    The most annoying thing to me is the handful of indie games I've funded that have said they will launch DRM free on multiple platforms, only to revise that and be Epic store exclusive on launch. I know its hardly the end of the world, especially since they took refunds from people who didn't fund it with that in mind, but its still very aggravating, especially since that kind of thing has happened to me a few times now.

    Just makes me not want to use their platform at all, especially at a time when I'm trying to use as few game platforms as I can, just to keep my computer uncluttered. I miss the days when all games were just an .exe, and you didn't need to log into an account and drink your verification can to play, and I still try to go out of my way to buy games that allow you to run them like that when I can.

      Epic is at least somewhat unobtrusive for now. You just have to use their launcher to start the game. No crazy always online Ubisoft login yet.

        You don't have to use their launcher either. You can install the game anywhere and just launch from the EXE.
