I feel like this has been the trend lately.

Company announces something terrible, then they get back lash, then they slightly take a step back and try to pretend to be the good guys.

Like, they knew this would happen all along.

I am DONE with Epic.

    Why are you done with Epic? They have not done anything wrong I as far as I know right now.

      Although Unity and Epic are not related (other than both being companies that make a game engine), and Epic is not related to these Unity pricing changes, Epic has still done a lot of things “wrong”. Especially for gaming on Linux. A lot of games that are currently unplayable under Linux is due to kernel-level (rootkit) anti-cheats. Being the creators of EAC, Epic has actively been harming the compatibility of games on Linux. Developers “can enable Proton support”, but even Epic themselves in many of their own titles don’t enable this.

      They haven’t pissed off the larger gaming industry to the point where everybody is moving off their platform/products, but they are still a greedy corporation. Remember the whole exclusives thing on the epic games store?
