MODERATORS
It wouldn't call it salty so much as disgusted down votes. Salty implies someone's jealous, and why the fuck would anyone be jealous of someone else buying a game regardless of where it's from. Makes no damnable sense.
On the other hand it's well known the majority of gamers that frequently online discussions anywhere on the internet dislike the epic store and see it as awful. So calling them disgusted down votes fit.
Yea, definitely felt dirty buying from there, but it's the only store the game will ever be available from, and Remedy makes fine games
Wait, does remedy have an exclusivity deal with epic?
For Alan Wake 2, yea
Epic entierly funded the game, and as far as I know, that includes it being solely on EGS
