Yeah, pretty much all answers are "You are wrong, the code change is easy".

Kinda sad that people don't make it even to the first line.

    lol why are you simping for them? they made a choice not to do this. they could easily do it with their manpower if they didn't, you know, keep laying people off in order to maximize profits. You're also overinflating how difficult it is to make games cross-platform compatible with the tools available today.

    It sucks a lot when people are so deep in their petty trench fights over brands that they think there is only "Me for this, You for that, You simp".

    I don't care about Epic and neither do I care for Steam. I buy my games where I get them the cheapest: Key resellers. And I don't care on which online store the cheapest price lands.

    If I was still developing games, I'd deploy them on both or on the one who pays me the most for an exclusivity deal.

    With that out of the way: I am only explaining simple backgrounds to people interested to listen.

    But sadly so many people fight over an online shop as if it was politics.

    Do you fight like that for your favourite online retailer? Or your favourite supermarket chain?

    What Steam and Epic do is business. They are no charities. They do stuff that makes them money. So any sane user should see it as a business transaction and buy where the price is best for what you get.
