Sweeney really comes off as an angry guy who sees only enemies. Apple (justified, even though I'm an Apple nerd), Valve… let's find some more persecution-complex targets. Can we be mad at Steam? Let's go!
Epic offers jack shit in terms of features, has admitted to be losing money from the 12% cut, has a shitty storefront and is beholden to Tencent, the shittiest gaming company known to the world. Also, Steam is free advertisement, whereas the EGS is antiadvertisement.
There's at least as much of a "massive discrepancy" between what Valve and Epic provide as value to people that chose their service.
