== Epic Games Store YMMV ==
* [[Bad Liar]]: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney as this, due to his contradicting Tweets.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: How some games managed to leap from other digital stores to EGS.
** Some of these games did their leaping at last minute before their debut.
* [[Broken Base]]: The new launcher became like this to the larger pc gaming community, when Epic Games began doing shady methods to obtain exclusives.
** A bit subverted, since the launcher was like this long before it decided to upgrade.
Line 1,145 ⟶ 1,147:
* [[Doesn't Trust Those Guys]]: Some gamers don't even trust Epic Games at all, since the company already displays tone deafness or worst, clueless. Since they made an idiot comment about pc gaming back in the day, were the game company blames most or all of them for piracy when one of their games had low sells.
** See the "It got worst" example with indie game companies.
* To some gamers, Epic Games just:
** In May 18, 2010, Blame piracy on low sales in the past and hypocritically stated that they will never support PC gaming or gamers that play on PC. Since in their minds those that play games on PC are pirates...No matter what.
Line 1,163 ⟶ 1,164:
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney's boasts that his launcher will save PC gaming. When it made things more difficult for pc gaming, actual competition, and other launchers as a whole, like:
** Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
*** Epic Games Store outright bought Kamu, the company that created Easy Anti-Cheat, while they are in the midst of working with [[Valve]] to make the anti-cheat compatible with Proton.
* [[Protagonist Journey to Villain]]: Some gamers see Epic Games and the EGS controversy as this. The company used to be awesome and producing memorable titles are now a shadow of its former self.
* Some gamers took issues about the Epic Games Store roadmap, for example they were told that certain features would be available sooner and fully implemented. But these features are in beta-form or not available at all.
Line 1,170 ⟶ 1,172:
* Other gamers decided to wait for the timed exclusive to be release in the client of their choice.
* Some gamers outright refuses to support ANY Epic Games Store timed exclusives whether they broke their promises or whether they are pro-consumer.
* Other gamers that are boycotting Epic Games Store ONLY use the launcher to nab them free games.
