A couple of months ago they didn't even support regional pricing. Still doubt they support domestic cards. With so many news on hacks on epic account, I've never heard of abyone being thrilled to create an epic account

Isn't steam the reason thousands of windows games work out of the box on mac and linux though? Wine wasn't as awesome as it is now without valve's involvement

people have gone to ridiculous lengths to get the steam version of their games before.They treat it like a profile page. I don't think this thread realizes that

probably the security flaws and lying about stopping exclusives. Tim Sweeney has caused a lot of outrage with his recent statements on press, which pretty much were lies. Can't link since don't have time, sorry
