Well… duh. The guy runs a competing storefront who’s only claims to fame are:

1. Spending a bunch of money for timed exclusivity and free giveaways, rather than building out core features.
2. They give devs a better cut than Steam to claim moral high ground.

… that’s it, that’s all the reasons to use Epic, unless you want to play Fortnite or participate in an Early Access period where they chose Epic to reduce the overwhelming amount of feedback like Hades.

I mean… the job markets are undeniably bad, it’s not an indefensible position that the rate should drop.

Trump has been openly and unabashedly trying to throw this guy out for ages, and he (accurately) talks constantly about how tariffs are a big cause of the current economic problems, he’s certainly not Trump’s lackey. I expect the rates to crater almost immediately after he’s gone, because Trump either doesn’t care about or literally doesn’t even understand the concept of long term consequences.
