For those against Epic and their forced exclusives

Epic claims to want to save PC gaming but instead only divide the market and divide PC gamers

The purpose of this group is NOT to hate on anyone who's using Epic Games Store, nor to harass them. We are simply taking stance against Epic's questionable and anti-consumer business practices.

We believe video games industry is strong, however... Epic Games seeks to fracture the market with exclusivity deals.

If you disagree with their practice of buying out games that were originally promised on Steam or GoG, feel free to join us.

What we offer:

Informational news from our curator page .
Weekly gaming news without clickbait (via our announcements).
A discussion area for discussing news in the games industry.

P.S. We are NOT associated with r/fuckepic by any means.

Introducing.. "Killed By Epic Games"

20 June - 🌴𝙍𝙀𝙏𝙍𝙊🌴 | 49 Comments

Hello y'all

Recently we've come across an interesting website which documents EVERYTHING that Epic Games has touched and killed off for good.
Be sure to check it out:

https://www.killedbyepicgames.com/

"Killed By Epic Games is the graveyard (and a Parody of Cody Ogden's concept) of Epic Games and its affiliates; On this site you will find a free list of all companies, video games, software, products, among other projects in which Epic Games has been involved completely or partially."

"This page collects, verifies and maintains information on products that have been touched, acquired, killed, abandoned or touched by Epic Games and its affiliates. This project is managed by a single person."

If you ask us the website concept itself is rather neat, but... Its also a grim reminder that Epic Games (especially Tim Sweeney) is no good for the industry (still).
