You're spending a lot of effort defending a company that's basically force feeding you options on third party games. And capitalism works in many ways, and without regulation we'd still have child labor. Just because a company does something that's technically legal that doesn't make it right...
Purchasing third party titles is anti-consumer, and is in no way a "competitive" way of doing business. If Epic wanted to compete, they would make a superior storefront, and maybe charge less than the other digital stores out there.
People keep saying Steam needs competition, but this is the farthest thing from competition. If Epic really wanted to compete, they would make a better store front and maybe sell at a cheaper price. Purchasing third party titles to keep them from going to superior digital stores is complete BS.

Thank goodness I live on the West Coast, where there is no God, but at least we give a shit about our fellow human beings.
I can't imagine that the plastic will hold up long with heavy use. I've never had a plastic hinge not crack, the most recent was a lid for the water tank on my espresso machine (definitely not heavily used).
If the PC gaming market becomes too fragmented, it will die. It's an open platform and that's good to a point, but there is only so many store fronts the average PC gamer will tolerate before going back to console simplicity....especially when next gen consoles are on the horizon supporting M/KB.
Looks alright, though I'm not buying a game that was hijacked by a certain storefront. Having different competing storefronts on PC is one thing, but 'hijacking' away third party PC games to somehow jump start your store front? No thanks. That's not competition. That's bullshit.
You won't release the game on other PC platforms (including Steam) until February 14, 2020? You're pretty much making this whole thing a self fulfilling prophecy. Thinking short term by going Epic exclusive was a horrific long term business move.
Out of principle I'm not going to purchase this...
I really think that if Epic wanted to win over PC gamers, they should have let the $59 Steam version stay in place, and compete by having the $49 price on the Epic store. To me that would avoid all of the toxic perception of buying a third party game to get your store into the limelight. As of...
You still have a few hours to purchase this on Steam. I'm not buying this title out of principle.
Epic buying exclusivity on PC third party titles needs to end NOW. I love the first two games, but I can't support this horrible practice.
Edit: It's officially absent from Steam. Fuck Epic, and...
I've been using MSI afterburner, and the highest I can clock the core is 82MHz. I haven't tried to increase the voltage, due to the fact I don't want to harm the card. I've also run the fans at 88% and the highest temp I recorded during any benchmark was 76C.
I have increased the power limit to...
Personally, I have Origin, Uplay and Windows Store so I have alternatives. I don't consider competition a good thing when there are exclusives that are bought and paid for to keep titles from being released on other PC store fronts. It's bullshit.
While this might be great for some, it would take a lot more for me to download another game client on my PC. In fact, almost nothing could convince me to download another game client.
Of all the games to make exclusive to the Epic store. Everyone's friends are on Steam, and so is the largest player base. If this was a single player game it would make more sense, but the Division 2? It doesn't matter how small of a cut the store is taking if you don't sell any copies......
Fuck new tech. let's hide like pussies in the here and now. I am not happy about the performance of Ray Tracing either, but before this card was released it was said it could never be done in real time. EVER. The cards are expensive, but let's not bitch and whine about a new GPU tech that's...
Though I'm primarily a PC gamer, I do find uses for the Xbox One. The best one is having it my sons room, but connected to my network. I can play any game that was released on Xbox on my PC through the Xbox app. So I played Red Dead Redemption on my PC that way. I rarely play my PS4, the Switch...
When I bought my 16 year old daughter an Omen gaming laptop (what she wanted) for Christmas, one of the things she loved most was setting it up for the first time using Cortana.
For fucks sake, this is the [H]? My Dad told me there was no reason to ever go beyond a few MB, (big at the time of the conversation) of space, because no one could ever use that much space, ever. Let's all be happy companies are pushing for the pinnacle. Why the sarcasm and thumbs down? I don't...
According to whom? I actually enjoy a curved screen, especially on ultra wide monitors.
Oh, and 1080p is too low res for this size of monitor, and has been for a long time.
I have an RTX 2080ti and have had zero issues running Shadow of the Tomb Raider in DX12, so this isn't an issue that affects everyone that is running Nvidia hardware.
