You are literally saying that the Epic store doing the same scummy things as Steam, makes it worse than Steam.

This is why gaming is in the shape it's in.

No, you were literally saying Epic was better than Steam because Epic is doing the same scummy things but just wasn't around when Steam started doing it.

I never made any claims as to whether I felt those practices are problematic or not, I just pointed out that they both do it so it's irrelevant in the comparison.

Epic is worse than Steam because of its aggressively anti-consumer practices like paid exclusives.

Point to where I said that.

paid exclusives

The same thing Steam did to secure its monopoly.
