Most of my gaming friends refuse to buy games from Epic or use their launcher.
They'd rather wait for the timed exclusive to expire and buy the game on their platform of choice.
I've bought maybe 2 games on Epic because a friend wanted to play it with me at launch. It was Borderlands 3.
But never again, I finished BL3 solo seeing as my friend played with me about 3 times and he never touched it again.
I do collect their free game every week, my Epic library is quite big now and I may play a game from there time to time but I hate the idea of a platform exclusive.
I'd like to know if they are making more money with timed exclusives seeing as nearly nobody I game with wants to buy from them.
