    It’s a store not a platform

    If walmart doesn’t have a game, you would check gamestop

    Don’t try to hijack the platform exclusive argument

      When you’re required to use their “store” to play the games too, then it’s a platform. And an isolated one, at that. Imagine you could only buy a game AND PLAY IT at Walmart.

      Platform exclusivity is part of Epic Games’ problem. Not the sole issue, but a big one.

        The platform is the OS

        And you aren’t forced to use their launcher, that’s a Valve thing
