That might be the grossest headline I've ever seen.

Yeah, it's like...slimy and oily. Ugh.

If Epic ever takes away the free games on their platform then be the day I will have no games on the platform and no reason to keep it.

I buy all my games on Steam and get free games on Epic.

As much as I dislike Epic Games, that's the biggest heck no for me.

Don't worry, look what happened to stadia etc.

I know Epic gets a lot of hate, but this is definitely a possible worst case outcome. Hopefully anything but this happens instead.

Ah yes, our shitty Big Tech corporations teaming up with the shitty Chinese Big Tech corporations, I don't see there any issues at all.

When your game of choice is proprietary it is part of a big, copyright trading card game.
