My buddy and I started talking about Dauntless and I offhandedly mentioned that I wouldn't be trying it as it requires the Epic Games Launcher to play. He brought up that they provide developers more money and players free games. This spurred me into making a more detailed response to properly verbalize why I didn't like the Epic Games Store.
I'm open to hearing the other side and having a discussion on what I missed or messed up, but currently, I'm not a fan of their approach so I'm refusing to utilize their services.
