Kind of hilarious how much of a hate-boner the internet has for Epic, but really? Worse than Take Two, owner of Rockstar and infamous for suing fan projects into oblivion? Worse than Microsoft?! Utterly delusional.
Epic is a cornered animal of a corporation that threatens to undermine a stable and generally positive status quo in the PC space and is owned in part by an authoritarian country’s proxy company. (Sort of like how EA is now, though less direct obviously) If they succeed in their plans the PC space just becomes straight up worse for PC players.
Maybe as far as evil goes Microsoft by its sheer size might beat it because Microsoft has its fingers in all sorts of pies. But Microsoft isn’t as hungry or ravenous and is less immediately dangerous, its more like a lumbering giant where one hand barely knows what the other is doing. It’ll knock over good things, generally cause harm, and enshitify its own products but its all a much slower process.
