It was a terrible play, solely because their store suck.

From very early on, gamers were VERY vocal of what they wanted from Epic store, and Epic didn't deliver, instead they shoveled money into the fire basically.

Example of stuff that money could have better been spent on:

1. Discussion/Comments 2. Review system 3. Functioning shopping cart 4. Linux support (instead Epic did the opposite, for example buying Rocket League and removing Linux support) 5. ability to work with other stores (like Gog Galaxy does)

and so on.

Instead they choose to have a shitty, basically unusable store (that by the way, killed an older laptop GPU of mine by sending it to 100% in a screen that was only text, until the thing burned itself down), and "bribe" both creators and gamers, hoping this would replace an actual good product.
