Honestly, it's nice to see Steam have competition. Though, it's interesting to see people complaining about Epic doing the exact same things Steam has been doing for nearly a decade now.

Or, did they all forget the physical copies of games in the mid 2000s requiring Steam to play?

Ultimately, the problem literally boils down to DRM in general; kill DRM, and the need to use launchers and this whole debacle wouldn't even be a thing.
