Eh if people want to use the epic launcher that's their choice. I think it's a worse user experience than steam so even with a bunch of free games idk if that many zoomers would use it exclusively. But maybe you're right.
I'm much more worried about what happens when Gaben dies and who takes over after him. I can see a future where Epic drops ungodly amounts of money to aquire steam.
Unless Gabe trains a successor that doesn't take the company public it's almost certain gonna go public, get bought out and go through Enshitification.
Games exclusive to launchers isn't healthy for the industry, we don't need more of that right now. I'm a zoomer, granted I am on the older side, and I'm mostly invested in steam since it's what I ended up accumulating a lot of games on, it's what was popular at the time I got into PC gaming. I could definitely see that same thing happening for younger people with Epic.
