I can’t see EGS being very happy about IOI letting people redeem over 100gb of downloads based on a background validation. That’s got to have a hefty server cost and they haven’t had the opportunity to sell it yet.

Yah this is totally on IO. Using their own, already existing, account system should be enough - at best, requiring players to log into both Steam and EGS accounts on IOI to link would be required.
This mess really isn’t on EGS or Steam, but on IOI. They kept stating content and progress would carry over as recently as two weeks ago, when they had no such system - and let’s be clear, such systems CAN be coded. Klei did it, for example.

Doesn’t Google and the Play Store own a huge majority of the market?
It stopped being the goal when some idiot decided a hairstyle belonged to them and them only and others followed suit.
It’s almost like only Americans with way too much free time go around their lives thinking a fucking hairstyle should only belong to them.
Meanwhile, good guy Apple forces the much smaller company whose free engine moves a good chunk of the internet (for free!) to sell stuff on their iOS apps (which were free and used to sell nothing at all) just so they can take their sweet 30% cut without which there’s no way Apple could remain in business:
That take is bad. The article defeats its own title by saying:
Except that FortniteBR has no loot boxes and has never had them, but ok. Nice, well-informed take, mate.
Apple’s iOS controls below 50% of the market; Google’s Android holds the majority.
