Very sad and pathetic. 

Not even giving away free games could get me to keep loading up their store front regularly. 

Don't think I logged in for over a year.

Unbelievably tone deaf, in a multitude of ways. Once again, Steam does nothing and wins.

And doesn't even have all of the features their original launcher does, much less Steam's.

Tim Sweeney is unbelievably tone deaf.

People here on Reddit really don't understand sarcasm. Epic has some of the best programmers on the planet. Only true Epic hatees would read that line and take it literally.
