But all the other companies had in mind something else besides "gotta beat the other guys" and actually brought something to the table.

You can't deny that Epic taking 12% revolutionized the industry, with Microsoft following suit and even Valve making some small changes. As Gabe himself said on the competition, "it keeps [them] honest". That's a win for game creators.

For the gamers, we got many free games and I think the Epic freebies inspired Microsoft to offer similar deals with Game Pass, Amazon with Prime, and even GOG recently gave away a pretty notable game, Blacksad, which was uncharacteristic in relation to their past giveaways.

Pretty sure all those were offering games with their subscriptions long before Epic store was a thing.

But, on the other hand, every other thing they did outweighs the rest - exclusivity, shitty launcher, and spyware.

I am also not sure if any game given away by Amazon Prime really interested me at all.
