I am a bit afraid of Epic/Steam taking timed-exclusive rights to titles enticing their services because of this war. I really don't want 20 different clients installed on my PC for 20 different games because every publisher wants full control over their games so they can charge and do whatever they want to.
That's one of the benefit from this. Free games. But I mean we've seen this before with EA, and now with Bethesda and Activision offering games only on their platforms. Ubisoft may follow this trend in the future. And once the train keeps going we may see a ton of platform clients from each publisher. It's bit of a weird and conflicting situation for me because I like competition, it's good, but I also dislike launching more than one app to play games. Since I started my digital collection on Steam in 2004/05, that's the place I buy most games, even if I do have all the clients installed.
