That'd be Control, and they've just rolled back the DRM claiming it was a mistake when preparing the game for paid expansions.

who could have thought that the chinese government could build a state where the fascist and strong thrive and the questioners and physically feeble get under the boot - a state hitler wanted to build.

on topic - where it's the cheapest and most convenient like it was in the past also :-) not a big percentage of people cares about y'alls ideology bubble folks.

does the epic launcher contain a web browser like steam in big picture mode

The honeymoon is over for Epic and you don't hear as much about them anymore. At least I don't.

Some publishers/devs do not want to participate in a sale and that's their prerogative. Also the it's up to the devs/publishers if their game wants to be a part of the sale. If you look at Vampire: The Masquerade 2 the game is a pre-order and the dev/publisher did not want the game to be part of that sale.

The sooner we ignore all this DRM crap the sooner it will go away. Epic will be no different. If you support it, then you deserve everything you get.

Epic will flame out. Run out of money to buy up big/good titles.

They are backed by a government owned company. They will never run out of money.

In the future, counting more than 20 years, everything will be pushed into streaming. When consoles makers (lol), R*, Blizzard, Bethesda, Ubisoft decide to stop unilaterally their storage servers for non-streaming games and then follow google, Amazon and Facebook on it, Steam will be in the situation where it has to supply past to 1 million games/DLCs. A true junkyard.

Then Steam will offer the new Streamworkshop for devs: a tool suite to port games into streaming with a lot of (unuseful) services, for the gamers (as some say). Oh sure, Valve will erase backups of non-streaming games, but, their followers will say a lot of things: "I don't care about old games", "Valve is the true saviour of PC gaming", and so on.

Epic ? Well, they will do as the others do: nothing more. But, for some reason, they will be hit by the longest DDoS attack, for months, since the day M. Newell will pass in 2049. This will be called "the blackout" as a reference of an old obscure movie. Some say it was caused by a groupe called "The St Gabriel Replicants".

Gogers will be hunted down in the planet, because they will be stated as "pirates" since they dare to install and play their games offline and try to make private servers for streaming games.
In the very obscure remaining gog forums, there will be a special topic named "Steam games that don't need eyeprint" renamed after a flame war about definitions of DRM regarding streaming, fringerprints, eyeprints and blood samples microvials and old forms of course, in forums which caused a turmoil called since the "CDPR forums-gog forums civil war" between Cyberpunk 5 fans and goglodytes.

Accidentally DRM

Yeah I'm not buying Remedy's excuse either.
