It even came with a boot disc. EB also sold Rez and a new other Euro imports but in much smaller quantity.

Danm I had no idea - another thing I missed out to due to ignorance. Thanks for explaining the reasoning for the console specificity for 1 and 2, but with 3 I am still not understanding why the launcher matters on PC?

To me, personally, Sega is dead. They died with the DC. I don’t play PC games.I don’t care about this at all.
However if someone told me that I had to get another program like iTunes I don’t think I would be happy. Maybe it’s like that.

Sega has nothing to do with Shenmue 3 except to license the property to Yu Suzuki. As to the Epic launcher, for years people complained Valve’s Steam was an effective monopoly. But apparently they got complacent anyway, because now that there is a possibility they have to install a second launcher they’re up in arms. Not that EA, Ubisoft, and Microsoft hadn’t already had their own exclusive environments for years.
And Mac users are already seeing iTunes chopped into its constituent pieces. The latest Mac OS release has Music, Podcasts, etc... and iTunes is no more, except on Windows.

Do you exist just to correct people? I stand by what I said. Sega died. You just said it in a different way.
People don’t like huge programs. They don’t like signing up for even more services. It doesn’t matter what the thing is called. That’s the point. They’re all tied to your bank, they have yet another password, they all update daily, they all irritate us in slightly different ways. Nobody wants more. Maybe these dicks could go back to selling games that started and ran without being attached to home base and updated as constantly as they bill us and then we wouldn’t need the launchers everyone hates.
I agree that complaining about monopolies and then patronizing only those monopolies is illogical. However there may be more to it than that. Are people complaining only about Steam being a monopoly or are they complaining that they are abusing their monopoly? I ask because that’s key. Switching brands isn’t all that powerful, especially nowadays when you get more from shaming a company on Twitter than you do from outright suing them (actually happened to me).
