If you're competing against steam, you need to make your experience as good or better than steam.

From what people tell me, because I don't have it myself, the epic game store is really rough around the edges not a fun experience.

    I'm fine with a company making their own games exclusive to their own software platform.
    I don't like it, but I accept it.

    I absolutely hate a company inducing other companies to release only on their software platform. Seems like monopolistic practices rather than competing on services.

    Oh yeah they have bad actor vibes all over. The fact that they're pushing exclusive titles... That demonstrates that they're willing to make the gaming landscape worse for people to increase their own profits.

    They can compete on revenue share, they don't have to compete on exclusivity. That's console level bullshit.

    It still has no review system.

    They still have no Linux version.

    They still have many bugs in the store.

    It... its a mess

    Jesus, how can you run a digital storefront in this day and age and not let people post reviews? I read a bunch of those on steam before I buy most of my games.
