User base and brand loyalty

Nothing about what Valve does but you can’t afford to not be on Steam even though it’s the inferior product

That’s why EOS works with any platform

Steam is, in my opinion, way better for the user (even if it may be worse for the developer).

Epic lacks features that are important to me like reviews, the ability to view your library in a browser, warnings about DRM, Linux support, a hole bunch of features to discover games, a workshop, big picture mode.

Additionally, in my experience at least, their official launcher under Windows is a buggy mess compared to steam.

EGS has reviews as far as I can tell. I still think Steam is better, but this is a welcome move out of them. Competition is a good thing

Edit: downvoted for pointing out that EGS has reviews. Y’all are weird lol

I was talking about written reviews, not just a like/dislike (star) system
