I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it's the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

Part of the hate is against Sweeny. The rest of the hate is that it isn’t steam.

There's A LOT to talk so you better check there. If you don't want to check, wait till your account get hacked and try ask support to get it back! You can give all the info you want but 99% of the times they just say "fuck you" and you lost everything

Edit: Can you customize your profile pic there? :)

Granted not everyone cares, I remember them giving away a pfp with Sifu but there's still no pfp customization. Why? They don't care about you but about your money

There's absolutely nothing wrong with epic games store. People think just because everyone on the internet told them not to like it so they have to not like it. It's a store. It sells you games then when you click on the game it opens so you can play. That's it literally that's all it does same as steam same and Xbox. Just like stores in real life I buy things where the price is the best which sometimes means I buy on epic or steam depending on the sales.

After reading your comment I'm not sure if it's just me, but I tend to not buy where owner of the store treat me like shit. Neither in real life nor online.

Here's another win for Steam:

Subnautica has a multiplayer mod, but it only works with an older version of the game. Steam lets you downgrade the version, Epic games does not.

I bought a couple games on epic when they were cheaper. I don't think I'd do so again.

  • the client isn't as good. It's slower, the way it paginates your games (I got a lot of free ones) is annoying. It really wants to show you store stuff
  • less (zero?) Linux support
  • don't think it does the game recording steam does
  • I don't think it has the remote play together steam does

There's probably other stuff I'm not thinking of. It's just not as good a service.

I rather gladly take my free games from them.
