Will this be like the v1 roadmap where they continuously delayed many features until they gave up and privated the entire Trello board?
If what they claim is true then they’re actually doing a good job. It’s just that even with the significant advancements… I don’t trust them. They should be working on their PR as well. More lawsuits in favor of consumers like the Apple lawsuit they had would help move people over.
Aren’t user reviews one of the things that were on their original roadmap back when they first launched egs?
Cool but can they make it so when I buy the game, it’s in my steam library? No? Not interested.
They didn’t get people into their store by literally giving up free games.
They are not getting people in with q UI redesign.
“Promise”?
I have never understood why Epic did not make a decent store. They can absolutely compete if they actually tried. They have close to zero things going for them in terms of user experience or price. Quite the opposite.
A lot if people, myself included mainly care about price and drm. So Steam is not something I care about, just price or GOG.
Epic has a negative UX in terms of their store. GreenManGaming, Fanatical etc, has vastly better stores. Why is Epic wasting enormous amounts of money on giveaways, when most people see no reason to buy from them?? I prefer not using their store, not because Steam is better, but because Epic truly sucks.

I’m with you. Although if the game is only on Windows, I’d rather be on Steam to make the Linux compatibility automagic.
I’ve had a great experience with Heroic for this purpose. Generally just as easy to configure as Steam, compared to Bottles or some strange Lutris script
I have this preference as well but it’s not too important for me. I care mainly about the price and if I can actually own the game. So if I pay 50% more I don’t buy on GOG but 10% 20 sure. Otherwise it’s just wherever I can get the cheapest.
Took 7 years to have reviews? I dont fucking get it, like at all.
Because they knew they’ll get bombarded with people shitting on the epic version and recommending the steam version over and over.
I’m not even touching the storefront of AI and NFT shilling that Epic games aspires to be. Sweeney can fuck himself
Dear Tim. Give up already.
DRM platforms are DRM platforms. Epic, Steam, Uplay and what not - at least I don’t care.
I wish Steam would remove all DRM. The big companies would not dare to oppose them with Steam’s near 100 percent PC market share.
To be fair to Steam, the DRM is optional for developers. You can pressure those developers not to use it. That being said, Steam could have a DRM tag so you could filter out the DRM games.
What’s the point? They don’t offer the installers, you need the client to install the games.
They absolutely would oppose them and create (or exclusively use if they don’t already have it) their own platforms. Normies will buy their ball&gun games where they are available. They probably don’t know that Steam has anything other than FIFA or whatever it’s called now.
Losing AAA games would destroy Steam. The revenue of only indie and AA games is only a small (albeit significant) portion of the total. Even the only remaining AAA games in this hypothetical scenario, Valve’s own games, would not save them.
Besides, this isn’t feasible. Either they ask publishers to remove the DRM or leave (they will leave), or they forcibly push updates with cracked executables, which is illegal and a violation of trust.
Yeah we already have GOG for this purpose. Valve imposing similar restrictions would be reckless.
It’s claiming to be 6 times faster, and then it’ll turn out to be an Electron app.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope otherwise…
User reviews, huh? That only took, what, 7 years?
Watch me not give a fuck 6.5x faster.
No tux no bux
I love this XD
