    Aren’t user reviews one of the things that were on their original roadmap back when they first launched egs?

    Imagine what the epic store would look like if instead of spending all that time and money suing stream, they used it on their launcher

    Honestly the thing I like about the Epic launcher is how basic it is. Making it faster is great but user profiles and personal recommendations I couldn’t care less about.

    They still don’t have user reviews? What a joke of a store.

    Anyway, time to get my weekly freebiea

    I actually don’t care in the slightest about play profiles, reviews, etc. Most of Steam is just useless bloat to me. The problem with Epic is how damn laggy it is.

      This 100%. It’s near unusable for those of us that have it installed on spinning disks

    Oh no, rival game stores realize that they need to be better than steam to compete against steam? Won’t anyone think of the shareholders?!?

    It’s almost like their shitty games aren’t enough to draw in sales. Almost like bringing down prices to where people are willing to pay them might actually convince people to spend money.

    Weird.

    Once fortnite money dries up they will close up the store and you will lose all your games.

    Pass.

    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…

    Honestly could not think of a single thing that they could do to get me to download the launcher. None of those features make it steam, and never will

      I say let them try. If they actually innovate, we can only win. I’ll believe it when I see it, but currently steam has a monopoly by virtue, and we know how that ended for Intel, noVideo, Microslop, goggle and pretty much every other monopoly. It’s just GabeN holding the line before enshittification takes hold, and they’re already very active against European ownership laws.

        Yeah, I think the thing most of these giant companies forget is that they really gotta shine the users. They keep on just expecting everyone to just eat whatever they are given. The sad thing is most of them are right

      Same.

      Doesnt matter if it comes with a blowjob from Bea Arthur, Epic is a shitty company and I avoid them where ever I can.

    With Discord losing some popularity recently, I think the best thing they could do is create some sort of hybrid platform with connected apps (ie your profile also having a snapshot of Steam, PSN, Bnet, Microsoft etc)

    Maybe even partner with more niche games/companies
