@dennizfm@DaveOshry It took them over 2 years actually. Epic just doesn't care about consumer features. Their strategy is mostly based on keeping 3rd party games away from Steam.
You'd think at some point they'd try to "build a better store" but never even tried.
What a waste of time and money and good people who have been let go from Epic.
@Cliff8161@Cromwelp These features may be useless to you, lots of other people actually use and like them. PC gaming is all about choice, so I will boycott any efforts to take this choice away from us.
@Cliff8161@Cromwelp Adding non-steam games to steam doesn't give you access to most of steam's features (steamworks, workshop, family sharing, friendlist etc). Also, you can't blame people for preferring the platform that gives them the best UX.
@puctius @Cromwelp I disagree. Fragmentation doesn't benefit us as gamers in any way. We need games being sold in as many stores as possible, including steam.
@BrokenRender@Cromwelp @HellkiteFiend Agreed. But competition should result in more choice for us as consumers, and not less because of exclusivity deals.
@MatPiscatella Innovation and consumer service are the only effective way to gain consumers loyalty on an open platform. It's both sad and strange that so many other big companies don't see that.
@nlangan@Wheresthebeef95@Wario64 A store that "competes" by taking games away from other storefronts instead of trying to build a better alternative isn't the kind of competition we need. And it's definitely not the only option to compete.
@Wheresthebeef95@Wario64 Restricting our choice where we can buy games is definitely NOT a good thing. Especially if that one store is miles behind the competition.
@EpicGames Keeping 3rd party games away from other storefronts isn't the kind of competition that benefits consumers. Any games involved in this pathetic deal will go to my blacklist permanently. 😡
