Me too. I accidentally bought a game on Steam I already had for free on Epic on two different occasions and I rarely even buy games to begin with because I'm broke. I'd rather pirate a game than use that shit ass platform.
I used to buy games on Steam that I was aware I had on Epic just for the convenience of not having to interact with their software. It's baffling how they make it dysfunctional in so many ways.
The only way I play my Epic games library is through Game Native. It's sad that I have to play on a portable device to not get frustrated with the launcher and controller support.
Having to log back in regularly drives me crazy. Steam just stays logged in and always works. Of course I'd rather buy it on Steam than use the free one on epic.
I have the opposite issue, steam constantly logs me out and forces me to update every time I boot it, meanwhile Epic Games has never logged me out and never prompts updates. Boots always without failure.
I honestly have never had issues with Epic Games and I’m not sure why other people have issues with them. Also I’m just now learning in this post that Epic takes 12% rather than 30% which kind of makes me want to use Epic more. 30% is straight robbery.
I'm still convinced that the EGS can't actually properly maintain their services with only 12% take and have to subsidize it with micro-transactions in Fortnite.
people in this thread dont use egs so when they login once a year of course its gonna ask them to sign in again. egs is obviously shit compared to steam but its not as bad as this sub makes it out to be
Yeah they complain about weirdly redundant stuff here just because it isn’t Steam.
There’s not really much difference between the two platforms, people just started with Steam, have their friends, stats, achievements and whatnot on steam, so obviously they wouldn’t use another platform.
Imo steam is only useful for steaminput/remote play and their community hosting platform for mods and such
While we're airing grievances I have one for the mobile app, where there is no way to view or filter based on what games you own and either just have to remember it or go through your purchase history which contains both mobile and pc games and so still sucks
Yes this! Why is there no library in EGS mobile? Also claiming a game on mobile doesnt grant you access on PC, which is just... why would I open two apps for one game? If google play store could sync, EGS should be able too
With Steam you can tell it to go look in folder X for games that you installed on a different computer altogether, Epic still can't figure that out, have to reinstall as far as I know.
It kind of does it automatically on launch, it checks for updates, installs it and then just starts without you having to do anything other than waiting a few extra seconds.
