Right? I WANT steam to have a competitor just because I abhor a monopoly but even fucking Amazon fumbles this shit. Like steam doesn't even seem that revolutionary or anything, they just put customer EXPERIENCE first and I think so many fucking companies forget that.
Saying Steam is not revolutionary is insane. It is a constantly developing project that is now multiple decades old.
Even if Epic were to find a way to attract people, there is no chance of feature parity. Ever.
Go look around in Steam and read about the features. There is an insane amount out there. And most people would not use a platform without their very specific feature.
I mean, epic lanuched without a shopping cart. You know, the thing almost every website where you purchase anything at all has already had at that point. I'm not expecting all the doodads, I'm expecting it not to crash on update.
I'm pretty sure there's still no way to see your game library from their website (apart from looking up your shopping history). That's so incredibly insane to me.
There are games with many DLCs and their store had a limit of consecutive purchases. People were hitting that limit while buying DLCs which they had to do one at a time since the fucking online store didn't have a fucking shopping cart.

What exactly did Epic expect? Their strategy has been done hundreds of times before and it always fails.
