I’m genuinely shocked how much Epic poured into the store and it still lacks so much basic features. Sorting games is still extremely barebones, store is filled with NFT/crypto garbage, the store still looks like a college student’s first front-end project, and last time I used the launcher to pick up free games (last year), it was still slow as hell. What were they doing in the past 5 years aside from dropping millions on exclusivity deals?
Epic is going to have to prioritize the store and try some new initiatives while also doubling down on earning pivotal exclusives if it is going to have a chance. I also hope other viable competitors arrive.
You can’t just launch Steam games without Steam running, Steam itself is DRM.
not true; that’s a developer thing, not steam itself.
steam offers it as an option, it doesn’t force developers to use it.
plenty of games bought on steam can be run entirely without steam.
