Steam could completely shut down and I wouldn't touch Epic. I don't care what platform my games are on as long as they're nice to play on. Invest in something similar to gog galaxy or playnite, something that helps me play all my games but it belongs to your store and i have access to the below features.Ģ-you need a community, they will never become an actual store without a community to support the store.Ī community, reviews, discussions to keep people interested.ģ- a market and game keys, there's a cult behind the steam market, over a million deals daily and a ridiculous amount of keys of the most random games being traded daily.Ĥ- since you already take less money from publishers, might as well ask them to give the customers better offers than the ones they have on steam, the vast majority of gamers don't care or don't even know who develops or publishes a game or how much money they're making.įor me personally, if i see epic looking similar to steam i might start buying my games on epic just because steam's been really annoying and caring about their customers for many years now and i think it will make them put actual effort into their store if they see competition. I play another game, i can't know for how long, i don't know what i achieved, i don't know who have or want this game to talk to them about it, there's no one to ask about any problems i might have with the game, this is probably as close as you can get to play a pirated game, except that pirated game support modding. Paid for it on steam and all the DLCs too,Įpic did not support modding, joining server needed extra steps, it was annoying for both me and my friends. I'm really not inclined to support a company that tries to undermine the competition by operating at a loss like that (100% dev revenue share for exclusive is exactly this), but at the same time it's not a big issue as long as Epic is not in a dominant position. ![]() And this exclusive thing is actually one of those "other details" we could talk about once the core issues I listed are dealt with. When this is all done (not likely to happen anyway), we can see about other details.ġ00% revenues for devs looks like an interesting concept, but let's be realistic for a minute, these platforms provide a service to the devs, like hosting their huge poorly space-optimized games, processing payments, dealing with (some of the) customer support, etc, so it's only fair if they do take a share to cover their costs. I think with such steps they can get the needed attention and customers to be a, small, competitor to the overwhelming "each time some discounts, events and bundles" on steam and all the key selling shops.Ī much better client (like, one that doesn't require a background service to be running at OS startup, to begin with - AFAIK that's what Epic now does and is the reason I haven't updated my Epic client in ages) and dropping the horrible hCaptcha as well as the mandatory 2FA would be a basic requirement for me. On top, no keys that get revoked years after the purchase, no devs/publisher that use utopic prices for their trash shovelware etc.Īnd they implemented now the -90% deals and "pick by yourself" bundles, that i recommended them in one of the last surveys (maybe a coincidence but it feels good and hit my taste :o) ). And it is good as customer that steam have a, small, competitor, only this way they must do something over short or long to hold their customers (better prices, better client, better events etc.).įor me are GOG the only real competitor to steam because they offer not only a leasing license (as steam does) and instead a DRM free game that you really own. ![]() I like epic exclusives because i would anyway not purchase the games in the first year, in no shop, so it don't hit me and it is good for the devs/publishers. As more for the devs (or publishers) as better.
