Epic Games

Epic has created console wars on the PC with their unethical and consumer unfriendly policies. They continue to throw their Fortnite bucks at publishers to secure exclusivity deals for new releases on their mess of a platform, and some of these games have already been advertised and promised on other platforms. The Epic Game Store lacks just about every single feature that all other popular platforms offer. They don't even offer a shopping cart to consumers, for crying out loud, and we saw the result of that, during what passed for their Summer Sale, a few weeks ago. Epic is promising some developer friendly features, like a review system, but they are giving developers the option to opt out of allowing reviews to show up on for their games. What kind of a review system is that?

Epic justifies the existence of their mess of a store by pretending to care about the revenue split between retailers and developers. Really, though, all they care about is taking market share away from all of the other platforms that they can't compete with. And, they can't compete with them because they aren't trying to improve their platform, at all; instead, they are coaxing over new customers to their mess of a platform by giving them an ultimatum to either buy their exclusives from them or wait a year to play them on other platforms. Epic's mess of a platform is developer friendly, and any new features that they offer will not be anything that their consumers will want. There is, literally, no reason for The Epic Game Store to exist, other than to cause mischief and mayhem in the PC marketplace. The Epic Game Store is a cancer to the PC and should be avoided. My recommendation to anybody who wants one of their exclusives is to wait it out... wait just a year or less and get the game on a reputable platform with features... one that is consumer friendly.

Some have said Epic is what steam needs, and I'm inclined to agree. However, Epic Games is fighting dirty. Rather than provide a better user AND developer experience with the vast amount of capital they have, they choose to bribe devs into exclusively using their store exclusively. Meanwhile the user experience means many people don't want to use it. $#*!ty UI (the friends list takes up a quarter of the home page and can't be minimized, for example), and lack of creature comforts from steam, like remote play or a simple option to review a game. Frankly, I just like steam more. Epic Games is a launcher and a store, much like uplay or origin, except they both have better UI (though Uplay not by much). Steam has taken the larger cut from developers, but reinvested it back into their platform. Remote play (allowing you to play pc games from your phone or tv), a large community section, mods, a cleaner UI that (thanks to epic games) has gotten better. Seriously, the only good epic has done is make steam start actually updating their client more regularly and not resting idly. To that I give them 1 star. However, removing consumer choice is not competition. It's a buyout. Funny thing is, devs may like it, but that's only half your client base. The other, larger half (though I wouldn't necessarily say more or less important) is users. There are users who will defend steam to the ends of the earth and worship Gabe as some kind of god. Obviously the latter is usually more of a joke, but when do you see people fervently do anything towards epic beyond simply vilifying it? There's a reason for that. Epic has tried to copy steam, but it made the fatal mistake of assuming steam is just a store front. Oh and they give free games I guess? That's not a bad idea, but I own most of the games they give out on steam.
