comparing steam and epic is kind of like comparing good restauraunt to some seedy fast food place where cook sometimes spits in the food out of spite and you always get dirty plates.
Epics “free games” thing reminds me of a candy van. You gain more by staying away as who knows what the launcher does on your computer, they do have to make their money from somewhere and selling harvested user information would be quite neat way to make some money as a final fuck you if they start to go under. There is probably a reason they dont seem to care about making better platform.
I honestly do not understand people hating on Epic and wanting them to fail.
If they hadn’t done the launcher update to mog steam, the steam launcher would still be slow as fuck.
Competition is a good thing and Steam having a monopoly isn’t. They contribute to you not owning games and need you to be locked into their systems and servers even for offline play. Steam is a buisness not some force for good in a world of evil.
I want steam to have competition, steam being monopoly is scary as then it might turn bad one day. but epic doesnt want to compete. They try everything else but trying to make better product. And its pretty clear their ultimate goal is to be monopoly themselves by doing what they can to drive steam out of business but they fortunately keep failing because they cant comprehend why people prefer steam over their crappy things.
At least something good came out of them now, but that was likely just a fluke. If it wasnt then its good and hopefully they continue to goad steam to become better.
But I wish there was some service that tried to take steam on by doing better than they are doing.

GoG exists, you’re just not using it. Every game is DRM-free and works offline, the launcher can lauch games from other libraries (Steam, Epic) and doesn’t discriminate between games bought there vs bought some place else.
