Sooo what's the problem with Epic store? No seriously, people hate it and i don't understand why. Personally, i use it alongside Steam and it's okay, so i don't understand the hate.

It's literally spyware
Steam is a rancid pile of shit. Why? Social media, bloatware, DRM, spyware, it's just shit.
Epic is more of Steam.
So it's shit.
They participate in anti-consumer practices so I don't give them money. I just pirate their games because I'm not a retard/shill like you.
Shit marketing thread, kill yourself OP. Unironically though, I actually hope you end yourself.
Remember kids, if you must respond to shills to put sage in the options. Thanks!
Thought that Epic store games are DRM free. Also, what social media? I use the Epic Store without ever associating it with social media
Fuck off, paid marketer shill.
No amount of seasoning will make this shit thread appetizing.
It's a garbage storefront that functions like ass
>You need to be always online to play
Trash
You know why, Cheng. It's Chinese spyware.
>Thought that Epic store games are DRM free
Who told you that? Not even steam is DRM free, GOG is the only DRM free store there is.
huh? I never had any problems with it.
Steam from the other hand... uhh...
the problem is that they sell new games, new games are nothing but pozz
Erm, gentleman.
Steam works fine, your winnie the pooh chink overlord fucking with your internet isn't steams fault.
Is there any store/platform where it doesn't force you to be always online?
The stupidity of the answers in this thread is beyond the IQ of an ant
This is a literal shill.
its extremely clunky and slow and also means I have to look into two places to get my games
I literally don't care about being spied on or whatever, the CCP can feel free to watch porn and read retarded politics along with me
I just hate it because its less convenient to use than Steam, thats the only issue
simple as

First game I bought was Tony Hawk and I had issues with the cloud save. First day I played it was fine, the second day I played for about 4-5 hours, made tons of progress decide to head to bed. Wake up next day to find that my cloud saves rolled me back. Epic is like the dollar store version of steam to day one. Current recognition is centered on fortnite which is fleeting. I only check them out for free games and even then I almost never play them after adding them. Sales mean nothing if the games they're selling are only worth pirating. Tim is also a lying faggot.
We didn't need a digital storefront in the first place. It literally killed physical PC games.
Then, stream becomes so profitable that every dev saw dollar signs and wanted a slice of the pie, segmenting the market, requiring multiple accounts and software you don't want or need, etc.
Epic is the result of the Fortnite money printer shitting out software that has enough backing to actually take Steam on. Steam, for all its faults, is an established hub for PC gaming. Some people have a library of games thousands deep, but they're expected to abandon it for a handful of free games and some exclusivity deals. It's fucking pathetic.
Console gaming isn't perfect either but if you're not pirating games the PC gaming infrastructure is fucking garbage sometimes.
>Is there any store/platform where it doesn't force you to be always online
Yes, Steam
user, we aren't talking about steam here.
i guess i'm a shill. I've gotten so many free games on Epic. I don't play 80% of them but I dropped tens of hours if not maybe a hundred+ on a couple of them. I don't give them any money ever I guess they are just stealing my data and making money that way?
GOG
Steam, GOG, Piracy.
I have yet to see a serious answer so the verdict is that Epic is kino and v/ is just v/
I genuinely don't know what makes Epic bad, can I have a quick rundown?
>inb4 SHIILLLL
I am asking you to fill the thread with evidence of Epic being shit, that is pretty much the opposite of being a shill.
This is the only acceptable use of egs. Piracy is preferable though.
yeah that filthy rat tim. you know, you fuckin know.
Steam never lets me do anything unless i am online
Exclusivity deals. They're objectively shit and argument otherwise is CCP propaganda.

I have it installed because it's the only way to play THPS 1 + 2 on PC, and I got it for dirt cheap, otherwise I've never played a single game they've given for free, all of them are shit. That said, I've never run into any problems with it other than the fact that you need to be online to play the game.
I'm pretty much a normalfag. Me and my brother use the same computer and have diffferent Steam profiles. When he bought games, I could play it from my account and viceversa.
When he bought something in EGS, and I tried to play it in my account, it wouldn't let me play it, saying I didn't own it and needed to switch profiles.
I'm not buying any more shit in EGS just because of that.
They brought all the baggage of console wars to PC by enforcing exclusivity for games, sometimes to the point where a game on Steam is eventually yanked from it. That alone earns them my ire.
This. According to retards, apparently you can't hate third party launchers and DRM without being a steam fanboy. I'm soooooo sorry that I just want an exe of my video game that I can run at any time, without needing gaben or timmy telling me when I'm allowed to do it. Anyone who advocates for less freedom on the customer's end is an enemy of mine.
Steam doesn't, Qiang.
1 yuan was deposited into your account.
Literal shill lies. Kys chink.
Finally a sane person in here.
Epic Store is cool guys.
Why do you even ask that here? This place is full of steamshills, do you really want those (You)s that bad?
Its a bad launcher when I already have a pile of shit launchers
I'll log in to get a free game ill prolly never play but as for using it? Nope, doesn't even have reviews.
>digital storefront
If only. Fat jew gabe made a drm botnet that installs a fucking system service and forces you to launch it every time you want to play any game. And now we have a shitload of clones of such botnets that pretend to be """"stores"""", because degenerate zoomers can't live without glownigger anal probes up their asses.
And there are examples of good devs that have their own stores and updaters that work perfectly without any steam/epic cancer. So there is literally no fucking point to use that shit.
Kys faggot chink ass nigger.
>If only. Fat jew gabe made a drm botnet that installs a fucking system service and forces you to launch it every time you want to play any game.
This is a chinese lie.
>doesn't even have reviews.
>inb4 shills shouting useless features
China, shit game selection, always needs to be online, timed exclusive cancer, horrible layout, less convenient than steam.
The launcher itself is just a pile of shit with nothing useful going for it even after all the chink money they receive
Do you remember what people in here were saying about Steam when it launched?
THEY HATED IT
now? Oh steam my lord, oh steam i love you.
Okay but is Epic Store making profit or they gonna close it? Also, if it's not making profit, how long did it take for Steam to make profit?
>50 replies in less than 10 minutes
You tell me user.
No reviews and no community forums. So if you're having problems with some new "Epic exclusive" and can't run it properly, you're SOL.
Try actually using the EGS client after using Steam for a while.
Steam was shit on when it was shit. EGS is shit and will be shit on until (lol as if) it stops being shit.
Epicniggers literally head to Steam forums for troubleshooting. Happened with Metro Exodus and Anno 1800
>No seriously, people hate it and i don't understand why.
It's because they bribe devs for exclusivity. People don't like it when Epic pays in order to remove all their alternative purchasing options, which is entirely understandable. The store is also fundamentally shit, because it's severely lacking in basic features and doesn't have anything it does better than others to set it apart, so in other words from a customer's point of view there's literally no reason to prefer spending your money on Epic, but there IS reason to prefer other options. The game selection is also quite small, it just isn't a store where one simply goes to purchase video games. You only touch it if there's no other choice or they're giving you something for free.
Steam and GOG, even Ubisoft's thing has the option I think
Wait a minute. People actually imply that no review option is actually a bad thing? Who the fuck cares about these feautures anyways?
It's less faggoty than Steam, which is just Facebook for gamers at this point.
>degenerate zoomer is so computer illiterate he can't check his own services
Nigger, it's set to fucking AUTOSTART by default. Why the fuck steam starts with the system every time when you are not even playing games? Fucking zoomer niggers literally defending jews for free, holy fuck.
Yes, it's a bad thing.
Do you REMEMBER how shitty Steam was when it launched? That was well deserved and probably on about the same level as Epic. If they want to compete with Steam then maybe trying putting in something other than Schneizel effort.
