I gave Epic's store a chance but even after all this time it's still shit and very far from feature parity with Steam. There's not even proper reviews. No big-picture equivalent. No good out-of-the-box Linux support. No Steam-Deck. The list is very very long. Until Epic starts delivering, the 30% cut Valve takes is more than justified.
I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.
Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I'd support then.
Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.
I gave it a chance when they took over Rocket League. The damn platform doesn't even support profile avatars while Steam did. So to get a basic nice feature working all you had to do was... not use their platform.
They still don't have avatars.
They absolutely slaughtered rocket league. They even put the dumb cyber truck in it lmao
Oh really? I haven't played since they disabled trading items.
I mean, the cyber truck probably looks better than some of the other cars, and you'll probably get better FPS due to the lowered polygon count! But yeah... no bueno.
It's actually quite close to the real version.
So no.
I haven't seen it, but I thought it might be better than the Grog or Scarab.
Surely you jest
I went and played a few games. You're right, the cybertruck is the worst looking car in the game by far.
FWIW, my understanding is that the owner of Epic is actively anti-Linux, so your third feature is a unlikely at best. The fourth was only remotely likely due to market share.
Yeah i get and play the free games from there, but they don't seem to want to do more than the bare minimum for the storefront so I won't purchase anything through them.
It's beyond me how they can affors all of these free games and exclusive but not a single capable developer to make this platform beyond just the bare minimum.
Heroic launcher works pretty well to get epic and gog games in the deck. But yes, support could be better, especially since i remember unreal tournament being Linux friendly early on.
