      We’re working on a review system for the Epic Games store based on the existing one in the Unreal Engine marketplace. It will be opt-in by developers. We think this is best because review bombing and other gaming-the-system is a real problem.

      So why not improve the moderation of review system rather than removing them? How are the gamers going to discuss and ask for help with gameplay without forum and the devs are not helping proactively

      A review system isn't for tech support or community assistance discussions. Almost every single game has dedicated community somewhere, as well as tech support assistance. Even the console platform holders have dedicated sections for this.

      console platform holders having dedicated section actually backup my point: they provide a discussion place for games in their platform, but Epic games store didn't.

      There’s got to be a better way than N stores and N separate discussion forums around each game that appears in multiple stores...

      Just admit you don't want to host forums and make them for multiple game. I mean, the money you don't take with your cut has to come from somewhere... cost cutting measures on customers. It's been a while since you played on PC I think.

      When there are lots of stores and games support lots of platforms, wouldn’t general public forums like Reddit be better?

          Gamers aren't going to abandon their fav watering holes. It's why, for example, in the era of Discord, Reddit & 4Chan are still a thing. N stores + N forums isn't the problem. Moderation is. As I stated in my pinned thread, removing the ability to review games is not a solution

          @galyonkin also mentioned this. The issue with that is, features don't make it any less a forum. Nobody is making an "old fashioned" message board. And adding those features is inconsequential because it won't solve the problem of moderationhttps://twitter.com/galyonkin/status/1084877056456957957 …

          For example, forums were revolutionary 20 years ago, but right now there are better tools to have discussions online. Reddit, Quora, even Twitter allow for both threaded discussions and upvotes/likes. I’d rather have something like that than an old-fashioned message board.

          I fully support the Epic Store. That said, I don't think Reddit is useful for game reviews, except maybe on launch day when they aggregate review scores. Steam reviews are mostly very useful, but unfortunately sometimes abused :(

          I almost always disagree with Steam reviews unfortunately. The masses are highly susceptible to group think and circlejerking over minor stuff. The only games that have really good Steam Reviews are, in my opinion, really boring and terrible games that don't take any risks.

          No it wouldn't since they'd share with other platforms troubleshooting and such. It's been a while since you played on PC and it shows. Instead of using dedicated game forums I can access in a click, you want me to go far away in a board that isnt dedicated to it

          Right, like Reddit, or perhaps, I dunno.. the Steam forums? Gotta admit, that's a great way to shirk the burden of providing feature parity. Just have people use the free functionality offered by your competitor!

          I have to agree with this Tim on this. I have been buying mostly from GoG for years, but I will still use the forums on Steam even for games I bought on GoG, and I get called a pirate because I don't have the mouse icon, or told I have no right to be there.

          General place for forums with no bias towards a store would help a lot in getting rid of some of the toxicity.
