      Epic contracted VGM (a market research firm) to do a survey of Fortnite players on PC to understand a wide range of details of how they play games.

      So according to this post https://metacouncil.com/threads/epic-game-store-spyware-tracking-and-you.766/#post-23902 … you started collecting Steam data in May of 2018, one month after Valve effectively killed Steamspy's ability to collect data. Is it a coincidence you started to collect Steam data at this time?

      I’m still supposed to be! Where I disagree with y’all is this idea that all games must be available in all stores regardless of store policies and revenue-sharing terms. Competition between stores means competition to offer unique products, as with Netflix and Amazon.

      Yeah, but cashing out developers is not competition? funneling data is competition? why not let the EPIC store stand on its own? Unreal Engine became as big as it did because you let it grow and brought features that others didn't. You never forced people to use it.

      Surely offering developers a better deal than competing stores is fair competition, and timing and guarantees of revenue are a big part of that in addition to revenue share.

      Fair competition for developers? absolutely. But you can see that the forced store exclusivity does not help your customers? you have always championed open platforms in the past. They will get revenues on multiple streams if given a choice. It feels like you know EGS is lacking?

      I understand. I’d rather have one single game library and movie library too. Hopefully some day all of these stores, including ours, will be replaced with a 100% open digital commerce ecosystem giving developers an even better deal than 88%. Till then, we need competition!

      Competition in Tims' eyes is for developers only not customers. Which given his position I guess I can see why he thinks that way. But he wont comment on what the store is lacking nor will he say anything about letting it speak for itself.

      The Epic Games store has a small feature set because we chose to launch it as soon as we had the core feature set up and running, rather than waiting. See https://trello.com/b/GXLc34hk/epic-games-store-roadmap … for our future roadmap!

          As to a store competing on features alone, we believe that wouldn’t be enough to gain traction. Steam has plenty of features, perhaps in some areas too many, and we believe gamers come to a store for particular games rather than for store features.

          I think this is where you have big misunderstanding. Gamers aren't interested using storefront if it doesn't have enough features. Epic store was/is missing basic ones like cloud saves and basic search functions. People want more than games. Exclusives just make people angry.
