New strategy: let’s troll Epic and their partners, then criticize them for replying.

How about Epic adopts a new strategy and improves their launcher and stops pissing off PC gamers every chance they can get by screwing them over. But we all know that won't happen.

We’re working on lots of new features. Things like cloud saves have taken longer than we expected because so much effort has gone into infrastructure ahead of visible storefront features.

Have you reconsidered game specific forums? It's one of the best Steam features being able to find other players to play with, get help or talk about the game in a couple of clicks (Without even tabbing out of the game if using overlay) better than going to multiple sites on web

And having to sign up / log in to all those places, makes finding other players harder to.

We're reluctant to get into the business of operating PC gaming forums, because so many games are multi-platform now and it's beneficial for communities to transcend platform boundaries. For example, the Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit covers all 7 platforms.

We’ll be working with developers to surface links to Reddit or developer owned forums on Epic Games store pages.

"dev owned forums on EGS"? SO a built in forum page for the game on your client then?.

Absolutely. Forums are great resources for gamers and developers. Epic’s all for this means of expression; we just don’t think it’s helpful for us to operate centralized Epic Games store forums, when PC is a many-store platform, and most games are multi-platform experiences.

For example, we wouldn’t want to divide a multi-store PC game’s community by store, or divide a multi-platform PC exclusive’s community by platform. The community for a game should stay together, regardless of where people bought it.

The wrinkle is that Steam bundles a community ecosystem together with a storefront and 30% tax. So Epic’s robust competition for developers and publishers with 12% and exclusives can be misread as an attack on the Steam community, though we’re only contesting for the storefront.
