      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.

      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.

      Epic’s “attack on PC gaming in general” consists of making certain games available for purchase by clicking on one icon instead of the other, and paying the developer or publisher of the game 18% more than the other icon pays.

          "Epic’s “attack on PC gaming in general” consists of removing certain games available for purchase by clicking on one icon instead of the other, by paying the developer or publisher of the game huge truckloads of money." Here, fixed that one for you.

          Don't even try to bs us. You are not making available games on your storefront by clicking one icon instead of the other, you are making them available on one storefront AND removing them from others. You could simply offer the same products. But you are not doing that.

          except that said icon has less features, functions and services attached to it in favor of giving more money to developers and publishers while you the consumer pay the same or more... and get less.

          And putting users information at risk, you NEVER address that point about the multiple reports of security breaches per month on the epic store

          Do you guys know what has more features than the epic store, and also has the same icon for us to click to play games that don't want our money? a bittorrent client.

          Nothing wrong with a company trying to make money. That's the point. My problem is the way Epic is doing it. Completely ignoring consumers' needs and trying to grow their platform as fast as possible by buying timed exclusives, even after they're announced for other stores.
