      You're salty. After millions of dollar wasted on exclusivity deals, free games they got "amazing" 17%. EGS burns millions from Fortnite profit, no data shoving EGS is beeing a success, PC games fell by a huge amount.

      No bigger game is announced as EGS exclusive in 2020, simple features like wishlist , shopping card etc. isn't implemented after year. Sure that's really "amazing".

      Super data reported that Epic reached 17% of PC users in our first full year, versus Steam reaching 37% in year 16 years or so. Not a bad start IMO!

      Reaching 17% of PC users because they wanted those exclusive games. Uncertain if those 17% will stick around without client features though.

      Doesn't Epic have the will and money to hire enough software engineers to crush a company (Valve) that is widely known for being extremely slow?

      Epic and Valve both face the same general limitation, that we maintain very high quality development teams and can’t hire great engineers fast enough to meet all of our wishes.

      The shopping cart has become a meme, but I would love to hear more from Tim on this issue. Is it hard to program such a "simple" feature? Why is it long term?

      We don’t have a shopping cart yet because there are a number of other online systems that are more important to finish because partner game launches rely on them. Look at Dauntless for example (third party game with full cross platform support powered by Epic services.)

      If we had one more engineer on the team with the skills to build a complete shopping cart (supporting coupons and regional pricing and discounts and other custom Epic features) we’d still want them to work on the more essential and time-critical features.

      In a more hierarchical company, you might have a dedicated engineer responsible for just that one task, but such a team would move more slowly and be less able to react to opportunities because of the inflexibility.

          The issue really stems from you folks jumping the shark. The store shouldn't have been announced or launched until... Around *now* probably. It'd clear that the lack of solid backend automation has made things a HUGE hassle for you all with the amount of extra manual work. :/

          I digress, I do really despise the way you've all gone about this all, but I do wish ya' the best of luck! Making a solid backend for a store isn't as easy as one might think; giving devs a dev-portal akin to SteamWorks is hard but totally worth it. GLHF

          Wait. Hold up. Are you guys seriously still don't have a shopping cart? Something the most threadbare online stores would be embarrassed not to have? Jesus, this is pathetic. :D
