Which is admirable. However, that has absolutely nothing to do with platforms. EGS has actively sought to divide PC platforms instead of bring them together and divided consumers. It's what one might consider a "consumer adversarial" strategy. Publishers have been happy, though!

There's still no shopping cart... Maybe you should work on the store instead of the exclusives

This entire thread is the reason why I don’t support Epic.

1. Fair point, I respect the free games approach, genuinely a good move to get people to your storefront. 2. Buying exclusivity is only souring people on EGS as a whole. It goes against why PC gaming is so successful. 3. Like #1, also good, sales are great.

4. That's one game, so... 5. EGS has been out for over a year. It's still missing lots of very basic features. "Over time" has been said for a while now.

But Tim, why isn't EGS feature-competitive with the 17 year-old Steam platform??? /sarcasm Thanks for the free games, sure, but more so, thanks for providing meaningful competitive pressure in a stagnant marketplace.
-
Yeah, why isn't the 1.5+ year old launcher made by a software company that's way bigger than Valve not even remotely feature competitive to any other launcher on the market? Must be really hard to add achievements or a shopping cart. Or Epic isn't confident in their own product

Paying devs/publishers to keep their games off of other much more feature-complete and much more useful, better stores/launchers like Steam and Gog is actually a FEATURE of the Epic Games Launcher, guys!

Out of these responses the only ones that are actually compelling ppl to want to use your store are free games and sales. Both are great for consumers. The other stuff is well if you want access to these games you must use our service. That's not compelling

But you also started out by saying big sales with deep discounts is just devaluing games with a race to the bottom, so which is it? :p I'd personally say "Fortnite" is the saddest damn thing you could list as a bullet-point for a launcher, to be honest.

Pretty sure that's what EA said when launching Origin
