The only reason I even log into it is for the free games they give out every few days. I have an entire library of free games thanks to them, but I've never once purchased anything from their store. The launcher is slow and awful.

No. Which is why they bribe developers and publishers to make their games exclusive.

The biggest irony of all is that the more free AAA titles they give away, the less likely I want to ever buy anything from them.

EA is literally my least-favorite game publisher by miles, and I'd rather use Origin than the Epic Game Store.

I just don't get why Epic's launcher/store is so bad. Like there are plenty of working examples of what people like/expect, how do you not just copy them?

It's pretty bad. I literally have to launch the Epic Games launcher through Steam for my controller to work.

GTAV and Civ 6 last month, otherwise a lot of indie trash (right now is Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet, and The Escapist 2 with Torthlight II being added tomorrow when the games cycle over). They they had the best sale this year with the $10 voucher on any game over $15. And they didn't even need to gamify their sale to exploit obsessive compulsive people into spending more money like good guys valve.

as long as you have 2fa (which you should have for steam too), it does everything a launcher needs to do. Lightweight, keeps games updated, the end. In fact it's currently eating about 200mb less than steam is and ~120 less than gog galaxy

I don't want Epic to steal any of my info and send it to China, so I avoid downloading the launcher all together.

valve already gave it to them

I get why Epic, EA, Blizzard, etc. are all pissed off seeing Valve reap the profits of being the de facto PC game store but that kind of sucks for them. Valve did it first and built a platform that was far and away ahead of the competition in for years. Trying to partition everyone away into a hundred separate game clients is just needlessly annoying for all consumers.

Would you rather have a single organization combine all the Game Launchers into one behemoth?

Or do you like the competition between Game Launchers/Stores?

PC gamers: console wars are so childish. You idiots can bicker while we have the superior platform

Also PC gamers: Throw complete tantrums if they have to click a different program to launch a game.
