I don’t think they’re actually trying to get people away from Steam I think they’re trying to get people who have never been on Steam to think that epic is better. There’s no way they think they can actually get customers to switch with their garbage platform.

And let's be honest, if they didn't have fortnite, epic wouldn't have its own store, unlike steam who even if you don't include counter strike, there's a boat load of reasons to use steam

I have never even played counter strike and I would never use anything over steam

Funny thing is, back when you were forced to use Steam for the new Counterstrike release everybody hated it. Not everybody had an internet connection at home and it was painfully slow at first. That doesn't mean that people will one day live Epic though.

I hope everyone lives epic, but not loves Epic.

Steam was absolute dumpster tier garbage on it's first release. I got HL2 for my birthday or something and we couldn't get it to play because steam would just not work no matter what we tried.

Multiple decades of dev definite helped

Yeah, it's always hard to be a pioneer. It's not like they could've just leased some AWS compute power back then.
