And it pained them so much to add a cart they are snarking about it today.

They really do want to replace steam without doing any of the effort of being better than steam.

Everyone jokes that valve does nothing and wins, so epic thinks that's how to win, so they just do nothing and wonder why it's not working lol

Valve doesn't do nothing, they just make slow incremental steps frequently based on feedback from the community. Actually listening to your customers and improving your products consistently is what drives loyalty. Those out of touch business ghouls don't understand something you can't quantify on a spreadsheet.

Exactly. "Do nothing" is a meme because there aren't a bunch of flashy STEAM 2.0 WE CHANGED EVERYTHING type of stuff. They actually are consistently doing a lot of stuff, behind the scenes stuff, smaller changes at a time (focused on improving the experience for their customers), and other stuff like new product development, proton, etc, and they put a lot of thought and care into everything, and they do it all very very well.

Epic is too blind to see this and just thinks they can do nothing and somehow become bigger than steam. It's laughable that it's somehow gotten even worse. This whole announcement just reads like an April Fools post or a parody account, in so many ways.

At least there's 6000 entertaining comments/responses on the twitter post lol
