If you're competing against steam, you need to make your experience as good or better than steam.
From what people tell me, because I don't have it myself, the epic game store is really rough around the edges not a fun experience.
It still has no review system.
They still have no Linux version.
They still have many bugs in the store.
It... its a mess
Jesus, how can you run a digital storefront in this day and age and not let people post reviews? I read a bunch of those on steam before I buy most of my games.
It took them years to implement a shopping cart. A basic feature that literally every online shop has had since forever.
They are not good at e-commerce.

This is very common among big tech companies and we should start treating it as what it is, a scam.
A scam for whom? My epic library is full of games that they literally gave away for free. I didn't pay for any of them. Hard to see how I'm being scammed. I'm not surprised that it's a shitty business model though, and I suppose their investors could argue they're being scammed.

I don't know why. I own about 80 games from Epic. I didn't pay a dime tough.
Oh wow I thought I was the only one.
Good reason to shut it down then. No one needs their crap anyway.
That's what you get for bringing platform game exclusivity to the PC, trash!
Wait..they sell games, too?
Is it "selling" if nobody's buying?
I just bought the only game I'll likely ever buy on EGS. It was Alan Wake 2. Being published by Epic, it will unlikely ever be anywhere else until EGS shuts down.
My justifications are as follows: I love the developer and want to support them.
That's it. The experience was.. fine, but far from streamlined. The Epic achievement system is terrible. Imagine walking around in a horror game, immersed in the atmosphere, then a loud cheery mobile app chime blaps through your headphones and a giant banner splatters across the top of your screen announcing your achievement totally jarring you out of the atmosphere.
Then, imagine you find out you can turn on a 'do not disturb' mode by pressing shift+f3, then imagine you need to turn it on every time you launch the game. That's the Epic Games Store experience in a nutshell.
Lol, this is something they could have done before the layoff.(no seriously, how hard it is to just disable any notification with a preference?)
HA HA! L tbh. They don't even have good regional pricing unlike Steam.
Isn't it just first steps of enshittification? Hardly anything shocking.
