I can see the need, however Epic exposed their far more anti-consumer bent when they poached presales and fucked consumers when they launched their store front.
Yes, I think my comment was a little misunderstood. I mean, in the sense that Epic is trying to create competition against Steam, Epic needs not only to evolve the product, but also to build a base with the community that Steam already has today. As mentioned in another comment, Epic doing this now seems more like they're spitting in the wind. In short, Steam itself doesn't seem to need competition, as they already do what they do very well and have community support. Epic, on the other hand, seems to be creating counter-competition, leading even more consumers to see value in Steam
This community will never change, just look at this comment span. You can’t change an embedded community over. If they made a community section exactly like Steam this post would be full of ridicule they even tried. Free games and being far cheaper for devs doesn’t move the needle for this community.
