They're adding it but I don't believe they will allow you to use picture of girl's behind

I thought we are comparing game launchers. It’s not a social media platform

Steam is a solid launcher/store, an immense social platform and has a modding workshop. Epic is a mediocre launcher

You right. But a picture is easily identifiable in my friends list vs having to read everyone's name. As someone who never games solo it's quicker and easier than reading every name and every game

Their major competitor has profile pictures while being a game launcher, it absolutely is a fair question.

Epic is a video game launcher. Steam is a gaming platform. So yes, one of them has social features.

You don't need a game launcher to launch games. The point of a game launcher are the extra features like profiles and achievments.
