What part of epic was supposed to entice me to spend money there?

If it’s from a community on Reddit it isn’t news.

I have a library of over 500 games from the Epic Games store.
I have never and will never spend a single cent on their store. There’s literally no point.
Steam has better service. Games download and install quicker. Steam has better return policies, better account recovery options, and family sharing.
And from history, the Epic store exists because they didn’t want to pay for Steam’s fees. But their fees for publishers are lower… By ~3%. That doesn’t matter to a consumer. What matters to the consumer is, you tried to fracture PC stores further for a few percentage points… No thanks. I’ll stick to what has worked for 22 years.
But thanks for the weekly games.

Came for the free games stayed for the… default dance?
Epic’s whole plan was to gain a better margin on micro transaction. I doubt that’s been enough to cover the expenses of attracting customers to their storefront

Did people actually play them tho?
Like I always used to claim them until 3 years back when I went „I don’t even play it if it’s on epic games, why should I continue claiming it?“ and no longer claimed anything, also just uninstalled it
Genuinely nothing changed aside from some minor quality of life of not having open epic games once a week

All the free games I had on epic. I bought on steam so I didnt have to use epic. They were dirt cheap from the steam sales.

A pretty dumb source, but it boggles me that anyone can look at a good product, with good features, with good prices, and good services and then wonder what makes it so successful and that they could do a better job. I’m sure they could, but then they don’t. The roadmap is right there!
