Yeah it felt like they literally marketed themselves as exclusively pro developers while having nothing for the consumer, which I’ve always thought was a really fuckin weird stance to take if you want to compete with Steam.
Meanwhile if you’re part of Steam’s partner program you know that Valve are constantly improving things on the backend for devs and publishers. Just about the only “developer-friendly” thing Epic does that Steam doesn’t do better is asking for a smaller cut.
Yup, there’s a reason so many developers are willing to go to Steam despite them taking a larger cut. It was so weird that Epic seemed to market to consumers about how it was so much better for developers while they did nothing to actually make their platform desirable for either.
The only written reviews it shows are industry ones from OpenCritic.
It shows a user rating out of 5 stars but no idea how that is derived.
It’s just perfectly anti-customer.
