If epic wanted to compete "from a consumer's point of view" they would make a better product than steam, but their store is still missing features

Reminder that it took them 2 fucking years to implement a shopping cart

I mean this isn't ideal, but you can understand why they might make that a lower priority. Probably 90% of my gaming purchases are for 1 item.

And I find it hard to believe that you anti Epic people are arguing in good faith when your first complaint is that you can't more easily buy multiple games on a platform you seem to dislike so much.

We're talking about a company that was raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from Fortnite, and buying exclusivity deals for tens of millions of dollars, being unwilling to implement a store feature that would take any half-decent developer a single day to implement.

We bring up this argument because it perfectly highlights how little Epic cares about creating a service that can compete with Steam based on quality. They'd rather ignore the basic functions for years and instead spend orders of magnitude more money on anti-competitive practices like exclusives.

you anti Epic people

And this tells me that also aren't willing to argue in good faith. You're disregarding my argument simply because I hate Tim Sweeney and Epic
