    Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.

    Everyone thinking they care about creators or customers is a fucking moron.

      Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.

      while at the same time providing worse service.
      Ever noticed the difference between Epic checkout vs Steam checkout? And that is the part one would want to make the best, because that’s what gets the money in.

      Are they close to feature parity with Steam yet? Like after a quick search of it looks like they added cloud saves but that took years.

        Not even close. Plus, it’s not just about feature parity. It’s also about ease of use. EGS is still shit as of 2 months ago.

          While EGS increases its minimum Windows # requirements, Steam client is already available on Linux.
          Although I would prefer being able to build it myself rather than keeping it in Firejail
