It's a huge dealbreaker for me, I only use linux.Īs a consumer I don't really care about developer's publisher's cut. That's not a huge dealbreaker for me, I triple-boot anyway and I still mostly game on Windows. You'd understand more if you knew more about Epic-the-company, they've long been slow on development (though that was primarily on engine work in the past, rather than a store). They have already missed deadlines on their roadmap and fixed that by removing dealines. It doesn't look like they want to improve their platform. I don't understand how did Epic release their platform in such state in late 2018. Hopefully I have explained my thoughts on it. (however I do like itch.io model unlike EGS) I don't use itch.io either, but has sent an initial implementation and now we are working on itch.io integration in #65. Where did I say that? I said I don't want to implement it myself since I don't use EGS, don't like it and wouldn't be able to test integration. On the other hand EGS doesn't look any more appealing compared to torrent. In a last few years Steam and GOG did fully convert me from being a pirate into a paying customer. I'm sure I probably won't play even half of my games in my lifetime.
#Epic games launcher not working 2019 free#
I don't care about their free games, I have large enough libraries on Steam and GOG. I also wouldn't mind if their own games were EGS exclusives, like Valve own games are Steam exclusives and EA games are Origin exclusives.īut I care when game that was marketed on Steam, that was available for preorders on Steam or that I have wishlisted on Steam suddenly moves to EGS.Īnd after all of that I don't have any reason to even try EGS. I wouldn't mind if they would fund exclusive game development like Sony does. However I care about platform features and I can see where most of 30% Valve gets are spent.

I like Valve hardware and probably would've already upgraded to Valve Index if it was sold here.

I care about SteamInput and SteamVR because I have a Steam Controller and HTC Vive.(I've heard they may have implemented cloud saves for some games but I'm not sure)

Their launcher doesn't have most features I care about in Steam.įor example (without a particular order): Linux support, community, achievements, controller support, VR, Workshop, cloud saves, etc.I don't like EGS and don't use it for multiple reasons: Be up to explaining why they dislike Epic
