Epic couldn’t make a superior product, so instead they bribed lots of game developers to make things Epic exclusive.
On top of that, even after being around for years, the Epic software is missing tons of features that Steam has had for years.
Epic bleeds obscene amounts of money to build a separate set of infrastructure, rather than actually trying to improve things for gamers.
Epic’s ostensibly biggest benefit is that it charges less money per transaction to developers. But Epic has, at this point, given away hundreds of free games, and Steam has so many more people with a long history of buying games. So there’s an argument to be made that Steam is still the better value, because it provides better exposure and a larger paying player base.

Fuck Epic. I just lost the ability to play rocket league because they bought the developers, ripped it off of steam, and now force you to agree to some wickedly invasive TOS to have an epic account.
I never even bothered to make an Epic account to get the free games. I have so many games on Steam and GOG already, and I do most of my gaming with a Steam Link on my TV.
Oh, it’s still hated.

It’s also the reason I have 100s of games on epic and have never spent a dime on epic. When I like a game I by it on steam.
