Steam, the PC Gaming Launcher developed by Valve, is seen as the go-to store for your computer games. However, Epic Games, while having a lot of enticing features, is seen as a terrible platform. What are Epic Games’ shortcomings, and can Epic ever be better than Steam?

PC Gamers be complaining about having multiple free launchers on their hard drive while console gamers be spending 500 bucks every 7 years to keep up with the newest games
Why would you even buy a console, especially a switch, am I right?
@@a.q.2330 You're tripping, Switch games are elite
@@ninkid561 just pirate the games and play them on superior hardware then. Why limit yourself to an outdated system like the switch?
@@a.q.2330Because it takes too much work to pirate games and you can't play them online.
@@a.q.2330cuz its portable, duh…
"astronomically juicy" is an anjective I intend to use every single day from now on
to be honest, i just like steam for the modding workshop page because all the game i played have mod support page from steam. If somehow Epic also include mod support page it will be a win, since steam haven't update the community page in centuries.
well it dose but much more rare + workshop mods won't be mass added
You say that is steam needed some honest competition so they can improve, but what realistically can they even improve upon? Any tweaks they may have from now on are probably gonna be very minor and not woth it imo
Valve can be a greedy sack of a corporation if they want to be as well. Their two most popular games, Counter-Strike 2 and Team Fortress 2, have poor reputations for scammers and whatnot. However, Steam disregards the corruption happening on their systems and on their games, leading to a lot of fans feeling neglected. That’s why #fixtf2 is tending right now. That’s only one example, I’m sure there are plenty of others
Aw man. Welp… corporations gotta corporation I guess
Able to change your login name would be huge ngl saddly i cant never see this happen
@@Bagubuns pretty crazy but they actually took action on the bots
@@Wiksila-co1fg or have a pfp or idk any social features or being able to APPEAR OFFLINE even battle net gives me that
I actually didn’t know epic does not have drm. That’s kind of a significant piece of information they really should advertise that a lot better
10:36 As a Brazilian, I can assure you this is an actual laugh. It is used and well accepted by everyone in almost any environment.
Not sure why we chose that, but laughing with hahaha is normie and rarrarrarra is painful to type.
It's also extendable (like "kkkkkkkkkk" to your heart's content) and you can also use kakaka if you prefer.
i use it but they annoyed me and so out of spite I refuse to buy anything from the store after the first 2 games I bought they are super anti consumer I'm a consumer so ill stick to other platforms [I do still use it for fortnite but that's different I'm not using EGS for buying ill still buy from fortnite tho]
i love the epic game store, mainly cause there are ACTUAL GOOD FREE GAMES there, and cause of the constant deals all the time (free ddlc+ deal my beloved), only thing i hate is the slower loading time
Yeah EGS is SLOWWWWW
Epic Games? More like....
Actually I only commented on the video just to promote viewer engagement. Let's get this channel to a 100K subs!
And explain to me how Epic exclusives is an absolute win?
Even if you’re personally annoyed at it (I understand, don’t worry) it’s undeniably better for the game studios that make these games, and you’re gonna get a better experience playing it when it comes out of the timed exclusivity chamber. As explained by PirateSoftware, a fellow content creator, Blizzard ex-employee, and developer of the indie game Heartbound, timed exclusivity gives the studio time and money to make the game better before it hits other platforms. Think of it as early access. If the exclusive game is good on Epic, then it will be top condition when it hits Steam. If it sucks on Epic, then who cares? It’s much more productive than having corporations release broken buggy games everywhere on launch. All I’m saying is that it’s a valuable asset for Epic Games. You may even recall how later in the video I also briefly explained how exclusivity works against them.
Sorry, but I just don't want to support Tim Sweeney and anything to keep the EGS alive, if I want free game I still don't want to poke their shitty platform for it
And EGS lose money every second it exist, they are not even a competition since they doesn't even try to compete at all, if they do, their store wouldn't be that dogwater or making shady shit like Exclusivity deal
nice channel
Sorry, you lost me at "exclusivity is a good thing"

Of course, if I “lost you” there then you obviously didn’t stick around to hear my whole opinion, so maybe not.
@@Bagubuns
Is exclusivity better for developers in every single case? What if the cash from Epic is not enough and no one buys your game after it releases on Steam? The only possible benefit, as you said, is developers releasing buggy games on the EGS to basically test it and fix it before the exclusivity contract runs out. I say possible because the game might not even need this (although that is quite rare these says). Otherwise exclusivity is anti-customer. PC is supposed to be a free market, not restricted like consoles are.
No, exclusivity isn't the best option in every single case. That's why exclusivity is purely an offer. If a developer or studio is smart, they can negotiate whichever deals suits them best. Also, I don't necessarily agree with the anti-consumerist argument when it comes to PC timed exclusives since a lot of the limiting factors that consoles have are irrelevant. You don't need to buy an expensive piece of hardware to run EGS, you just need some space in your hard drive. If you don't want to do that, just wait because the consumer will eventually have the option to have it on the platform of their choice. Is it inconvenient? Sure, but hardly "anti-consumer." It's a short-term business decision, not a human rights violation.
@@Bagubuns the slippery slope of "it's fine to be forced to use another launcher, it's fine for games to cost 20 bucks more, it's fine not to own games, these are just business decisions". Time isn't an unlimited resource either. I guess if a studio makes profit just from EGS and their contract they don't have to worry about the sales on Steam, but that hasn't always happened. Yeah I'm not changing my mind on this one. I don't need free games either, if I really wanted a game but was unable to buy it I could just pirate it.
@@a.q.2330 If piracy is a valid option for you then why are you even having this debate?
frfr
And in steam if you play on offline (no internet) its basically warns that it will not update the cloud save automatically, you don't lose anything.
I used that to illustrate what happens when the service goes down since Steam wasn’t undergoing maintenance at that specific time. If Steam itself goes down for extended periods of time, or even forever (which is improbable but not impossible), then your games are as good as unplayable.
@@Bagubuns gabe said that they have a "big red button" to turn off DRM in the case of steam ever going down
Which game i cant play on steam if i have it downloaded and Steam is offline?
I'm a bit salty because I pretty much got Epic Games Store just for the then-exclusive Square-Enix games, only for them to all be dumped onto Steam a couple years later. At least I got a couple games for free on it.
Switched from console to pc this year. I've been using epic more than steam. The reward system is nice too. For me the only drawback of epic is not having all the games available in store.
epic allows crypto scam games onto their service? i dont think ill be using it.
Nobody ever said that. So this is unnecessary lmao
You’d be surprised to hear that this is quite a common sentiment. No other launcher (that I know of) has a subreddit dedicated to hating them. In fact the subreddit in question swears off the use of Epic Games entirely, and all their “criticism” comes from outside news and sources. In reality, Epic is far from the worst compared to EA or Ubisoft’s services, but Epic’s worst features rank them (quality-wise) below the others.
@@Bagubuns i can appear offline and message someone over ubisoft connect and EA app I cannot do that with epic legit epic has NO features they only care about appeasing the devs and publishers while they just try to bribe consumers I can also appear offline on GOG EA app I can have a PFP cant on epic can on ubisoft cant on epic I can do all that on battle net cant on epic It took them YEARS to add a CART of all things dude the store sucks i use it but its BAD it also doesn't even let u divide up a game before u install it on steam if i wanna download a MASSIVE game like ARK i can select what parts i wanna download same with COD and only download those before i do it on epic i have to download it then only AFTER i can prune it this lack of polish and lack of reviews shows epics hand they are not really better epic game store is about as good as EA app or Ubisoft connect but at least those ONLY sell 1st party games and don't buy out other 3rd party titles to try and force peoples hands your coping like REALLY HARD epic store is so bad that even barebone launchers like RSI for star citizen and battle state games for tarcov almost are better and those are not even stores those are launchers for a SINGLE GAME epic is just on a whole other level of bad the only other apps that have less that I can think of is itch io app that is in reality just a web app it legit is just a website and its itch io common it doesn't have fortnite money and amazon game thingy and like that thing is expected trash xbos gamestore is fine the Microsoft store isn't but like common only epic is out here stealing exclusives from people that has INCLUDED Kickstarter funded games that promised backers a steam key only to be forced to get it on epic games not cool I don't know why u support this nonsense
