I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it's the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

People are going to list all the features Steam has over Epic, ignoring that Steam has had ~22 years to get to where it is.

And then there are people talking about how steam has had those 22 years, while completely ignoring how epic could just copy how steam did things and work from there.

Sure, they can't see what happens in the back end, but I somehow doubt that valve is doing anything ground breaking there that others can't think of.
