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?

I find EGS launcher to be incredibly slow, so I don't even bother claiming their free games using it. I use the browser instead. The annoying part is EGS launcher will prompt my 2FA if I don't open it at least monthly, which is also too much of a bother.
