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?

Lol, no one is listing steam features. Epic is perfectly capable of being pieces of shit and a garbage company without needing comparison.

EGS is today as old as steam was in 2010. Yet it is still behind 2010 steam's features. All that on top of all the unethical and shady stuff they have done and the many different ways they make gaming worse for everyone.

Their Guides feature didn't come out until 2012sh, same with workshop. The only thing Steam had in 2010 that Epic doesn't have right now is Community, which launched around 2007sh.

Like I said, Steam was not that good for a long time.
