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?

Not to diss you, or take away from your argument, it's quite a good one.

But I do think EGS has reviews now. They suck but I they have some sort of review system now.

I couldn't find reviews. What I did find was a 5 star based rating system which is not the same thing at all. With steam reviews the text is more relevant to me than if they did or did not recommend the game.

If you scroll below the stars, it has corporate reviews provided by opencritic. Which is what i confused with real reviews.

Honestly, the stars are better than ign and other craptastic critics.
