Well, it seems they’re important to you so I’m pointing out the hypocrisy that’s all 🤷 You buy from Steam because of the features, say pirating is better than buying from Epic because of the lack of features, I point out the features they have that you don’t get from pirating and now you’re still being disingenuous, so that conversation can end.

lol you mean your hypocrisy? You said features don’t matter. “All Epic needs to do is launch the game, that’s good enough!” But now you are saying features do matter. Which is it? Taking this new stance to it’s logical conclusion, Steam would obviously be the superior choice, would it not? Steam has more features than Epic, right?

Pirated games have features that Epic games don’t by the way, namely the fact that you own the game and you are not limited by DRM. In my personal opinion that is worth way more than EGS achievements which are completely useless on a store with no social features anyway.

Me: All I care about is that it launches games

You: If that’s all I wanted (implying that you want more) I would just pirate the games because Epic doesn’t offer a product that’s better than pirating

Me: Well, Epic actually offers more than pirating games does if your care about that

You: Oh now you care about the extra features!

No, I’m trying to show you that their product meets your demands, that’s how arguments work.

They proportionally have more DRM free games than Steam too…

Then there is zero reason for you to buy games from Epic. That is a function that can be performed for free. It’s like paying for air or sunshine. What kind of idiot pays money for something they can get for free?

You just seem to be completely ignoring the fact that I’ve already addressed all the features you brought up and most of them are pretty useless or are available to pirated games anyway. Certainly they are not worth actually spending money on when GoG and Steam do all those things and much more. Even if you had cash to spare and you just wanted those features with minimal hassle, there is still zero reason to buy from Epic.

jfc I’ve never seen someone defend so vehemently a product not having features. Epic is a multibillion dollar corporation with apparently thousands of employees, they don’t need you to bootlick for them.

And by the way, no one believes for a sec that you send a single cent to devs whose games you pirate and no, pirating a game doesn’t legally make you an owner of said game.

I don’t pirate games, I buy them from Steam or GoG like everyone else because I’m not an idiot. I have absolutely zero incentive to buy from a platform with no useful features.
