Seems like these are all corner cases, straw men, and not every day things. I actually sort of agree with the sentiment about “what does it matter”. But there is one big thing that you missed: stability and trust. If Epic decides to wrap it up one day, you’re done. Steam is less likely to do that since primary business model and profit generator.
Pick the platform with the best deals, and weigh in the stability/trust argument. For me that means using Epic for free weekly games, and Steam whenever they have sales. Almost never buy any other time unless a large group of friends are starting something. FOMO is real.
If an unreliable login, a bad storefront, tedious store pages, and a less than user-friendly library aren’t enough to call a launcher worse than the competition, what even would qualify them as a bad product?
I mean sure, my PC doesn’t crash nor goes up in flames when I open Epic, but that’s about it.
