Huh, that was what 5 years ago now? I will remember telling randy he was wrong (in perhaps an alcohol fuelled rant 🤭) only to get swiftly blocked.

Don’t feel too bad. GOG sucks too, it just never had Epic’s enormous pool of Chinese hype money.

Any decent person who would have been “overly optimistic” at the time would have supported epic, and just that. There was no need to go out of his way to trashtalk others like a whiny bitch, especially when at the time said “others” where the place they had a chance to make money before.

Things I need a storefront/launcher to provide me:

  • Reviews
  • Wish list
  • Beta/Alternate build installations
  • Friend list, chat, game invite functions
  • Mod browser
  • Refund policy
  • Excellent search and discovery tools

Nice to have:

  • Forum for guides/support
  • Game sharing
  • Ability to move game files

Two things that would be nice to have is:

  • If Steam’s mod directory didn’t REQUIRE you to buy the game on Steam

  • Shared Games could be played simultaneously

Their store, their policy, their framework, their infrastructure, their rules. Deal wirh it and install mods like any other user does. Manually

As a family…I need the family sharing provided by steam. Especially the recent beta version. It’s fantastic.
