Yes, some good points made by those who are not gung ho for Epic store. Games offered on Epic should be at least 20% cheaper - consistently - than those offered on steam. Why are most developers asking for the same price as what steam charges when they are getting a much larger cut. Talk about being greedy. They should pass on the savings to their customers.
If Epic store really wants me and others to install their game store, here are some things they could do:
1. Pay me to install their game store. If they said I can pick and get free games from not only their crappy and severely limited selection, but also games on steam.
For example, I agree to install Epic games store and buy one game there at full price in a year. In return, I get to pick 3 full priced games on steam, and Epic will pay for them as a courtesy on the steam store. This is Epic giving me an incentive to install their game store.
2. Make their exclusives "permanent". I hate to tip off the Epic store, but they don't understand some gamers are not only wise but also patient, like me. Why would I buy a game brand new at Epic store at full price when I can wait a year and get it on steam for a substantial discount.
Therefore, exclusive games offered on Epic games should be made "exclusive"
permanently. This means, no games offered on Epic will become available later on steam. Epic is trying to have their cake and eat it, and they are not being hard core enough about it. Quite frankly, if they are going to try and force gamers onto their store, they might as well go whole hog - and just go for it.
Hell, I could go even farther, and say that Epic games store should demand any gamers who want to use their game store stop using steam altogether, but I get that maybe this is going too far and seems rather extreme.
