Ahri wroteTaigaAisaka wroteGary wrote The PC Gaming show is usually lackluster every year. Can't say I have much hope for the show this year unless GabeN shows up and reveals Portal 3. 100% agree. I've used their platform before, and yeah, it is rather luck luster in terms of things I feel that matters, security (literally a huge issue right now, Reddit has way too many posts with regards to it,) reviews and across the board regional pricing (think they're working on it now) being the biggest one, dedicated forums for a game/community hub for a game and a messenger that doesn't require you to be in game. I don't think Epic Games as a whole should just up and vanish, Steam does need a little push to get things working because there's a lot Steam gets right, but there's still plenty of stuff that needs to improved on. The problem I have with Epic, specifically Tim Sweeny, is he is a huge hypocrite and constantly goes back on his word, plus the whole throwing money for an exclusive deal for Metro Exodus that was already going to be on Steam then is pulled nearing it's launch, Randy Pitchford over at Gearbox is being smuggy as usual, with Tim just stroking his ego to the ass kissing by Randy and Tim constantly says "this is the last exclusive" and then comes right on in with a new one - when he used to criticise Microsoft for doing exclusive deals over on Xbox back in the day. For that reason, I am really going to try and avoid any of the PC Gaming Show booths when I go to E3 because I already know it's going be annoying and just so dysfunctional with people who have legitimate concerns/debates, vs trolls who just want to ruin the whole thing. I'm hoping the live stream fairs well, but not a single person should be surprised if that livestream is the most spiteful one yet. |

Epic VA Steam seems to be in the light a lot lately. Them going back and fourth. Trying to out do each other. I agree with you they could use some small improvements. Especially, if they want to out do Steam and be in the number one spot. At the end of the day they could have done worse. |

TTG wroteAnime wroteAhri wroteTaigaAisaka wroteGary wrote The PC Gaming show is usually lackluster every year. Can't say I have much hope for the show this year unless GabeN shows up and reveals Portal 3. It's mostly in the light because of the controversy about Epic pretty much buying games to be on their platform first, with Steam's rather lackluster response. There is no denying that before this started happening, Steam v Epic wasn't even a thinking platform because Epic really wouldn't have any footing to compete with Steam on their storefront, if it was just no exclusives -- simply because Epic is so far behind Steam in terms of features/functions. Now it's come to light because games are being bought as timed exclusives or just flat out exclusives in some cases, the biggest one that lit the fire was Metro Exodus because that was pre-order on Steam forever, and I think a few weeks before launch, it was pulled from Steam and thrown onto the Epic Games store, which is what really set people off and everything else that has followed has just been another topic of discussion against Epic. I believe competition is good, it makes the opposing company have to step up to release a better product, but as it is right now, if Epic had the money to do so, it looks like they would buy every game as an exclusive to completely try and shut Steam down and with how shady Tim Sweeny has been - going back on his word with things - I wouldn't doubt if he would just prefer/want Epic as the monopoly for PC gaming and make Steam irrelevant. |

Can't say I have much hope for the show this year unless GabeN shows up and reveals Portal 3. To my knowledge, yes. You can launch them through Steam or your desktop, but I think it'll just have you sign in like you would if you did the same for Battlefield over on Origin. The only exception would be games that were pirated. Metro Exodus and now apparently Borderlands 3 are offline mode, which means once someone cracks the game, it'll open just through the application without needing the EGS. |

Can't say I have much hope for the show this year unless GabeN shows up and reveals Portal 3. Epic in all honesty probably doesn't really 'need' more people exposed to the launcher, considering how massive Fortnite is/was, they probably still have a bunch of people who have/had the launcher, who will come back or simply load it back up again. I think the whole needing to launch through the EGS is to minimise people from cheating in games (single player games really shouldn't matter, but meh) and just me over assuming, so they can inflate their numbers for how many users are using the EGS to try and "prove" that their storefront isn't inferior to Steam or something and that their numbers are doing well. |

I prefer steam though over Epic for all the features and game prices. I think steam and epic will continue to go at it. |
