Epic Games Store: hundreds of millions of dollars in losses per year

But they aren't taking Steam down. They are just throwing away profits with free games and the occasional exclusive.



I remember as well but the thing is that Valve was breaking new ground with Steam. Epic doesn't have to do that. They already have a blueprint with Steam. Just need to copy that.

Well Epic is Steams biggest threat yet, as long as Epic keeps selling the games cheaper, alot of people will buy them here instead, I know I will.

Steam is cluttered, too much crap everywhere. Epic is minimalistic and clean, I like that. I use both and will continue to use both.

The Microsoft Store is the worst by far.

That is why I don't take this shop very seriously to order in move there. Just adding FREEware.

STEAM is my current account & now even all other shops came back to STEAM. It is not my favorite, but it will do.

Microsoft Store is getting revamped.
Origin is going away in favor of EA Desktop.
The weakest point of Ubisoft Connect is IMO the store pages that are slow and error-prone (which is surprising given that is where we should be spending money at).

Anyhow, most platforms are going somewhat surprisingly to similar direction in terms of how the platform works and looks like. Steam is an outlier there (and not necessarily a good one).
