Certainly easier said than done when it comes to Steam, given how much of a head start they have and the resources available to them to compete with any serious attempt, but it feels impossible to Tim because he spent all of Epic’s time and money whining, litigating, and giving out free games instead of making the EGS better for consumers.
Coming up on 8 years since its initial launch and they’re only now adding “advanced digital commerce technology” like a shopping cart. All bluster no substance.
Exactly, this very much gives off “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!” vibe.
Not saying I have a clue what they could do to disrupt steams monopoly, but id gather one of the suits that Epic pays 7 figures to probably should get on that.
All they have to do is try to make something actually focused on customers, rather than focused on extracting wealth from people. Honestly, at this point, I think not sucking would be more than enough to get a foot in the door and suck up all the people who hate Steam for some reason
