Desperate to fight Steam, Epic burns money like firewood – but admits the Epic Games Store kind of sucks and "there's still a ton of work to be done" with "long overdue features" (www.gamesradar.com)

I like the idea of competition, but there is no excuse for the Epic Game Store being so awful. It could have been rebuilt from the ground up many times over in the years since it launched. It’s abundantly clear that Sweeney has no intention of improving it or giving consumers the features they actually want.

How hard is it to simply show a rough estimate of how much storage space a game will need before downloading? I'm not talking groundbreaking stuff here...

Clearly you ask for too much.

Can you imagine if the CEO actually cared? Like if they opened up the store and went

SWEET JESUS FUCKING MONKEYCUNTING CHRIST THIS IS HOT GARBAGE WHO DID THIS

They'd fix it in a week.

But, likely, since it's been, like... What... 6.5 years ago? Yeah. The CEO either likes it or doesn't realize how bad it is that the only thing most people interact with is so bad that it's insulting. And that isn't even hyperbole, it is actually disrespectful that they expect consumers AND PROFESSIONALS to be okay with that.

Edit: steam competes with free and wins - epic competes with free and loses.
