At the rate Epic Game Store is improving, how long until it surpasses Steam as the store of choice? EGS has improved more in the last 3 months than Steam has in the past 3 years.

list the improvements then
Henry Long
Offered so many based deals that publishers removed their games from the store and OPs pic devs inflated the price of their game
Nicholas Gray
10 years before it's maybe on par with current Steam.
They spent over 2 years to start adding and standardized features all other game launchers already had at launch.
Wyatt Wilson
I hope it gets gabe off his fat ass. Holy fuck I hate valve so much.
David Long
Hades is leaving Epic once it leaves Early Access though.
Eli Hernandez
It wont surpass Steam until it has a fucking shopping cart and proper sales systems
Aiden Rodriguez
desu the "improvements" should have been there from the start.
they still don't have a shopping cart.
they also don't have controller profiles and you can't add games to the launcher.
still miles away.
Jose Peterson
>fucking shopping cart
Steam didn't have a shopping cart for years and years.
It's not really a issue unless you buy tons in one transaction, which people don't generally do outside of sales.
Grayson Flores
They sold games at cost to gain a foothold. I don't even think that's legal in the place I live.
Cooper Edwards
If epic store is soooooooooooooo gud, why doesn't it just buy out Steam, aye??????
Robert Walker
Just wait until the next PC gaming Show
Steam will be finished

>yeah but X didn't have it years ago too!
not a fucking argument

So you are admitting that it is shit? after all, big improvements are only possible if you are awful...
Camden Barnes
>still no shopping cart
>Buying to many games locks your account
>Surpassing steam
kek

>Steam didn't have a shopping cart for years and years.
That's because Steam originally didn't actually launch as a store, just a client for Valve's online.
Once it started selling third party games in ~2005, it had a shopping cart.
Epic has no excuse regardless, even fucking Neill Breen's website has a shopping cart.

Regional pricing also fucked over most western regions when it was introduced on Steam. Of course, now you have super-rich 3rd worlders demanding cheap games because they live in a poor country (even though they have a 1080Ti)
Wyatt Evans
>regional pricing bad
John Morales
That's because it was a client not a store during that time. How does Tim Sweeney's cock taste you utter retard?

>Once it started selling third party games in ~2005, it had a shopping cart.
That's not true, it was quite a bit after that. According to my purchase history, it was late 2008.
European pricing is still totally fucked.

>not learning from mistakes your rivals made years ago
into the fucking trash it goes
Carter Torres
Is it weird that the actual chinese store we got in the west has more features than epic's store?
It just lacks games and English translations for most of its products.

Yeah, if "locking users out of your illegitimate sale because you don't have a shopping cart" counts as improvement these days, then they've hit the nail on the head.
Isaiah Richardson
>That's not true, it was quite a bit after that.
No, it wasn't, when it first started selling third party games, Steam had a shopping cart.
Anthony Diaz
>no search function
>no wishlist

>At the rate Epic Game Store is improving
No reason to assume this rate will continue. Most likely it will slow down, since they're just adding basic ass things that other stores have had for a while.

6-7 years

Hard pass
Cameron Lewis
they increased the amount of delays on everything
a shopping cart is currently more than 6 months away

>Epic Game Store is improving
Fuck off chink shill.
Robert Bennett
Good thing everyone rightfully took a fat shit on steam when it was actually at its worst. It wasn't worth anything except the DRM gate to Half-Life and Counter-Strike back then, and it's the same for the Fortnite Store now.
Jose Taylor
>shopping cart
>6 months away
just fucking how, i cannot believe this is true
Jaxson Hughes
well theyve improved nearly anything about the store, so 800 years at this rate
Jose Ortiz
The fact that they actually make video games.
Austin Martin
No, it wasn't. A shopping cart didn't come until late 2008.
Gamasutra has it as a future feature in March 2008:
> The storefront itself will see localized pricing, more available payment methods, game recommendations based on buying history, and a shopping cart.

My first cart purchase wasn't until late 2008.
The first 3rd party Steam game was Rag Doll King Fu in 2005.
