I am wondering why Epic Games comes to mind, but not Steam? I see this happen quite often.
I have nothing against Steam or Epic Games; rather, I am curious why the discourse around the two seems to be different, even though they're quite similar as services?
Did Epic Games do "something wrong" (not sure what the right term here is, please do suggest a better one if it comes to mind) in comparison to what Steam does?
- XorNot 4y agoSteam doesn't sell games on iOS platforms. Epic does.
- gwillz 4y agoI feel like the introduction of "store exclusives" really grated badly on an already well established Steam user base. Gamers, and PC gamers in particular, are quite stubborn. I suspect there's a lot of loyalty to Steam for many reasons and Epic making their own copycat store split their already well-curated libraries. That and they literally yanked games already released on Steam and moved them to Epic, so I'd say that's where most of the bad blood comes from.
- moonchrome 4y agoEpic literally said 'screw you' to Apple store policies on in-app purchases, then went to court after they got pulled down. Valve doesn't have anything in the phone space AFAIK.
