To be fair despite Valve's tech stack being easy to replicate, their actual competition mostly hasn't replicated their feature set in full? Epic took a while to ramp up to "shopping carts" despite having a pretty large funding model, still doesn't have little gimmicks like trading cards and chat stickers, w/e. That's not really moat but it seems like the competition doesn't want to invest to exact parity.
(And a lot of stores like Ubisofts or EA's were very feature lite tbh.)

- jay_kyburz 2y agoYeah, on face value, Epic looks like they want to compete with Steam, but the developers of the Epic Game store are really phoning it in. They have had years and still not even close, from both the consumer side and the developer side.
