Support NeoGAF

But they need almost another year in order to do so.

"We might be waiting a while to try the social features out, though, as Allison says they won’t arrive until at least after summer 2025."

Epic knows its game store social features ‘suck,’ but it wants to fix that

“Our social features on PC suck.”

They've said the same thing like 5 years ago or something. The "free candy van" can die just like the other stores.

 

[ssringo]

Just kidding. Won't make a difference to me. Just find it funny.

It took these guys years to get a shopping cart functioning on their store.

Don't hold your breath.

"social features"

what are they doing to support dualsense in xinput games?

I think the people giving a shit ship has sailed, Timmy boy

Yeah, their roadmap on Trello is completely abandoned.

The only good thing I can say about the Epic Launcher is that, at least it's not the EA or the Xbox app.

I completely gave up on their store/launcher and uninstalled the damned thing. Got sick of having to log in all the time.

Had to lose a few games but I re-bought the ones I still wanted on Steam.

The entire things sucks. They're a multibillion corporation with vast resources. They shouldn't "want", they should just "do".

There's no reason a $30B company can't have a fully functioning high quality piece of software of this type with a great UI, a great UX and all basic features implemented within a year. There are no excuses. It's a lack of will.

The most important thing in the article is that Epic will release free mobile games on their mobile store.

I'm at home sick and have opened 5, possibly 6 PC launchers going at the same time.
Steam, Epic, CoG, Xbox, Meta Quest link, and I think Ubi badge is showing in the corner.
Everything is working.

There's no reason a billionaire company like Valve can't offer a cashback system on Steam, but for some reason they don't do it.

Maybe they should add nanite and lumen and shit.

I don’t understand how you make a tech powerhouse like their engine that the whole industry uses but you can’t make a good app. Can someone explain this?

That's my thought as well. It makes no sense.

They literally wasted their advantage. Ubisoft was their last big publisher. Recently they announced the return to Steam on day one. Their free games a have also gotten worse. From big AAA games to crap indie games.

no one should have to live this way

Ya the Dr gave me swap tests everything came back negative but I got a sore throat, runny nose and I’m hacking up loogies.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Don't reinvent the wheel just copy paste Steam.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Well they're at least one step ahead of Microsoft here, who haven't even noticed their storefront is pure dogshit, yet.

Every PC game on Gamepass requires a privacy policy accept prompt that doesn't support a gamepad. These are the people who are going to fix ROG Ally on Windows.

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. - Hunter S Thompson​

It's over Epic, take your time.
