Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?

I hate it because it’s like they’re trying their hardest to make a shitty storefront.
It’s awful.
I get almost none of the information I need when on a game’s store page. Meanwhile, I get all the info I need and then some on the same game’s Steam page.
It’s like they don’t want to sell their product.
I do definitely appreciate the weekly free games. Sometimes, like this week, they have solid offerings. It’s Dead Island 2 this week, btw.

Because in 2025 people get info about games they are buying from the app store instead of twitch or YouTube. Give me a fucking break dude.

When I’m browsing, it’s my first stop. I want to see the minimum specs to estimate how well it’ll run, how the devs market their game at a glance, year of release, rating, etc. Then if it looks interesting it’s time for external reviews.

The only way I know anything about the games I buy is by reading the store page. If I have to go looking for the dev’s website, it’s because something has gone wrong.

I would recommend doing more research before buying, but I’m a kinda a cheap bitch

I feel like I get a pretty good idea of what a game is like from reviews and discussions.
