Comment on Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”

  I don’t know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don’t use very often, I hope I recall correctly)

  • Refunds
  • Family sharing of games
  • Sharing games for other local users
  • Being able to lend games
  • Remote Play (with friends)
  • Remote Play (stream for a local machine)
  • Linux support through proton
  • probably more?

    • Mod hosting/browser/framework for API
    • controller configuration tools
    • Better storefront with decent discovery and better search (Although this wouldn’t be a condement in the anology)
    • Passable social tools (IE voice chat)
    • Game streaming to friends
    • Cloud saves
    • Relatively good review system
    • Item marketplace and trading

  Free cloud backups of save files is really nice.

  Free hosting of screenshots, too.

  Free forums (though they tend to suck. I guess that’s like they only have basic yellow mustard or something, in this metaphor)
