Comment on Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford says his hopes on Epic Store were 'overly optimistic or misplaced'

  The person I was replying to said there’s no achievements on EGS, I showed them the proof that achievements are supported and they’re more mandatory.

  I don’t care at all about community shit on Steam and consider all of it to be bloat, I still love the challenge from achievements.

    I see. Still, I can see that for many people achievements with no value are no better than their absence. Platform provides value, and for now only steam provides a lot of it with almost each purchase.

      I’m working to bet all I own that most Steam users don’t care about their profile or people seeing the achievements they got.

        If you mean just the percentage of users I might agree. But those people don’t really correlate with the users who provide most of the profit of the platform.

  What has community got to do with achievements? My Steam profile is entirely private, the achievements are for me.

    My profile is also not public but it’s visible to friends. Also I can make it public when I want.

      Fair, but my point is that plenty of people care about achievements without any community integration

        Well did it help Epic when they added achievements? Guess not much. Either they never marketed this feature enough or most spending users never cared about achievements on Epic.
