coolitic The fact that it's taken them this long, to allegedly take it seriously, does not inspire confidence. Reply
hotaru251 tbh if it is even half true it will finally be usable. the amount of time it takes to update/open/change pages is disgusting atm and anything will make just using it better. Reply
voyteck I gave up on Epic entirely after having nothing but trouble running GTA V. At first, I had to log in with my admin credentials just to be able to play – after logging out – on my standard account. Eventually, I couldn't play it at all, and neither repairing nor reinstalling the game helped. Reply
edzieba Faster load times are nice, but adding more cruft like user-reviews, algorithmic recommendations, and yet another controller API? No thankyou, turning a simple store into another bloated mess like Steam is not a good move. Reply
Kicapan07 Good for them and the people who use them but I'll still be avoiding their launcher like the plague. Reply
circadia ezst036 said: Linux support? probably a yes, as indicated by Epic's job listings. They're looking for engineers who can bring kernel anti-cheat into Linux for Fortnite. Reply
htwingnut Sorry but no thanks. Epic is awful. They have a LONG way to go to be even close to Steam. With Steam, i can copy the game folder to another computer and it will just work. Or put them on an external drive and use them between my desktop and laptop or any other computer. With Epic you have to download it every single place. It's so locked down it's dumb. Reply
WMcMaster As a steam enjoyer I have absolutely no problem with more / better competition. Valve is always made out to be the bad guys because they control a huge portion of the market but the fact of the matter is and always has been that the competition has sucked. Reply
