Do people actually use Epic? I wasn’t much of a gamer before and didn’t care for Steam, and my first real exposure to PC gaming was when Epic started their weekly giveaway of free games. I made an account, discovered some cool titles, and could have been a happy customer if only their launcher weren’t so ridiculously slow. Now I can barely even stand opening the launcher to collect the free game, let alone trying to browse for games to buy.
No, I personally don’t. I think I have 2 free games but I seriously couldn’t be bothered to ever turn their launcher on to play em. Only epic thing I’ve been forced to use was satisfactorys dedicated servers which for some reason attempt to send data to epic even though it’s a steam dedicated…not epic.
The sheer amount of warnings and errors I get from blocking that traffic to epic is absurd and floods the log files
I think some people do, it’s required for Fortnite and to use Unreal. This is a decent incentive but yeah idk how large the market is, I remember hearing studios that took exclusivity deals with Epic early on didn’t do well
Some of my friends do but I can’t be bothered when I already have Steam and Itch.io
