Maybe one of their reasons is simplicity, even luxury of having a single user account with all of their games, rather than having multiple accounts and multiple game libraries. You have your reasons why you prefer multiple platforms, others may have their own reasons why they prefer a single platform. Have you ever considered it could be that other people are not your clones, but individuals with their own personality and their own personal preferences? So you don't understand why some other people stick to one platform, because one platform is not your cup of tea? Originally posted by Murrmor Meerkat:it makes sense steam is greedy af and epic will pay more its competition and im not crying about it because i can just simply install the epic application why the hell do people buy pcs and just stick with steam at that point play a console because sticking to one store front is not my cup of tea. In other words, it's the "If you can't beat them, join them" kind of situation and many gamers already did. Epic chose a simple strategy: Win the game developers and publishers by giving them better conditions than they have here on Steam, and the gamers will follow.Īs it turns out, the gamers care less about principles and more about playing games, so the platform on which they play is no longer that much big of a factor for them anymore and Epic simply took advantage of it and this strategy has definitely paid off, even with timed exclusivity in place and unfortunately those who consider this timed exclusivity as evil, are in minority which is one very small among many much bigger reasons why it most likely won't change. Why was it that Epic was gaining on popularity despite the much longer existence of Steam? There are many reasons, but great offers never seen before here on Steam including free giveaways of AAA titles, something you could only dream of here on Steam is not even the main reason. For us gamers the reason may be painful, but it's certainly one easily understandable from the business perspective - we, the gamers just aren't the main source of money that would be the decisive factor. It never really was about what gamers want.
