The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

No review system for games, no return policy, no community tabs or markets, no appear offline mode, they allow shitcoins and nfts on their platform, forcing their launcher onto games they own (Rocket League that launches through Epic but I bought it on Steam), collecting a metric fuckton of user data and input, and finally very close connections with Tencent. Sure i'm missing a bunch more.

Did they ever add a shopping cart? That was the reason I never bought games from them.

There is shopping cart.

..I only use it to add two free games to cart and "buying" them with one click 🤷

One more thing - really annoying how if you click a game in the sidebar it launches it instead of going to the game in your library. It'd be fine to have a smaller launch button in the same space, but having the whole thing do it is not very intuitive.

Origin and Ubisoft launchers are starting as well on their games
