Gaming

Marginally worse UI/UX (could be improved a bit by now, I haven’t used it for over a year)

Marginally. It does not deserve all the hate.

Way harsher build in DRM

Doesn't this just affect pirates? I don't really care as long as it doesn't mean that performance is sacrificed.

No proper offline mode. Its an opt-in feature you better have enabled while your connection worked and even then you have to reconnect every other day

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Steam also needs to phone home when you want to switch to offline mode?

No controller support. I start the Epic launcher over Steam so Epic games get the Steam controller support

What are you going on about here? Every single title I played from the EGS I could play with controller just fine (I don't do K+M so I play everything with controller and I never had a problem games just auto-recognizing both my bog standard xbox controller as well as whatever is build into the ROG Ally. Also the 8bitdo fighting stick works out of the box).

No mod support

First real argument against EGS I've read so far. But doesn't mods just replace files in the file system anyway? What would you need a storefront support for?

No forums and communities (I know a lot of people don’t need these, but still a missing feature for others)

Yeah, they aren't for me either, but I can see that there are people who would see this as something positive to have. But then again, isn't everything running in discord today anyway?

no community reviews, you better belive what the paid critics tell you

I trust those reviews a lot more than fickle gamers who review bomb games because some dev said something that goes against their beliefs.
