Steam definitely has its flaws but it is still the better platform between the two. Epic Games Launcher seems to be hyper focused on being very anti-consumer.
Steam is okay. Epic store is trash.

@Greentoast11 how's 30% absurd? Last time I heard, physical copies takes even more than that. Also, if you think Epic's shenanigans counts as 'competition', that somehow will turn it all good for consumers, you haven't been paying attention.
Epic takes 12% of the sales instead of thirty and pays publishers for timed exclusivity. That sounds good on paper but the trade off is a smaller install base, no access to certain markets due to how poor Epic's store is. I am guessing when Publishers see they make more money on the long run with no exclusivity deals Epic's scheme will fall to pieces.
@Walpknut If people want to buy a game, they won't be deterred by spending 5 minutes setting up an Epic Games account.
They will be deterred by needing to get a Credit card and the price not being to their region.

People don't seem to get that for many markets Steam isn't just an online store, it makes games much accesible and affordable.
