I mean sure nobody likes capitalism here but have they actually tried making a better product? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago* (1 child) To be fair, he's kinda right about it. You can't JUST make a better product and hope gamers will move to your platform. Everyone's got dozens if not hundreds of games on Steam and nobody wants to sit in two gardens. To get people to move over, Steam would actively have to turn shit too. There's nothing you can do to make a platform so much better than Steam currently is that it would entice people to move over. Perhaps if it sucked your dick while you're playing? That's a separate point from Epic itself being shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] qbus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago That should be easy for them because they're really good at sucking permalink fedilink source parent
