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.
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.
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 🤷
Origin and Ubisoft launchers are starting as well on their games
