for he has won so hard, that even giving games for free is not enough to break away from steam.

https://frvr.com/blog/epic-game-stores-free-giveaways-just-causes-a-huge-spike-in-steam-sales/
>>
people installing Tencent-software for free games are whores
>>
Here is a list of stuff epic can do to win over steam.

They own the unreal engine, thus it should be possible to do the following:

Hardware Raytrace injection for UE3 and UE4 games.
AI tool that up-res textures for old UE3 and UE4 games.
DLSS and FSR support injection for UE3 and UE4 games (needed for hardware raytrace).
VR support for UE3 and UE4 games.

Add those tools in the store launcher, and it would be a nice feature exclusive to them.

If they did something like this, I would buy some games in the epic store.

They know the engine from the inside out, there is no way they can't pull something like this.

Oshry is wrong. Sales were up 200% because it was Christmas
The giveaway on EGS was on the 20th.
I do wish EGS would u fuck it's launcher though. Where steams is over bloated and messy imo, EGS is under featured and has less utility.

At least Zoom Platform has the decency to keep their storefront in-browser.

Epic needs to add community stuff or people will never stay there.

>+200% over previous day for a literally who game released in 2023
>the christmas giveaway did NOT reveal the next game in advance unlike the usual weekly ones
>game is cheap enough (+ on sale) that most people wouldn't hesitate just buying it instead of installing epic's launcher (because they don't know or care about the CLI alternative)

We already knew this thanks to Kingdom Hearts' 3 year exclusivity period causing a huge spike when it was finally unshackled from Timmy.

Telling you right now, none of that shit is getting me to buy Unreal titles. In fact, if it's Unreal Engine *5* in particular, I'm avoiding it.

Putting that shit in better performing engines will just make me not use those.

Looks like I missed this freebie

God damn it

the only thing they could do to win over low iq gaymers is to build a discord esque social media platform around their marketplace. and start over with a new brand, which the same gaymers have slandered and ruined all to protect their own fragile egos, that they couldn't have been so emotionally attached to a games platform just because it had a friends and forum feature.
