so people keep using their store. If you have 30games on epic games, why should you use/install steam to buy games? Your entire library is already on epic store, thats their goal.
Free stuff is what attracts people. Epic gives out free games, people download them. Then they see Epic has games that look interesting but aren't free, so they buy them. Marketing 101/Steal from your competition 101.
to build a bigger community. I'm all for Epic Games taking over steam in the rankings, seeing as steam is a massive steaming pile of hot garbage. It's literally a fucking web browser.
i mainly use epic to claim free games steam is my main platform when buying games i've never spent money on epic.
i don't know maybe in future if epic makes a profile stuff just like on steam where you can view your or friends profile i will use it more often
