Why do gamers refuse to use the Epic Games Store? Former Epic exclusive Witchfire developer Adrian Chmielarz explains its because Steam is a home.

    Does EGS have reviews yet? It didn’t last time I visited for a free game.

    I’m (probably) not going to buy a game from a platform that doesn’t have reviews.

      The only written reviews it shows are industry ones from OpenCritic.

      It shows a user rating out of 5 stars but no idea how that is derived.

      It’s just perfectly anti-customer.

      It has, but not for everyone. They’re randomly offered to players, but I’m unsure of any hidden criteria to trigger the pop-up.
