Epic Games Is Acquiring Psyonix
I've had a Steam account long enough to know how terrible and annoying Steam can be. I've also seen how much Steam has done for the PC gaming community over the years, and I originally hoped Epic would push them into accelerating some of their timelines. There is value in Steam having competition, but that value diminishes as soon as someone comes along and competes for games instead of users. It took Steam a long time to become both useful (Workshop, Sales, Forums), and generally good for the customer (Returns, Curation, Support), and Epic isn't even trying to compete in those areas.<p>Epic isn't making a marketplace where I want to spend my money by being better than Steam, they're just trying to make a place where I <i>have</i> to spend money if I want to play certain games. Good luck with that one.
