      But how does the EGS exist?

      Because they are able to subsidize it with investor as well as Fortnite money. I doubt it’s turned a profit for them.

      Wouldn’t exactly call that “viable competition”

        That’s the thing that gets me. Undercutting is the quintessential anticompetitive practice, and it’s Epic’s entire business model. They give away games for free because they are trying to siphon some of Steam’s customers. They make exclusive release deals with publishers because they want to force people to use their platform. They are trying to compete with Steam using their resources from the success of Fortnite and Unreal rather than compete with the storefront by actually having a better storefront.

          One of the problems Epic has is that it is only a store front. Steam is a fully featured platform.

          Epic, in their lawsuit, wants to break Steam’s store and platform into separate applications, so they can compete.

          Sort of like how people want to have different app stores on their iphones.

          Difference is: Steam has no restrictions in the first place. You can add non-Steam games to the client if you want. You can use Proton if you want.

          Steam offers all of these features for free. What is the point in breaking them apart.

            That’s what all users want

            You can add non-Steam games to the client if you want.

            Oh so it’s not a store, it’s just a launcher like Heroic…wait no, it’s still a problem

            Any client should be able to implement part of steam into it and any part of steam should be a standalone company

              So let me get this straight. Any client that wanted to have steam features, like the forum, hosting, workshop, chat, and all the jazz, should be able to do so without paying steam any fee? Why didn’t they develop it themselves? Or should steam sell that as a service to those who wanted it? Say for example, epic wanted to have family sharing. Steam should sell their family sharing feature to epic as a service?

                Yes, though each of those should be their own company so if steam wants forums they should be able to put someone’s website in their launcher, if they want people to buy games then they should be able to embed someone’s store in their launcher…etc
