but at the same time steam have a fuckton of features, it take tine to implement everything

It does take time, but when you launch a product that's missing basic features (like a shopping cart, something almost every online store in existence has) you tell on yourself to your customers, and let them know they're not a priority.

I don't disagree that Steam's feature rich platform makes it hard to compete with on that level... but for fuck's sake, at least try a little bit. Especially if your first move is to say they're unfairly gaming the market by... providing something people want.

lmao, true, they didn't even try

Sure, but the epic store doesn't/didn't have even basic features. Nobody was expected a steam remote play equivalent when the launcher first released, but they were at least expecting a cart, and reviews, and all kinds of other stuff that isn't just a feature of steam, but features of storefronts in general.

Yeah, it will. But start with the most important features while also building some of those features that solve problems.
