This is a problem that has been pointed out to Epic for YEARS, and yet

Workshop? Missing. Streaming? Not here. Screenshots? Why bother? Being
able to launch directly into your library, bypassing the store-front?
Fuck no!
 
So it is obvious that Epic isn't unaware of these issues. They
certainly don't lack the skill or resources to build something better.
The only conclusion is that they just don't care. None of that is
important to them. Hell, why should they want you to PLAY the games?
Just BUY them; that's all that is important.

That's the part I really don't understand, if they want to rival Steam,
or at least take a large share of the market, then you'd think they'd do
at least some research into why Steam is so successful and come up with
the answer that it's because it's more than just a store front as it
also has lots of other useful features and Steam keep adding to them to
try and create a better experience.

It just comes across as if we throw enough money at it then everything

Gaben, despite his faults of not making sequels, knows damn well how to
/provide something good that people like/, which feels rare nowadays.
