I'm not denying there is no netwerk effect regarding steam, but shit - have you seen the Epic Games launcher? Functions are minimal and buggy and it's never a great experience. For example: the button to my friends list has not been working for the past year and it's still not fixed.

I know it's hard to compete against steam, but I really get the feeling they're not particularly trying very hard....

Yeah, the epic launcher is terribad in just about every respect. It's so offputting I barely play any of the games on there.
