Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front

Forget competing, they lack even the basics.

What do you consider basic that it's still missing? To be honest I've felt content with it as a game launcher for a while now, but I admittedly don't use it that often either.

Remote play together, local network streaming, etc.

[-] MHLoppy@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

I guess our opinions differ, because I don't consider either of those to be "basics". They're nice features for e.g., Steam to have, sure, but they're not "game launcher 101" imo.

[-] jack@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That's a fair take. We all have different priorities.

We use in home streaming nearly every day now, so it's a must have for me. Remote play together is critical for certain games as well.
