I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it's the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

I don’t really know all the details other than Tim Sweeney seeming like a shit head. I just collect my free games sometimes and have never bought a thing on there, I don’t even think I have payment info on there.

Part of the hate is against Sweeny. The rest of the hate is that it isn’t steam.

As others said, EGS is just a fucking cancer, not a competition. A good competition to Steam is actually Microsoft App Store. It's a very streamlined mobile-like experience.
