I'm genuinely shocked how much Epic poured into the store and it still lacks so much basic features. Sorting games is still extremely barebones, store is filled with NFT/crypto garbage, the store still looks like a college student's first front-end project, and last time I used the launcher to pick up free games (last year), it was still slow as hell. What were they doing in the past 5 years aside from dropping millions on exclusivity deals?

Epic is going to have to prioritize the store and try some new initiatives while also doubling down on earning pivotal exclusives if it is going to have a chance. I also hope other viable competitors arrive.

Maybe when GOG supports Linux properly.

I mean, you can run any game through Proton. You don't even need to buy anything, just open steam, add the non-steam game, select proton compatibility, and off you go. This is how I play a lot of my Itch.io games on Steamdeck or my laptop (I don't have a windows install on any of my systems).
