It’s not a dumpy alternative. It’s the only alternative that currently allows AI generated content in games.

How is that a point in favor of epic? AI generated assets to me are indicative of game developers who put the least amount of effort into their game. That stuff can stay on the epic store next to the nft games where it belongs.

Steam allows AI generated content in games, otherwise The Finals wouldn't be on Steam.

To the user however, this means nothing. EGS is just that crappy storefront with less features than steam that you are required to use for some games because Tim Sweeney whipped out his wallet.

to steam users, you mean. People who just want to buy and play a game don't care about having a social media embedded in their game launcher. But sure, it's extra friction which is why I buy from GOG when I can.

Not too relevant either way. If Epic sells their own hardware you'd still end up with a decent computer (even if you have to "jailbreak" it) at worst.
