They also need to keep those users though. Like if people just come for Alan wake 2 they have no incentive to stay currently because the epic games store and app are kinda dogwater compared to steam.

Like I have launchers for a couple services on my computer and the only one that gets used except for the purpose of playing one specific game is steam.

Well, I probably didn't articulate it well enough, but that is what I mean by "using the Epic Games store".

I didn't mean simply buying Alan Wake, I meant using the store for other games.
