Epic Games Launcher

The Epic Games Launcher has been a hot topic lately. There's been a mix of praise and criticism, especially about some of the company's choices like privacy issues and its limited features. With Fortnite's massive success, it's not shocking that Epic rose to fame quickly, but this also brought along some concerns.

Understanding the Epic Games Store

You can't really talk about the launcher without mentioning the store since they go hand in hand. They both have their ups and downs. In this chat, I want to focus more on what the launcher offers compared to other big platforms out there.

Community Concerns

First off, let’s address what users are worried about. Some people feel that Epic's way of doing business is not fair, especially when it comes to locking games into their platform only. This can be frustrating for gamers who supported those games on other platforms.

EULA and Data Privacy Issues

There has also been chatter about Epic's End User License Agreement (EULA) and worries over data collection. The original agreement gave them quite a bit of freedom with user content, which raised red flags for many.

User Experience

The first look at the launcher is actually pretty solid! The design feels modern and matches the web store nicely. You can shop right in the app without needing to hop onto your browser.

Navigating Your Library

The sidebar makes it easy to get to your library and friends list, plus access Unreal Engine quickly. It’s all laid out pretty well—at least most of it is!
