I gave Epic's store a chance but even after all this time it's still shit and very far from feature parity with Steam. There's not even proper reviews. No big-picture equivalent. No good out-of-the-box Linux support. No Steam-Deck. The list is very very long. Until Epic starts delivering, the 30% cut Valve takes is more than justified.

I gave it a chance when they took over Rocket League. The damn platform doesn't even support profile avatars while Steam did. So to get a basic nice feature working all you had to do was... not use their platform.

They still don't have avatars.

They absolutely slaughtered rocket league. They even put the dumb cyber truck in it lmao

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh really? I haven't played since they disabled trading items.

I mean, the cyber truck probably looks better than some of the other cars, and you'll probably get better FPS due to the lowered polygon count! But yeah... no bueno.

It's actually quite close to the real version.

So no.

I haven't seen it, but I thought it might be better than the Grog or Scarab.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it might be better than the [...] Scarab

Surely you jest

I went and played a few games. You're right, the cybertruck is the worst looking car in the game by far.
