For me it's just how terrible the steam client was for the longest time. Epic comes around, releases a client that ends up having features people were asking and they've been really transparent about what they're working on.

The lack of communication from Valve over the years has really done them in IMO.

The Epic client lacks basic features Steam offers. They tried to set up their platform because of the massive liquidity from fortnite, which is completely funded by micro-transactions, which are not an inch less predatory. What features do you think Steam is missing?

Not OP but the ability to ignore games that don't support English. Steam Labs introduction of price filters should've have been available ages ago.

Which feature's does Epic's client have that steam doesn't?

I wouldn't know because epic's client can't even run on Linux.
