2 evil companies who get off on huffing their own facts.

Let them fight.

I'm a bit more pathetic to epic since they actually do push the industry forward. Apple have done f all for the gaming industry. In fact they've largely held it back for a long time by having such terrible support for graphics drivers.

push the industry forward

Oh they have reviews now?

Unreal, nanite, lumen, foliage renderer, RdS, The fortnite scripting language which has been ported over to UE5, by far all the best contract for indie devs of all of the non-free game engines.

So, yeah, quite a lot.

Your parent comment was mentioning the fact that their store still does not support user reviews, which should be one of the most basic features.

Yeah I know but I'm saying that they do push the industry forward and then gave examples I'm not saying they're perfect or even very good but their existence extends beyond the epic game store.

Games built in the epic engine can be put on the Steam store no problem. So the fact that the epic store is subpar does not detract from the great advancements in their engine technology.
