You are exactly the kind of person I was talking about when I made my initial comment. Ultimately, you're just butthurt that you would have to click the icon beside the Steam icon on your desktop to get your game. Oh! The Humanity!

Dude, are you for real? Either you can't read or you're being deliberately obtuse. These are the launchers I have installed and regularly use:
Steam
Origin
uplay
GOG Galaxy
Battlenet
I don't give a damn about another launcher. I'd way rather own a game on uplay or Origin and launch a game directly from there then have to go through multiple steps through Steam. Hell, I have the Bethesda launcher purely because I was able to get the new DOOM at 30% off on GMG. Steam isn't perfect and there plenty of things Valve needs to do to improve the user experience but what they, and numerous other stores offer is so far beyond in comparison to the Epic store.
I can't even remember the last game I bought on Steam since there are so many great deals flying around on other storefronts. And as an FYI you're not paying exchange rates on Steam, GOG, uplay, GMG, Fanatical or Humble nor do you pay transaction fees. Games are listed on those other storefronts in Canadian currency at the exact same price point that you'd find in a physical store here. That's regional pricing. The big difference is that with so many storefronts competing with each other you can easily snag deals well below MSRP.
Aside from that there is a whole laundry list of missing features on the EGS. This is somewhat out of date but not by a whole lot. Epic hasn't added much since they launched and even things like cloud saves are remarkably unstable.
But do go on about how butt hurt I am over clicking another icon when I already use 5 without issue. I've said it before and I'll say it again; compete on features and price. If you're Epic, you're not competing in either sphere so why should I waste my time and money?
