Before the Epic Games Store got its rework, Sergey Galyonkin, who also ran Steam Spy as a hobby, also learned what developers want to get out of Epic Games' launcher/digital store.
[[Allegedly
[[Digital Distribution]]
[[DRM]]: It's a client launcher.
[[Expy]]: Of [[GOG]] mostly.
** Subverted a bit, since some games that EGS sell, like Boarderlands 3, have an extra DRM or two.
[[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs]]: Too many to count, like:
** Most of the launcher.
** During their first sale, one guy can't go gungho and go on a bonanza shopping spree, except for five games. His account got banned.
** The lack of features is so lacking that Gear Box has to build some of the features for BL3, like the pre-loading ability.
* [[Going Mobile]]: The digital client store will be eventually making its big debut in the mobile scene.
** Though with the same challenging the status quo.
* [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game|Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Store-Launcher]]: Time Sweeney states that the likes of certain games that has content, like [[Ecchi]], [[Hentai]], and the like WON'T be sold in the launcher.
* [[Idiot Programming]]: See Game Breaking Bugs:
* [[Indie Game|Indie Games]]▼
* [[Swiss Cheeses Security]]: There were reports by some gamers that their accounts have been hacked by some guy in Ukraine or Mongolia, now this was a problem that was persistent back when the launcher sold only first party titles. ▼

* [[No Export for You]]: [[Up to the Eleven]], on this one.▼

** Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
* [[Vanilla Edition]]: After comparing to other launchers/digital distribution stores (i.e. [[Uplay]], [[Steam]], [[GOG]], and the great grandma, [[Blizzard Battle.Net]]), the Epic Games Store is essentially basically bare bones.
** Though they say that they have a roadmap where they'll add the much needed features, like achievements. That way they can catch up with their older and more experience cousins.
