Epic Games doesn't have forums.
It doesn't matter if Epic doesn't have forums or whatever. Lots of people don't use forums actively anyway lmao.
So really the only question to ask (in the case of JFO) is are you ok with Epic's practices as a company and do you want to support them. I'm guessing since you asked the question you don't take issue with them. It's true Steam has forums and support is better, but you can obviously use the forums anyway like you are now.
tl;dr Since this game doesn't use any important Steam features or multiplayer, it really just comes down to whether you care about supporting one store over the other.
No need to answer that, but doesn't that by itself already explain things? ;)
If you get it on Steam, you get access to upload screenshots to the community for the Game, game hours tracking, if there achievements added then you get support for that as well, along with cloud save, and if there trading cards, badge for profile, you get emotes for chat and forum, and background profile pics. If it support remote play together, you get access to that as well to play with friends like PS share play, or parsec. If it support Steamwork you can access the mods section, which I don't believe EA Origin devs will set up one for this game TBH, and etc...
If didn't get it on Steam you still have access to upload screenshots, but not to the game community, you still have Steam overlay, streaming, Linux play support if you use Linux to allow you to help make things simple enough with running Windows games on Linux, stream in-home streaming, controller support for large variety of controllers, and etc.
On Epic, cloud save support, and that about it. If you want help you need to seek 3rd party forums, or Steam forum for help, but yea that's about it. Not much to say at all, it's not hate, or anything, that's literally all there is on Epic that will offer you.
You see night and day between them one offer a lot of things, while the other offer bare minimum things, and nothing more.
*However I saw that you do not have service medal even if you have loyalty badge, so I guess you do not care that much about CS:GO trust factor.
Advantages of Steam are mostly the bigger catalog. Plus I like the client, even though the new UI isn't my cup of tea yet. I am getting used to it, though.
However, can someone please explain to me why it has to be the one or the other? Why not simply use both? I cannot understand why people think they have to choose.
Using that argument, well, 40 dollars and 50 euros are clearly significantly different. I say just go for cheaper one.
Otherwise when buying on Epic you get everything else the Steam version gets.
So ask yourself if paying $10 more is worth it for screenshots to the hub and for trading cards.
