They have achievements for a while now.
They used have forums like a year or two ago, but have shut them down completely for some reason, so i don't see them adding them back again any time soon. They don't have user-reviews either, which is perhaps more worrying. They have some kind of rating-system on their roadmap, but like all the things added to the EGS thus far, it's so simple and basic. They even made a big deal out of having a shopping cart last winter-sale. It's just bizarre.

They are too busy hemorrhaging money on exclusivity deals to invest in qol for their platform.

Oh, it was just a typo... I thought you were saying they had "ad experience points" which, while not surprising, saddened me greatly.

It's probably too much maintenance for forums and reviews (moderators, rules, bans, complaints). They do well business wise financially; there is no need to stray their current path too much.

The epic launcher is soooooooooo slow, maybe they should address that problem.

At this point it doesn't matter what they do they're dead to me with all the bs they already pulled.

Where are the achievements? Pretty sure I did a lot of hard stuff in Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY and yet there's no any info about achievements.

I love Epic.
So many AAA games and nice Indie games for free but haters gonna hate no matter what happens.
Hope they gonna grow and a forum would really be nice. I think it's gonna happen. There were rumors before.

Not all of the games have achievements, Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY does not have achievements.

Steam already has a major problem with many games not having achievements compared to console, the epic store even if they have a better achievement system it's completely useless as no one supports it and no one will in the future either. Games are only being published there bc they pay for exclusivity and free deals and the freeloaders defend the crappiness with the "bUt ItS fReE" argument so they don't have to get better, I'm all for having more options but epic clearly ain't interested in improving anything, sweeny just wants to cash in on the lowest common denominator while he can then shut it all down and run away with the money, he wouldn't go out of his way to piss on his users whole day long if that wasn't was he was going for, or maybe he's dumb idk.
Even Stadia has full achievement support which is mandatory (like console), let that sync it.
