Epic would charge Steam's fees if they had Steam's marketshare.

Everyone thinking they care about creators or customers is a fucking moron.

Are they close to feature parity with Steam yet? Like after a quick search of it looks like they added cloud saves but that took years.

Not even close. Plus, it's not just about feature parity. It's also about ease of use. EGS is still shit as of 2 months ago.
