Where are these people some of you guys keep talking about? In your heads? Some other website?I'm laughing at people who think a single accident is a deathblow.
The whole thread up front is filled with them....Where are these people some of you guys keep talking about? In your heads? Some other website?

They'll get a shopping cart eventually. A few people were inconvenienced by this. In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal.
At this point in time who the hell doesn't release a digital storefront without a cart? It has to be one of the most basic requirements for a store. How can a cart be considered a feature? If I walk into a grocery store and don't see any carts, I'm walking back out. Considering how many other digital storefronts have carts I can't imagine something so basic could be so difficult to implement. Especially considering how many years digital carts have been around and successfully implemented.
How not having something so basic, fundamental and simple as a cart for your digital storefront is not a red flag is something I'll never understand.
Hell, maybe Epic figured from the beginning the service was going to be a huge failure and decided there was no need for a cart since they figured no one would purchase more than one item.
It's not merely a missing shopping cart that's at issue. It's the overall level of incompetence that it conveys, compounded by the company also being polarizing and anti-consumer.On the other hand - it's a shopping cart. I guess I have enough other things going on in my life that this doesn't bother me in the least.

Welp, may as well shut down the forums. No sense in discussing any of this inconsequential stuff.It's a games store. I guess I have enough other things going on in my life that this doesn't bother me in the least.
How's that?

This thread has devolved into whining about a news article being posted in the news section, pretty much from the start.If the forums devolve into nothing but whining about EGS then sure.
The irony. Please, point to where I had a temper tantrum about this? In fact, point to anywhere in any thread I said anything about EGS. Go on, I'll wait.There's plenty to talk about. Like new games and hardware.
It's like if you were at a restaurant and a kid was throwing a fit. You ignore it at first but if it keeps going you say something about it.
You social justice gamers are the toddlers having temper tantrums about the tiniest inconveniences that normal people give 0 fucks about. Any thread about a game on EGS gets spammed with your crying. Drowning out the interesting discussion about the actual game.

I do not like or dislike either, nor the Microsoft Store. As long as my games work and I can get help if needed......
If I went into Best Buy and see no carts I...still go pick up the 1 or 2 things I want. I agree that it shouldn't be a feature when every digital storefront seems to manage to have a cart, and clearly they should have considered what would happen with their mega sale, but at worst it's worthy of a "huh, they should really have a cart" comment. Basing your purchase on the existence of a shopping cart is ridiculous, especially when - outside of a sale - there is little reason to purchase games in bulk.

Why are you defending the lack of one of the most basic requirements for a digital store such as this? Why aren't you questioning why a company would leave this out? Why aren't you wondering why the company considers a cart a "feature" when it's a basic requirement for every other store?
Defending it? No. I'm just not going crazy over it. I've had the client installed on my computer for Fortnite and, to a much lesser extent, UT4 for 1.5 years...any time I've wanted to make a purchase I've been able to do so. If I wanted to purchase BL3 right now why would I allow the existence of a cart to be the deciding factor? Do you want the game or not? Can you purchase the game or not? Can you download and play the game or not?
