Epic doesn’t plan to host game forums, encourages devs to use Reddit instead

The Epic Games store lacks a lot of the features that Steam has put in place over the years, though the company has laid out a roadmap for 2019 that includes things like achievements, mods, and cloud saves. But the launcher won’t match Steam in every category. For example, Epic won’t host forums for third-party games. “Epic doesn’t plan to host third party game forums,” CEO Tim Sweeney tweets (via PC Gamer), “but we encourage developers to link to independent forums (like Reddit) on their store pages. As with Fortnite, we encourage forums (like Reddit.con/r/FortniteBR) that are independent of stores and platforms.” Epic does host its own official Fortnite forums, though the developers have been consistently active on the subreddit, and the latter tends to be a more timely source of news and notes on the game’s development. The same is true of many modern games - though smaller titles often get much more discussion on Steam forums thanks to their convenient placement.
