ILikeBoobies,

I like Epic as much as anyone but why would you want your library filled with bloat?

ocassionallyaduck,

This is the point though. They have beefed up my Epic Games library to the point where if I got banned from Steam, I would have a viable fallback.

That cannot be understated. It has a network effect and makes adopting it as a new platform versus a legacy one with two decades behind it, far easier to adjust to.

I love that at least someone is really trying other than MS with their poorly supported windows games store attempts.

TheOakTree,

It will always be weird to me that microsoft sells some games both on the microsoft store app and the xbox app, but other games exclusively through the xbox app.

Nyxicas,

Karma farming, much? lol

Yeah and owning the privilege to have games on Steam is any better.

You can use this FOSS tool to automatically claim those games.

Some even work pretty well on Linux using the Heroic Launcher.

Mora,

Does that still work? Last updated over a year ago and the free games are usually protected by some rather creative captchas.

Kecessa,

Never had to fill a captcha to get one of the free games

Bazoogle,

lol, it was last updated 3 days ago

GeneralEmergency,

I see the Valve bootlickers are out in force. How dare Epic fund indie games, what a bunch of bastards

overload,

I bought Alan Wake 2, and glad I did. Accidentally decided to buy Red Dead redemption 2 on there because of a discount code making it much cheaper than steam a couple of years ago.

Huge mistake. I added it as a non-steam game so now to launch Red Dead redemption 2. I need to launch steam which then launches epic which then launches Rockstar Games launcher which then launches the game.

Kecessa,

You can skip one step and have just have many steps as if you had bought it on Steam, just launch it from the Epic launcher directly, ta-fucking-da

I stopped claiming epic freebies when I realized I ended up buying the game on steam anyway.
