Why? I claim them all the time on my phone, and occasionally play them through Heroic. I've never installed EGS on any of my devices, but I've played a few through Steam's integration.

A free game is a free game, but I'll never buy from EGS while they're so hostile to my preferred platform: Linux. I'll occasionally buy from GOG, but honestly, their DRM-free schtick isn't nearly as valuable to me as Valve's investment in Linux.

A free game is a free game

If that's all that matters, what's different between downloading the free game Epic affords you versus simply browsing FitGirl and downloading any game for free?

Epic is paying the devs, FitGirl and any other form of piracy isn't.
