The decline of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

Dang I have more games in my epic library than I do my steam library.

OK? I wonder how many of them you played and how many are there ¯_(ツ)_/¯ eh don't care

I've played every game I own. Who gets a game and doesn't play it?

[-] Cris16228@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah sure bud. 99.8% of epic users

I was like that until Epic released free games that I decided to claim just in case my tastes changed or I was with a friend who enjoyed that game, but that I myself was very uninterested in playing. And then I got busier, and bought games I have high confidence I'd like but did not have the time to play just then past maybe a demo or a short while to check if I did actually like it—I'd get to it sometime later when I had more free time. My tastes tend to expand to include more things, but not to reject more things as well, so I thought the risk of tastes changing was an okay risk to take in order to capitalize on the sale of a game I am interested in now, even if I would play it much later. So far I have proven pretty good at guessing future me's tastes.
