I used to claim every free game just to help support the dev and cost them a bit more money, but I've decided just not to engage with the EGS at all.

I will never forgive them for trying to start the exclusive war on PC, and I am happy to see most gamers reject them entirely.

It’s important to remind everyone that Tim Sweeney is a nazi pedophile.

I have more than 200 games on Epic, and I'm not ashamed to admit it! I've never given them any money, just collected their free games every week for years.

Same here. I used to claim every single free game each week except when it was the HP game. I think I’ve played maybe one and I’m so disgusted by the comments of the CEO that I just uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago because it’s no longer worth the space on my hard drive.

I mean, Valve already started it back in the day, it was pretty common to buy a physical disk and discover that the installer required you to install steam. Later on they wouldn't even put the full game on the disk, you just got a key to download it from steam.
