Won't even take their free 'gifts', worse than Origin when it comes to spyware and data collecting. I can't understand anyone who willingly puts EGS on their device but complains about advertisers on other platforms collecting info about them.

Yeah let's not forget this is the client that went through your Steam-installed files on your drive to see what it could offer you.

Free games be damned, I’m not using it while they pay for timed exclusives and limit consumer choice.

Right? Can you imagine what they could have been if they just sold the same games as Steam but tried really hard to just be a really good platform? lol

Because ads are something I dont want to see in general. EGS is something I knowingly use and want on my pc to play games. The choice is what makes it different.
