My launcher shows that I have 379 games from Epic. Not DLC, not demos. Full games.

I have never given Epic a single cent and I never will. (That is to say, until they offer me something that makes me want to use their platform). They have no killer features - AT ALL.

To make it worse, I have all these games, but I still rarely play them. Not that it’s a bad selection, but between steamdeck, gamepass and just a crazy backlog on Steam makes me rarely think of Epic store.

Well that's at the crux of it, indeed. Steam has these killer features that enable and empower me as a gamer.

Then there's Epic that still doesn't have controller support.

Wait, what? No controller support?

[-] phx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

LoL. Yeah I've got a ton and I've never actually launched a single one

I spent about $600 with epic. All of that was on fortnite skins. None of it on games.

Hey man, it provided value to my life... its a fun game, i play it quite a bit. Plus half of that was for my kid, he would ask for vbucks every birthday and Christmas for years.
