I bought a couple things on epic early on because I thought competition would be good. But epic kind of sucks and has no Linux support, so I stopped.

Not number of users, mind you, that's the increase in mass of the exact same users.

He's saying that there's no new users, the existing users are 173% fatter.

People do multiple accounts to ban-evade. They cheat, get banned, and move to another account. Games were free, so nothing of value is lost to cheaters.

That the users have put on a lot of weight 🤷

I only have an account at all because the Witcher III wasn’t in a Steam sale when I bought it.

Besides Epic giving out free games, I also have Luna that has weekly free games to claim. They got plenty of good games to claim in Epic Store. Never claimed a single game. Don't even have Epic Store account and have no will to do so. Fuck Epic. Their business model is shit. They do not want to compete with Valve, they just want to extort them with attraction of free games and release store exclusives.
