I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on EGS… it’s embarrassing because it’s the first time I’ve spent money on a free game. All the games I own on there were free. Which is great, because a few of them I was thinking about getting on sale on steam, but they were the weekly free game on EGS.
So yeah, they got my money, but not for the games…
Eh, I won’t even install egs for free games
Yeah i don’t get that hoarder mentality either. If there is a game i want i can buy it wherever i feel ethically appropriate. I don’t even play all of the games i already own, i dont need a load of more games i wont be touching.
Two of the best games I’ve ever played, I got for free on Epic: Titanfall 2 and Control
I mean what did they expect? With all those free games on a set frequency they basically trained their users that this is what Epic is for. That was their entire marketing. I don’t know a single person IRL who has an Epic account and has actually bought a game there.
I have so many free games from epic, but absolutely nothing is interesting to me.
I wouldn’t mind more competition but there’s literally no reason to use egs over valve.
An example is instead of having a better review system than steam’s basic good or bad they could of had a good, maybe, bad then had separate reviews for reviewing specific patches or something. But no the CEO said reviews are bad for devs LOL.
On top of that he’s been vocal about being anti Linux and is full of garbage hot takes. And it really says a lot when he lays off staff that are part for Fortnite’s $1.1 billion made
Yeah, competition is great but they aren’t competing lol. Gog competes with Steam with no DRM. EGS tried to do it by getting exclusives onto their platform, which is just anti-consumer. I’ll never touch their store because of that, even for free shit. I’d rather pay for games than even give them a single datapoint to report to their investors.
