Even on one of epics own games, Rocket League, the experience is far better on Steam if you were lucky enough to buy it when it was still listed there. Epic launcher is a piece of hot garbage, and the free game aren't worth it to me. I also wonder if there are other consequences to this pricing model, similar to concerns about gamepads.

I prefer the high seas. I'm not sucking on some corpo teat just cause the head is one of the "good billionaires".

The worst part of all this is epic used to be good, they made great games, supported modders, released tons of free content, went the extra mile etc. Then they went Microsoft and packed Games for Widows Live, which was so bad it killed the services subscription and the rest is history.....I wish they were.

Somewhere, in the far distance, if you listen closely.. you can hear Conan Obrien having a meltdown.

I hate Epic Games simply on the principle that Tim Sweeney is an asshole. He despises Steam and yet he can't make a better storefront. He sues Google and Apple so he can drive his little exotic cars around the block. Also he hates Linux gamers for whatever reason. No problem man, I don't want to play Shitnite anyway.
-
I'm petty. I don't like Sweeny because he declared PC was dead back during the Xbox era. Then decided PC wasn't dead and came crawling back bringing his shit house store and console exclusivity bullshit with him.

Imagine having Fortnite money and all you can deliver is the EGS. Yeah free games are cool I guess but it's like the laziest approach regarding actually engineering and developing a solution

My most played games lately are Vintage Story and Factorio. Both bought directly from the developers through their own website.
-
How are you liking vintage story? I've been trying to get into it but struggling lol
-
Pretty much finished all the content except the most recent update. Probably 1000+ hours, certainly 100s in it. Didn't struggle too much but I have played it back since before seasons and food spoilage was in the game and I played a lot of TFC modded MC before I found VS which some of the mechanics are quite heavily inspired by.
Recently tried playing as a nomad for a bit, kept on the same save but dropped all my stuff and reset my character and went hunter class. Then went on a 100km expedition down through the warmer biomes and grabbed a bunch of seeds, like soybean and rice that can be a bit harder to get in the more temperate biomes. Took those back home with me.

Fuck Epic, provide better service or fuck off. Using money to kill competition means they will turn around as soon as they can.
-
At least they didn't say the Microsoft Store
-
G*mers when you don't use their monopolistic service: 😡
-
I've never had issues with getting refunds through steam. I've never successfully gotten a refund through epic.
you can enjoy your free games if you want, but it isn't a better service and pretending otherwise is delusional.
-
Which one is bringing exclusives to PC and working against Linux gaming?
-
Which one killed competition with anti consumer practices in the 2000's?
Which one popularised micro transactions?
Which one popularised loot boxes and gambling?
Which one popularised the current "Sell now, fix later" model
Which one bricks older titles because of it's DRM requirements
(The answer is Steam btw, I know I'll need to spell it out for G*mers)

I ended up deleting my Epic account. It was full of free games that I had never played once and had no interest to.
-
I spent ages collecting the free games. Then the Steam Deck came along and I changed my PC to Linux. Then I repurchased all the games I wanted to play on Steam anyway. Then I don't have to set up Epic or worry about save game sync.
-
Same except the push for me was in my "degoogling" process. Epic wouldn't accept an email address from Proton. They said I needed a "legitimate email" and then locked my account till I provided one. That was the push I needed to dump them completely. Truly, I haven't even thought about missing it since leaving.

Epic gives away good free games from to time. While Steam is my primary, I still hop into Epic to play my free copies of Hell Let Loose and Fall Guys from time to time.
-
Yeah they periodically lose private information, such as adresses, email adresses and credit card information. But that's the price you have to pay to get a "free" game.
-
Don't have yo put in credit card info for the free games iirc
-
I could see that as being an annoyance if I had given them any payment information. I was already caught up in a major data leak that exposed my SSN and address over a decade ago, so my shit is out there and all I can do is monitor at this point anyways.

Did them a favor.

I only ever shop on Epic if the discount is too large to ignore, which happens very infrequently.
I've collected so many free games I will never touch though.
-
I have been doing it for years now. Every thursday. I think im somewhere near 300 games now? Games I've purchased from them myself is 2, lol. The amount of free games I've played is like 5 and normally very briefly. I don't think the model is working.
-
Not even created an account. It doesn't run natively on Linux and I just don't care to even bother running it
