To me it's alright solely because of Heroic Games Launcher that covers the Epic Store and GOG. I must admit I rarely end up playing the games from Epic, but they do give away some really good games from time to time. To be clear, I would probably never actually buy anything from Epic for a few different reasons, but getting free games is cool.

I view it as a backup in case I ever get banned or locked out of my account from Steam or Steam has a major outage. At least I have Epic as a backup. It costs me nothing except opening it once every week and adding it to my library.

I wouldn’t be that upset if anything happened to my Epic account though. I have zero attachment to them.
