I used to claim every free game just to help support the dev and cost them a bit more money, but I've decided just not to engage with the EGS at all.

I will never forgive them for trying to start the exclusive war on PC, and I am happy to see most gamers reject them entirely.

    I mean, Valve already started it back in the day, it was pretty common to buy a physical disk and discover that the installer required you to install steam. Later on they wouldn't even put the full game on the disk, you just got a key to download it from steam.

    Same here. I used to claim every single free game each week except when it was the HP game. I think I’ve played maybe one and I’m so disgusted by the comments of the CEO that I just uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago because it’s no longer worth the space on my hard drive.
