I haven't spent a single dollars on EGS, only collecting the freebies since it launched.
I do buy games on GOG whenever possible, as their core mission (make classic games DRM-free) is appealing to me.

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.

Never used this trash. These stupid free games can go to hell, I'm not downloading a launcher, jumping through several different hoops just for them to run on my operating system if Steam does it all natively. Make a good product first. Maybe then.

I mean, I'm personally not spending a cent there until the CEO stops assuming everyone on Linux is cheating at their games, but y'know. Maybe if they slander an entire demographic of computers enough they'll bump their numbers

They can't really be trying as well as they can afford. The Steam Deck is almost 4 years old and they still have no answer for Steam Big Picture. No built into the EGS client remote play to an Android/iOS phone. They're just a Fortnite company with a vestigial game engine and traditional games storefront. Their real video game storefront is now in fortnite

There are a bunch of things that dictate where I'm going to buy a game, including the DRM policy, or if I'm going to use the platform for connecting to online games, and honestly EGS doesn't add anything to the equation except "is the game exclusive to a storefront?". Being the only place to buy a thing isn't a good reason to use a store, its a good reason to play something else. I stopped checking the free games a long time ago simply because i got overloaded with games and i don't need a revokible license to more games than I have time to play.

Why do we keep asking larian studios for opinions? What does ja rule think?

Epic is waging war on steam? Is this like if Sealand were to declare war on the EU or something?

Anyone make a tool to auto claim free games, download, and seed games yet?

I remember one of my idiot peers trying to shill EGS.

Glad i never listened to him.
