their advantages are purely for developer tools for games using Unreal. thats about it. the only thing it offers to consumers is their free games.

Exactly.
I have a decent amount of games on epic, but it’s all the free games. I might have one or two I bought years ago.

The games I do like (Prey, Sunless Skies, Tony Hawk, Old World, etc) I put in my steam library. The epic Library is horrible to use. From having games auto install just by clicking on them instead of showing you information on them, to having a web shortcut instead of a shortcut to the exe, it’s just flatout annoying to use.
