Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

I claim but I don’t even have the launcher installed. If it wasn’t for the giveaways I’d completely forget about the place.

I don’t even get the free games…they aren’t worth my time. I’ll pay to get them elsewhere instead even if it’s free there when I’m looking

I’m claiming them for the day when Epic games store shuts down and they give out keys for redeemed games on steam. I’m playing the long game. :D

Bethesda did that after shutting down their launcher.

I just download the games that are drm free (which is actually quite a lot) and put a zip archive on my backup drive(s)

I just use the heroic/legendary alternative launcher for any single player games I actually want to play from egs. It’s open source and gives epic less footprint on my machine.

Unfortunately if you want to do anything multiplayer then you need the real client.
