I’m pretty sure there are tons of people like that. It’s the same for me.

Yeah, that’s pretty common. 200+ games and they don’t even have payment info for me.

If something is free, you’re the product. They still have all your sweet data :)

Do you think Steam or GOG isn’t collecting data on you?

True, but they are collecting all my data either way since I have an account. I may as well collect the free games.

I’m honestly astonished they don’t require payment info on file to collect them by this point - initially it’s a way to bribe people into making an account, and now they could bribe a bunch of people into giving payment info and lowering one more barrier to actually buying from them.

That’s some dedication! Sometimes I wish I would do this more often. I start doing it, then it just fades away… Might be because some of the games don’t apply to my taste, then I forget to keep up with it.
