I love the idea of getting older AAA titles for free, but hate the idea of installing the Epic Games Launcher on my computer. Where do you guys stand on this?

It also makes me sad that Epig Games has fallen so far. I grew up on Unreal Tournament and now I don’t want them anywhere near my computer.

Free is free. If they’re making a bunch of money off ten year-olds and their moms, I’ll take their giveaways. If I get something free from Epic and I really like it, I’ll buy it on gog too.

Same, but on GOG or Steam.

I have never paid a dime on EGS, nor do I plan to. I have purchased games I got for free from EGS on other stores, so there’s that.

I wish GOG would get on the Linux train a bit more.

Iirc, they’re the least profitable of the three big stores, so I understand that it might be difficult to devote the resources needed, but given that they have Linux versions of some games, it would be nice if they’d make a flatpak of Galaxy (or maybe they should just give their Galaxy dev budget to Heroic).
