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.
Yeah, they really like the 12% fee to devs, and think Sweeney is benevolent for suing Google and Apple.
I’m not a Steam fanboy, but they’ve done right by me in supporting Linux, so they get most of my gaming money. I didn’t have a Steam account until they supported Linux, and I used to give Humble most of my gaming money back when they were independent and actually had interesting indie bundles. I would consider switching to GOG or EGS if they committed to supporting Linux like Steam has.
If Steam changes their policies, I’ll stop buying from them. Simple as. But for now they’re making my gaming experience better, so I’ll continue buying from them. I’m easy to please, if you provide a good service that I want that supports my platform, I’ll give you money, and I’ll ignore a lot of other bad stuff you do (e.g. MTX in Valve games I don’t play anyway).
