I mean that’s good for developers I suppose but I’m still not going to be buying from Epic.

You can use Heroic Games Launcher to download and play Epic games.

I could, but those games contain and execute Epic code. (I checked this by examining the binaries, which is probably against Epic’s terms of service, but I don’t care if they find out and ban me.) This would still be true even if they were launched with Heroic or some other launcher. After the snooping that Epic code has already been caught doing, I don’t trust it to run on my systems.

plus I block them in my firewall so no calls home.

Wise decision.

Crack the executables and then block them in your firewall. Though it’s mostly just changes in the directories for where the game and its saves are located that differ from Steam or GOG releases.
