Fuck I miss just having the game’s executable.
That’s gog, itch, or epic
Definitely not Epic? No idea where you got that. They downstall like Steam does. GOG and Itch, yes. I got Micro Mages off of itch and its a cool game.
A lot of games on Epic don’t have DRM (like GoG it’s developer opt in) so you can just launch the exe without opening Heroic

Fuck Epic, provide better service or fuck off. Using money to kill competition means they will turn around as soon as they can.
At least they didn’t say the Microsoft Store
Epic gives away good free games from to time. While Steam is my primary, I still hop into Epic to play my free copies of Hell Let Loose and Fall Guys from time to time.
I can get the same games from the high seas for the same price and not provide Epic with an active account with which to entice investors.
G*mers when you don’t use their monopolistic service: 😡
I’ve never had issues with getting refunds through steam. I’ve never successfully gotten a refund through epic.
you can enjoy your free games if you want, but it isn’t a better service and pretending otherwise is delusional.
Which one is bringing exclusives to PC and working against Linux gaming?
Which one killed competition with anti consumer practices in the 2000’s?
Which one popularised micro transactions?
Which one popularised loot boxes and gambling?
Which one popularised the current “Sell now, fix later” model
Which one bricks older titles because of it’s DRM requirements
(The answer is Steam btw, I know I’ll need to spell it out for G*mers)
I’ll add they only offer refunds because the EU forced them and that at the time even EA offered better refunds, I don’t know now because I am detached from gaming these days.
It’s not even the worst. If Epic goes down, you have lost everything. If Steam goes down you have lost everything. If Gog goes down you have lost nothing (because you have a backup I hope).
If Steam goes down I have no problems torrenting games I’ve already paid for
Which one killed competition with anti consumer practices in the 2000’s?
Epic has even more anti-consumer practices.
Which one popularised micro transactions?
Does Epic ban micro transactions?
Which one popularised loot boxes and gambling?
None of this available on EGS either?
Which one popularised the current “Sell now, fix later” model
“The service that was around first did these things that the service that came later is also doing, that makes the service that came later better for some reason!”
Imagine being so Stockholmed that you miss the point that bad.
Imagine being so full of yourself that you think saying nothing has any value.
Fun fact: the term “Stockholm syndrome” originates from a hostage situation in which the authorities did not seem to care about the safety of the hostages at all, they regularly put the hostages in danger and the hostage takers were frequently trying to protect the hostages from the actions of the authorities.
In light of that, the hostages having more empathy towards their captors makes perfect sense. However ignorant people who did not understand the details of the event coined the term “Stockholm syndrome” instead of actually listening to the hostages or trying to understand a different point of view.Your use of the term feels very appropriate.
Referring to Epic I presume?
ah yes the famous monopoly, the epic game store
No. Obviously. I know G*mers aren’t smart but I’m clearly talking about Steam.
Dude can’t even spell “Gamers” and is complaining other people aren’t smart…
I ended up deleting my Epic account. It was full of free games that I had never played once and had no interest to.
What, no love for Prime Games (or whatever it’s called now)?
I only ever shop on Epic if the discount is too large to ignore, which happens very infrequently.
I’ve collected so many free games I will never touch though.
I have been doing it for years now. Every thursday. I think im somewhere near 300 games now? Games I’ve purchased from them myself is 2, lol. The amount of free games I’ve played is like 5 and normally very briefly. I don’t think the model is working.
