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?
Epic = China :)
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.
I just subbed to !freegames@lemmy.ml.
FYI that one was a bit quiet so I started !freegames@feddit.uk
Nice plug, thank you
