I can hazard a guess as to why. Might be something to do with the fact that I only actually paid for three (heavily discounted) games in my entire Epic Games library. The rest of my library were giveaways. I suspect a lot of customers' Epic libraries are similar.

I have zero paid games on Epic. Only a huge collection of free games. I've never even played many of them.

I wanted to play Untitled Goose Game but it was an Epic exclusive. I waited for it to come out on Steam and then I bought it there :)
