Or you can get it for less than $7 dollars from a reputable game service, unlike the fucking joke that is Epic Games Store.

I mean, it's not like you're actually going to play it, either way.

Epic games store is honestly quite decent m8 I've been using it since 2020. Some of the good things I've noticed on epic games is

  • free games

  • alot of the sales for games can be cheaper than steam sales

It's hardly no different to steam gog or any other game launched out there although it lacks official linux support which is a negative in my books when it comes to privacy I'll argue they're both as bad as each other if you think your being smart by avoiding epic games because it's owned by tencent and your concerned for your privacy then you should stop using steam ubisoft ea gog and the many other launchers as well they're both as invasive when it comes to your privacy as the other plus hear me out.. YOUR NOT THAT IMPORTANT I'm not sure the feds are coming after a 32 year old IT tech support worker because he said wrongthink on a tiny social media network

If your still super paranoid first uninstall all your game launchers then maybe pirate and look into foss alternatives or try GOG out you can install games on the Web without a launcher and the games don't have invasive drm

You're calling out the wrong people, completely missing the point of everything privacy or why the epic store is a bad thing and being an idiot and asshole.
