I got the tomb raider games and the screaming baby package delivery hideo Kojima game I can't remember the name of right now, and some stuff I've never played, and that's it. Worth it.

Death Stranding. Good game, I bought it on steam on discount and it's great.

It gave me a new way to look at things, like good art does.

I bought Alan Wake 2, and glad I did. Accidentally decided to buy Red Dead redemption 2 on there because of a discount code making it much cheaper than steam a couple of years ago.

Huge mistake. I added it as a non-steam game so now to launch Red Dead redemption 2. I need to launch steam which then launches epic which then launches Rockstar Games launcher which then launches the game.

You can skip one step and have just have many steps as if you had bought it on Steam, just launch it from the Epic launcher directly, ta-fucking-da

Regretting a decision doesn't make it an accident.

I have 0. Also interesting choice of words with “owns”.

Not to mention "stick it to 'em" when he's doing exactly what Epic hoped for — engaging with their platform. It doesn't even matter if you're using Hero Launcher or not even playing it, it's a +1 in their system and that's what they care about.

I mean if you're going to be like that, you don't own any software.

I have 367 games in my Epic library. A few of them are f2p (e.g. Fortnite) but the majority are giveaways. The only game I've purchased on EGS is Alan Wake 2 due to exclusivity

Yeah, but then you'd need the epic store/launcher, so...
