This and the paid exclusives mean I haven’t, and won’t use EGS out of pure spite.
I've picked up a ton of their free games. I've yet to actually install their client and actually play one
I could always get one of those games off the high seas and pay the same amount. I'm not going to give Epic the engagement numbers to get investors with.
I believe these Indy devs get paid when you boot a game you got for free, so I'm happy to install stuff and boot it once just to support gaming in general
