A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There's some really good games they gave through the years and if you use a library aggregator like Galaxy 2.0 or Playnite you basically don't notice what launcher it's on...
Yeah, I just haven't gotten to it.
I use Linux, so the convenience of switching Proton versions through Steam is worth buying the game again in most cases. I could use Heroic launcher, but the interface isn't as nice and adding each game to Steam is tedious, especially on my Steam Deck (esp. since Steam has decent settings preconfigured in many cases).
So yeah, my laziness costs me some money. If EGS supported Linux, I'd probably buy some games from them. Likewise for GOG, but at least GOG has Linux builds of many games, so they occasionally get my money as well.
