We can all buy thousands of dollars worth of https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/570/Name%20Tag
and rename all our items to "Epic Store"
Just throwing the idea out there...

I have received almost 200 games in the last 2-3 years absolutely free of charge from Epic games store. Haven't bought a single game and have a library of games over there worth thousands lol. You are the one missing out.

In 3 more hours I will get another game for free that has an actual price tag of sometimes even 60 dollars. Does valve do thing like this for their customers? I've never seen them give out a 60 dollar game for free in almost 20 years. At best it's a massive discount.

always remember if entire offer is free, youre the product. they are a known spyware and needless to say owned by tencent, which is immediately a reason to not use their services.
and still i am unsure as why getting a freebie is such a deal-maker for you, a ton of games on steam are free by default + many good games go free to keep forever. but at least platform its on is located in civilized world where privacy and other laws apply.

Well said, zooi.

Valve does give us games: Team Fortress, Counter Strike, Dota, Underlords (lol), Artifact (double lol), they give us a community to talk, they pay moderators for said communities. It's X of gaming.

But yeah, I agree that Dota 2 could be a bit more rewarding and again: stop with the gamble lootboxes.

What information do you think valve has on you? HAHA. They even have your hardware serial ID numbers. How do you think valve is banning all these smurfs? How do you think they know you are playing on 20 different accounts from the same computer.

Imagine trading one evil for the other but exempting the other because they are Homegrown and also the bigger company. The point is if I'm gonna be spied on by the gaming platform at least give me some free ♥♥♥♥.

Your vacuum machine collect data and share it. It's not about collecting Data, it is how well you protect customers data and how you "share" with other companies.

As far as I know, Steam is very ethical with the personal information of their users. I vouch for than, at least for now.

Riot has been known for installing spyware application - and this is no CAP, really happened, google it. Even Starcraft Brood Wars had problems like, 20 years ago, that Blizzard was collecting "more data than they should" and it was a scandal.

IMHO, you can trust Steam handling your personal data.

Maybe so, but I don't see directly behind the scenes, so you never know.

I don't think Riot games should be hosted on Steam, because Steam has a Rating system that sometimes produces review bombs, and the direct rivalry between those fan bases would cause a lot of static. We don't need that.

I understand battle.net needing to be connected for games like Diablo, but if you really wanna take part in those games discussions, use their Battle Net forums because they are much better - the user interface I mean, not user, forum users are forum users.

Epic, previously known for Unreal Tournament and free sourcing Unreal Engine, made a game called Fortnite, and decided to also sell games and their explanation was "Steam is expensive for game devs because takes a big cut of sales". EA did leave for a time, and came back. Blizzard said it would never, but now joined Steam. Epic Store is directly antagonistic to Steam, that means competition, and that is good for the free market. If they give free games frequently, saying no to free stuff that isn't a scam - I doubt Epic Store client is unsafe, but I can never say about sharing data. It's all gray stuff.

Steam and Epic Store are, literally, Netflix and HBO, Coke and Pepsi.

They are meant to compete. And we got entitled to them showering stuff for us for free, so lets enjoy the competition thrive and quality standards are pushed even further up.

Welcome to 2024.
