Always on steam. I buy game in full price when i really want to play it or i just wait for sale. I use steam game wishlist as my bookmark. Still prefer game with steam cloud.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

I din't even claimed free games on Epic since a few weeks or months.

I'd rather buy the games I really want on steam or gog then play them on epic even if it's meant free.

[Bagel]

I rather put value into my games so that I can set up expectations and demands. Instead of leeching off of EPIC.

YES!

I'd honestly pay MORE for games WITHOUT DRM.

I like the idea of ownership more than "games as a service" crap or "denuvo" slowing everything down and causing stuttering to punish paying customers for the "possible" actions of hackers.

[Ganger]

Only fanboys would pay money for a game on steam that is totally free on epic games store. Rest of us aren't that silly and will simply take the free game and save money and vice versa.

End of the day, that money saved will go towards my mortgage or my saving account which is more important to me that filling valves or epics pockets.

i'd rather keep most of my games on one launcher

I don't even bother with redeeming Epic's free games. I have enough backlog on my Steam library already.
I didn't bother much either when GOG allowed to bring some Steam titles back to their service back then. Sometimes it's simply not worth the time for some.

Some people consider having the bells and whistles of having a game on their Steam library enough to make the expense worth it, no sillyness or fanboyism. Over the years I've bought some EA games on Steam over Origin for the same reason.

[Babi Gendut]

Nah, I'm not financially benighted like most people here. If epic offer me a game that I'm going to buy for free, I'll claim it, and use the money to buy the dlc or other games.

[☎need4naiim☎]

Epic can give ENTIRE GAMING LIBRARY as free.

I will still not create a profile there, let alone playing a game in that hole.

I hope this is enough of an answer to introduce my stance against them. As long as 腾讯控股有限公司 is there, i am not stepping a foot inside.

I'm DONE with having any other "platforms" than I already have.

I also really don't like Epic's business practices and anti-consumer "PC Exclusives" crap along with Tencent being a major board position stockholder part of the communist Chinese government, as well as no user reviews or forums, just to name a few reasons why I don't like them.

Free games or not, I won't use their platform/launcher.

Each to their own, if your happy too throw money away and pay for something that is free then it's upto you. Me on the other hand will get the free game and save that money and then put it away for a rainy day.

Again I'm not talking about the game but about the added perks of owning it on Steam.

The game can be free in Epic. But the achievements or paytime hours won't count in Steam, for example. And that's worth paying money for some.

To put another example, I'll buy a movie DVD over the chance of getting the same movie free in VHS tape. I won't even bother getting it free on VHS.

Not everybody is stupid for not accepting every free gift offered to them. They ain't pokemons.

I have Steam, Uplay, Origin (whatever it's called now) and BNet installed in my computer. At a certain point they become too many. Specially considering each of them have their own different online presence. There's a limit at how many social sites or online services one can manage effectively.

[Jefft]

Steam ALL the way. I happily pay extra to devs I appreciate, even if it's cheaper or even free elsewhere.
