Epic is stoling games from steam , like a Fall guys that was taked down from steam, even if people payed for it before it was f2p, but now they can't even play a game that they buyed , but now that game is on Epic only, and creators just stole a steam players something that they bought

I have an epic account for the sole purpose of grabbing freebies.

I've gotten a lot of great games that way, like Yooka-Laylee and Jurassic World Evolution. But of course I skip all the shovelware freebies.

Do you realize there is a lot more of shovelware (not free) on Steam? About 50k games. Heck, the PS2 had 10k games and most of them were shovelware.

Ok? All I'm saying is I don't grab the shovelware games they give away just because they're free.

Nah, apparently people that had the game on Steam can still play it through Steam, in conjunction with Epic players. I say apparently because I did not have the game here, so I can't confirm. But that's what they're saying:

You and most everyone there. There are two kinds of Epic users. Fortnite players, and people who are there for freebies. Tim is hoping you guys will suddenly open your wallets and become paying customers, but it's been years and so far that ain't happening.

Hey, enjoy the free games though. I'm not going to fault you for that in the slightest. Epic's loss is your gain I say.

I try and buy everything I can on Steam.

But a deal is a deal, and if I find something on Epic I'll buy it.

Sad part is I bought maybe 6 games on Epic, but have like 40 free ones lol.

Three years ago, I totally would've suggested getting an Epic account for the weekly free games.

But if you don't have an account by now, don't waste your time. The sale prices aren't good and their free games are pretty pathetic. There's no reason to bother now.

So Killing Floor 2 is pretty pathetic?

Never played it.

But if a six-year old co-op game is the best game they have to offer, then yeah, that's pathetic.

Epic's free games have been pretty good, I've got the following for free (just posting the note worthy IMO):
-A plague tale
-Amnesia Rebirth
-Borderlands 3
-Cave Story +
-Control
-Daemon X Machina
-Enter the Gungeon
-The Escapist
-Metro Last Light Redux
-Nioh "complete edition"
-Prey
-Remnant from the Ashes
-Rise of the Tome Raider
-Shadow of the Tombraider
-The first of the newer Tomb Raider games
-Saints Row the Third remastered
-Rouge Legacy
-The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
-Starwars Battlefront 2
-Wolfenstine The New Order
-Yooka Laylee
-Yooka Laylee 2

And a TON of other games. It's very much worth it IMO to have an account.

No one said it's the best they have to offer, you're the one implying that because you're uninformed. Every now and then they give AAA games, last Xmas they gave 3 Tomb Raider games at once.

Long ago they gave the Batman collection, too bad I missed that.

Did you read my post about the game removed from Steam?

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

I was talking about this game:

It's an illusion that Steam is safer. They'll put any game on the store if you give Steam 100 bucks.

Currently, there is another game accused of doing that, but wasn't removed yet.
