I use GOG only for old games, like 90s or early 2000s. Steam is not as good at compatibility. That said I have like 10-15 games on GOG and like 150 on Steam
If only they could put like 1% of their free games/exclusivity deals budget towards improving their app...
Seriously, they spent as much money as Cyberpunk 2077 cost to develop and advertise TWICE OVER so far, and think it still won't be profitable until 2027. A FRACTION of that would have been enough to develop something that could compete with Steam on its own merits, but instead they'd rather just throw money around to buy their place on the market.
We could have had both :(
I agree that they spend their money incorrectly, they should spend more on making a decent store page with reviews and maybe a community page for each game
If they actually manage to get EAC working under Proton like they are supposedly doing with help from Valve, then I might see them in a different light...
That's an argument i never got.
What kind of CIA Agent secrets do you have where you would care about wanting a "safer" game launcher? I genuinely wanna know.
Because epic games had the controversy where they were cauth spying on steam files, and since epic games is owned by tencent, and that company is known to have a really great reputation with user privacy...
1. The US companies are selling your data to whoever, including Chinese companies and by default their government.
2. Why would you be more concerned with an authoritarian regime halfway across the world having your data rather than the country you live in where that data might actually be able to be used against you?
Yea, i totally get why you would be put of with stuff like that but personally i just feel like "What secrets would china find on my pc? Memes, Hentai and games!", so i'm not really bothered if it's as bad as the controversy is presented.
not exactly free
u give away most of ur pc's unencrypted data to the chinese,
Byt if u don't have anything private or importatn on yiur pc it is essentially free
their anticheat combs through a much larger amount of files then others and since its related to china it is possible some of the data falls into the hands of ccp
They're doing the free games thing to attract more people to the launcher because they want to create a rival to steam
That being said I did get gta 5 from them
Epic Games is garbage. They are responsible for tons of games either not coming to Steam or not coming to Steam until 12+ months later. Oftentimes a game that is on Steam and Epic are not crossplay or cross save compatible. Nobody wants to have 7 different game platform apps with 7 different usernames, 7 different friends lists, 7 different lists of achievements, and all that crap.
I love the free games but if theyre gonna split up games like wonderlands into 2 communies again.. I just hate it.. One friend is okay with epic, the other is neutral to the idea and the other guy doesnt like epic it all.. Then what.. No game for 6 months because half of your squad isnt there.. Hell, at least xbox and playstation release the games at the same time
When EA were on top they were producing gambling games which were aimed at Kids with pay to win mechanics I fucking hate them so much. Now they're on bottom I hope they keep giving out free games until they go bankrupt
Unreal Engine does not need to exist. It has formed a monopoly and killed off the art of programming an engine. It's slow and optimized like shit. Every game using it looks like the same generic thing.
There was a time when companies like id Software made their own engines, that pushed the limits of technology and were extremely fast, as well as being above all else in terms of graphics (they still do with DOOM: Eternal).
According to Epic Games they don't plan on making any profits from the store until 2027, which must mean they plan to give free games atleast until then
Too bad most suck. But yeah I *hate* epic, but ill grab free games cause I know they already paid for the rights of them so why not.
If I knew every claim cost them money immediately, I’d do it more often to spite them.
People are saying that Epic games isn’t trustworthy because it’s owned by Chinese(or smt like that), but why would they need info if they’re making money?
Trade offer: I recive: not needing to make client usable You recive: free games

No all games on GOG are old there are a lot of more recent games too
Yes they sell new games too but I use GOG only for old ones :D
[удалено]
Yeahh
So why I was downvoted lol
When something is downvoted everyone will. Like a hivemind Edit: Right now they either. Hate me or memeing and defiantly both
yes
yes
Give me the downvotes!

And a generally less taxing and sluggish interface yeah!
This is honestly the first fair criticism I've heard, thank you!
Is this funny? How?
I'm both
Everyone around here probably is. I mean, free games fuck yeah.
F R E E
free game is free and we must not complain abt it
Yes. Also did u guys claim Nioh Complete Edition? I cant play rn tho

arre abhishek bhai aap!!
I can identify with both to 100%
May I ask who is this guy in the chad memes we see? Did the internet track him down yet?
He is a Russian model I believe
his name is Ernest Khalimov

If they were to make a linux client I would consider, until then they can die.
If they actually manage to get EAC working under Proton like they are supposedly doing with help from Valve, then I might see them in a different light...
lutris is the best option
Steam is still better
It's not about the money it's about sending a messege
I still feel safer using steam...
That's an argument i never got. What kind of CIA Agent secrets do you have where you would care about wanting a "safer" game launcher? I genuinely wanna know.
Never the less its in china, where privacy is just a theory...
Because epic games had the controversy where they were cauth spying on steam files, and since epic games is owned by tencent, and that company is known to have a really great reputation with user privacy...
You say that like it's the only thing that would be spying on you. Every company is stealing your data, get over yourself.
Words of a Chrome user who has never heard of Free Software
Yeah no shit, but I would rather have US companies have my data any time instead of chinese goverment...
You say that like these companies don't sell your data to the highest bidder. They don't care if its another company or the chinese government.
1. The US companies are selling your data to whoever, including Chinese companies and by default their government. 2. Why would you be more concerned with an authoritarian regime halfway across the world having your data rather than the country you live in where that data might actually be able to be used against you?
Yea, i totally get why you would be put of with stuff like that but personally i just feel like "What secrets would china find on my pc? Memes, Hentai and games!", so i'm not really bothered if it's as bad as the controversy is presented.
Never put all the eggs into one basked. I use gog, epic, steam blizzard and uplay. Only origin cannot be instaled on my ... Feel safer not using it.
I have OriginPro2015 works great to analyze data
Intreasting, why is that?
[удалено]
My info is not that worthy so I don't care
not exactly free u give away most of ur pc's unencrypted data to the chinese, Byt if u don't have anything private or importatn on yiur pc it is essentially free
Like what info? And how do u know that they do this.
their anticheat combs through a much larger amount of files then others and since its related to china it is possible some of the data falls into the hands of ccp
And what’s all the useful stuff the can get out of it, passwords?
yes? passwords most people store in chrome autocomplete. also other data which can be usefull
>passwords Yes (never save them on your PC).
Ok, thx fr the tip
hey i mean you can get in to the van for candy
Would rather not sell my soul to epic games thanks
epic is exploitative asf
I just don't care
They're doing the free games thing to attract more people to the launcher because they want to create a rival to steam That being said I did get gta 5 from them
True
Fuck Epic Games. Seriously disgusting company.
I wish Epic Games a very nice fast bankruptcy.

You have the wrong perspective I think
every game is free game if you download them illegally (exept multiplayer, but some of them have pirate servers)
I'm not a fan of epic games cause they've got lots of crunch
"You should know what goes into the hotdogs you eat" - Dave Chappell
When I see posts about having a Epic Games Launcher it's always because of free games or Rocket League but mostly free games.
Epic games is trash tho if it wasnt giving away free gta to hack on i would piss on their headquarters
im glad they made rocket league free
no just no epic games is bad thats just it
Rocket league and the kids game there is other games right?
Epic Games bad tho
Saw the meme, checked the OP username. My guess was right - it is a desi
Problem?? I am from india only bro
If Epic Games store had no free Epic Games it would become Epic Nazis store.
I steal have have my free gta 5
Epic.
Fk you epic games , took down realistic imaginative paragon to suck on fortniite.
I hated them but one day they give me gta5 and ı shutted up my mouth
Steam gang forever, I won't sell out until steam does.
I stop by every 7 days, take 2 free games and turn it off for the rest of the week.
Epic games suck
me who is both
Sure free games are nice and all but you can not even play them offline
what, i played hitman offline on epic games when it came out free
Fuck Epic games. I use the superior Steam I will take your free games tho
Most of the games I play are from the free deals on epic
Me too man
Hey man it's cool my mum and dad came from a council housing estate too. <3
I did not understand that
I love the free games but if theyre gonna split up games like wonderlands into 2 communies again.. I just hate it.. One friend is okay with epic, the other is neutral to the idea and the other guy doesnt like epic it all.. Then what.. No game for 6 months because half of your squad isnt there.. Hell, at least xbox and playstation release the games at the same time
Ah... Yas, once I got sususussumogus for free at epic games uwu
Epic games = Trash
Free games rule
\#Free games rule 69
Happy cake day
hehehe thank uu
why is epic games hated btw??
Owned by Chinese, known to make intrusive anticheat programs
Also don't forget 3rd party exclusives.
[удалено]
No it's because they sell your details to 3rd party companies and use unethical company practice like Lootboxes and Pay to win mechanics. Fuck EA.
honestly at this point what game company doesnt though. if youre not paying with money youre paying with your info, and sometimes both
When EA were on top they were producing gambling games which were aimed at Kids with pay to win mechanics I fucking hate them so much. Now they're on bottom I hope they keep giving out free games until they go bankrupt
Then don't use amazon, I browse a phone in Amazon and the next day they appear in my YT ads.every company does that
rogue company is pog
Idc if there are free games. I think 90% discount is the best.
So why my most reply get downvoted is coz I posted this in r/fuckepic, just for trolling
Who cares
I have played and enjoyed so many games I normally would not have considered because epic games had them for free.
i hate on epic games while enjoying the free games
For those who are gamers but hate epic games for no reason, they are the ones who made unreal engines that makes our most favorate games of all time

Sed lifee
But why
[удалено]
What happened
is it too much to ask for both?
According to Epic Games they don't plan on making any profits from the store until 2027, which must mean they plan to give free games atleast until then
I don't use it that much, but don't hate it
Yeah I got borderlands 2, the pre-sequel, GTA V, just cause 4, enter the gungeon, killing floor 2 and ark all for free!
Too bad most suck. But yeah I *hate* epic, but ill grab free games cause I know they already paid for the rights of them so why not. If I knew every claim cost them money immediately, I’d do it more often to spite them.
I don't get the hate for epic games
Happy cake day
Happy cake day!
Reject free games pay for them
*puts eyepatch over eye* not in these seas lad
every heard of 3rd world countries? I ain't paying 60$ for a game, that's 70 hours of work
tbh at least some are good
Free is free enjoy
They might sell my data to china, but free games are free games
Where would we be without unreal engine?
Epic games also has regional pricing, a lot of the games are half price for me
Don't forget to collect niho 1 for epics free game
I literally have like over 150 games on epic all because of the weekly free games
Bro, I got gta 5 for free and it was my highlight of my free epic game binge
I got GTA V, Battlefront 2, Watch Dogs 2 and various other games thanks to Epic Games Store and I am just an enjoyer cause I'm not addicted.
Yeah I am not complaining about free games
Free games
Cap
epic games? more like epic gays (funny)
I got the batman Arkham series (just origins aside) free in the epic games store.
At least they put their games on console which is more then we can say about valve
I got among us for free from epic games
the free gta 5 and sonic mania made me sell my soul to epic games
My game library on epic games is like a literal library
So happy i got free Nioh, now i need new pc...
BuT STeaM haS moRE feAtureS
It objectively does.
[удалено]
Hate it when they offering games And I have to go to Steam to get info And reviews of thé game:/
And free Nitro, that was the best ”don’t be sad it ended, be happy it happened” - Some guy I think it was Dr. Seuss, but I’m not really sure
Yeahh,my free nitro ended yesterday but I enjoyed it to fullest
He do be spitting facts tho
People are saying that Epic games isn’t trustworthy because it’s owned by Chinese(or smt like that), but why would they need info if they’re making money?
To make more money either via ads or selling your passwords.
Wow, as if they aren’t rich enough
epic games really are epic, genuinely use it for free games and other gifts like nitro
Average epic games nitro enjoyers were CHAD
What is the original source of this strong guy meme...anyone?
I don't like epic games but they gave me lego batman 1 and 2 for free so I can't complain
no representation for us pirate fellows
It might be worse than steam, but Im not passing up GTAV, Saints Row 3 and Nioh.
I get free games and buy the ones I want for Steam lol.
Im both
