    My launcher shows that I have 379 games from Epic. Not DLC, not demos. Full games.

    I have never given Epic a single cent and I never will. (That is to say, until they offer me something that makes me want to use their platform). They have no killer features - AT ALL.

      The “killer feature” is that they pay more to the developers, so if you are getting the exact same game on (e.g.) Steam versus Epic Games, then whomever actually made the game gets more money from the Epic sale. Isn’t that a good thing?

      (Note that I may be conflating the publisher with the developer, but either way, it’s still the case that less money is taken by intermediaries, which is a good thing.)

          Yes, I do, or else I wouldn’t have mentioned it. I’d prefer the publisher gets money over a middleman store. Isn’t that preferable?

              How about you write what you mean and have quality conversation in the future?

                How about you write what you mean

                I did. Its a standard phrase used by people in conversation. See defintion #2 below.

                Below definition is from here

                you think

                1. A question one uses at the end of a sentence to express uncertainty. We’re not going to get into trouble—you think?
                2. A sarcastic rhetorical question used as a retort when someone states the obvious. A: “Wow, I bet that fire is really hot.” B: “You think?”

                and have quality conversation in the future?

                Quality is in the eye of the beholder, apparently. /shrug

      I spent about $600 with epic. All of that was on fortnite skins. None of it on games.
