I haven’t spent a single dollars on EGS, only collecting the freebies since it launched.
I do buy games on GOG whenever possible, as their core mission (make classic games DRM-free) is appealing to me.
For real GOG supports actual game ownership. Steam supports game flexiabilty of OS with all their linux support (and now arm!).
I Patron/Librepay indies/foss devs.
EGS’s biggest proclaimed difference is that offer less to devs/customera and offer big studios better margins.

Like why the hell would this convince me?
Same. But not only that, I know a few instances where I played a free epic game, liked it and went ahead and bought the game on steam or GOG.
Yeah I don’t even see gog and steam as direct competitors (obviously they are)
classic games I expect to run standalone thru a .exe exclusively bought on gog
games with integrated multiplayer/social stuff exclusively bought on steam
That’s basically the entire market 🤷♀️
