More evidence people will pay extra to avoid splitting up their gaming library.

      I refuse to play games on epic simply because I hate Epic and I won’t go into detail. Rather pay Steam for the game any day.

        That’s fine and perfectly valid, Tim Sweeney is a dick, I just get perturbed if people call a fairly innocuous piece of software malware. Like if nothing else at least the devs are making a chunk of cash for these freebie giveaways. I even saw something the other day where a dev said they saw Steam sales double because of a free giveaway on Epic.
