    Epic does sales where they release free games periodically. It’s great for people who like cloud gaming like Geforce Now.

      I claim the free games and occasionally play a few through Heroic, but I have never and probably will never spend a dime there because everything there is a net negative:

      • no Linux support, even for games with Linux builds
      • same prices as pretty much everywhere else
      • no unique features, and lacks many features compared to Steam

      Pretty much the only reasons imo to use it are Fortnite and free games, and I don’t need an account to claim and play free games. So since I don’t play Fortnite and have forbidden my kids to play it, EGS has nothing to offer for me.
