!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I'd rather pay to not use that godawful platform. Yes I know that's stupid in certain ways but my hate for Tim Swiney is simply that strong
There are ways to skip their launcher entirely amd use alternatives. Legendary and heroic launcher for example on Linux, there are probably some on windows as well.
These both work on Windows, to my knowledge
The vast majority of freebies are DRM free...
I'm not referring to DRM.
Launchers are a form of DRM, get DRM free games and you won't need a launcher.
I'm still not referring to DRM. I'm saying Epic is a shitty platform that I hate enough to pay money to avoid. Get some reading comprehension. Further, you're not even entirely correct.
Man, if you hate him so much you should take the freebies that they pay money for and not buy anything from the platform.
