Hmm. Let's see here...

Steam: 147
GOG: 174
Epic: 286

I've paid for about 2/3 of the Steam games, probably a quarter of the GOG ones, and maybe two or three of the Epic ones.

I got the tomb raider games and the screaming baby package delivery hideo Kojima game I can't remember the name of right now, and some stuff I've never played, and that's it. Worth it.

Death Stranding. Good game, I bought it on steam on discount and it's great.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 1 points 3 weeks ago

It gave me a new way to look at things, like good art does.

Yup, I'm at 372 free games on epic, plus 3 bought ones, and 2 key activations. It's amazing.

I like Epic as much as anyone but why would you want your library filled with bloat?

[–] wreckedcarzz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then you'd need the epic store/launcher, so...

There is legendary which is command line and Heroic which is legendary with gui without telemetry from epic. Heroic also does gog but gog doesnt require a launcher anyways.

Funfact, I have restricted work computer (windows). Certain websites are blocked and installing anything requires remote access by IT to enter admin password (they dont give admin rights temporarily). But it has pip installed.

pip install legendary
legendary install app-name
legendary run app-name

You can also create a shortcut and set the target as 'legendary run app-name'. I also have over 300 games I collected from epic. I don't condone gaming on work time, but it feels nice I can run something other than browser games during compiling and other downtime.
