Honestly I know people here are against Epic, but Google Play is such garbage that I welcome the epic store on Android.

    I have well over 300 games on Epic Games Store. I have played zero. I don’t know why I keep getting the free games every week, but Steam is where I keep buying. Eventually, I’ll play something on there.

      I’m the same way but use heroic games launcher even on windows if that is what you run. Its lite on CPU and you have access to epic gog and epic. if you like the games you played then by them on steam then.

        Heroic works great on my steamdeck, too. How I’ve played several games from gog or free epic games on it.

        I rigged up origin on the SD before there was an easier implementation to do it, though. That was like a 94 step nightmare, but Assasins Creed Black Flag runs great.

      I’m counting on Linux support becoming better. Although I guess Heroic Games Launcher is almost there already.

      I only ever played hades which I bought for €5 when it was still €15 or more on steam. But even them I just added it as a 3rd party game to steam lol.

        Judging by the downvotes, people really don’t like being told not to use our favourite DRM, huh… anyway, the reason people buy on Steam is for all the features and functions. Other than personal controller configs, most will not work with non-Steam games. Family Sharing, Remote Play, Workshop, premade controller configs, achievements, playtime, and any social features. Of course if you don’t use any of these, then supporting a smaller store is great!
