Yep, I used to pick up the free games, then realized I’d never play any of them because I expressly do not want to deal with the EGS launcher.
It sucks, because it really is better for the devs, but steam is just so much better
not in the long term it’s not
This is said a lot but... Is it really? And if so why should I, the customer, care?
I can't think of any other good or service in my life that I would go out of my way to buy from an alternative store so that the manufacturer makes more money. I don't choose between Aldi and Whole Foods based on whether the manufacturer of my chicken bullion cubes makes more margin with one or the other. It's just fuckin weird.
