3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What does Epic offer other than doing the same things Steam does but less well and in a different app?

I'm not going to count, but by my best guess I have now 100+ games on EGS that I haven't paid a penny for. For me that's a rather large incentive to have the EGS client installed on my PCs. And once I have both installed anyway, I don't see any difference between buying on Steam vs. Epic. I just use whatever is cheaper at the moment.
