Epic is the store where I redeem games I will never play.

I already do that on Steam and itch.io, though, is it really worth it to add a third launcher to the pile that doesn't even support Linux?

To me it's alright solely because of Heroic Games Launcher that covers the Epic Store and GOG. I must admit I rarely end up playing the games from Epic, but they do give away some really good games from time to time. To be clear, I would probably never actually buy anything from Epic for a few different reasons, but getting free games is cool.

Supposedly I'm up to over 400 games on Epic without any purchases through the platform AFAIK and I've probably played like 10 of them.
