This guy is such a loser. I will never spend a dime in the epic store
Don't play their free games, either. Your time counts as money.
Yes but it's not their money. Playing the free games might add to their monthly active user metric, but they don't run their business on MAUs.
They wouldn't do it if they didn't profit from it.
are you saying theyve got some way to monetize gaming itself? afaik the free games are supposed to get people to download their launcher and hopefully stick around, same as the bought exclusives. if you dont buy, they lose money
No. Their malware "launcher" is literally vibe-coded to collect data in every way possible, and using it for just free games is still filling their coffers. โ๐ผ
Just, don't. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
