Lol No, fuck Epic. I'm saying don't brag about shit that doesn't matter. Like "Hooray, I'm playing right into their marketing scheme. Surely they must be furious!"

That's certainly an opinion. Mine is that participating in leeching their freebies and not actually engaging in the platform in a meaningful way costs them money with zero benefit. They're giving away games to get people into their ecosystem. If players aren't participating in the ecosystem, then it's not working and just costing money. This is techbro 101.

You're entitled to your opinion. But you're not changing my mind on this.
