The worst part of all this is epic used to be good, they made great games, supported modders, released tons of free content, went the extra mile etc. Then they went Microsoft and packed Games for Widows Live, which was so bad it killed the services subscription and the rest is history.....I wish they were.

Somewhere, in the far distance, if you listen closely.. you can hear Conan Obrien having a meltdown.

My most played games lately are Vintage Story and Factorio. Both bought directly from the developers through their own website.

How are you liking vintage story? I've been trying to get into it but struggling lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Pretty much finished all the content except the most recent update. Probably 1000+ hours, certainly 100s in it. Didn't struggle too much but I have played it back since before seasons and food spoilage was in the game and I played a lot of TFC modded MC before I found VS which some of the mechanics are quite heavily inspired by.

Recently tried playing as a nomad for a bit, kept on the same save but dropped all my stuff and reset my character and went hunter class. Then went on a 100km expedition down through the warmer biomes and grabbed a bunch of seeds, like soybean and rice that can be a bit harder to get in the more temperate biomes. Took those back home with me.

Fuck I miss just having the game's executable.

That’s gog, itch, or epic

Definitely not Epic? No idea where you got that. They downstall like Steam does. GOG and Itch, yes. I got Micro Mages off of itch and its a cool game.

I hate Epic Games simply on the principle that Tim Sweeney is an asshole. He despises Steam and yet he can't make a better storefront. He sues Google and Apple so he can drive his little exotic cars around the block. Also he hates Linux gamers for whatever reason. No problem man, I don't want to play Shitnite anyway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

I'm petty. I don't like Sweeny because he declared PC was dead back during the Xbox era. Then decided PC wasn't dead and came crawling back bringing his shit house store and console exclusivity bullshit with him.

Imagine having Fortnite money and all you can deliver is the EGS. Yeah free games are cool I guess but it's like the laziest approach regarding actually engineering and developing a solution

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have plenty of epic free games. And I prefer to install fitgirl version of a game rather than epic's one.

I don't think I've ever installed any of those free games.

Fuck Epic, provide better service or fuck off. Using money to kill competition means they will turn around as soon as they can.

G*mers when you don't use their monopolistic service: 😑

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

I've never had issues with getting refunds through steam. I've never successfully gotten a refund through epic.

you can enjoy your free games if you want, but it isn't a better service and pretending otherwise is delusional.

Which one is bringing exclusives to PC and working against Linux gaming?

Epic gives away good free games from to time. While Steam is my primary, I still hop into Epic to play my free copies of Hell Let Loose and Fall Guys from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah they periodically lose private information, such as adresses, email adresses and credit card information. But that's the price you have to pay to get a "free" game.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Don't have yo put in credit card info for the free games iirc

I ended up deleting my Epic account. It was full of free games that I had never played once and had no interest to.
