Why would you need to be able to gift a free game? That’s all that people get there, isn’t it?
Who cares? Fuck Epic.
Still wont use it.
Such cutting edge features like this will surely drive steam out of business!
XD
Cool.
I would like the ability to see what games I have in my library without having to use the desktop app. Why can’t I just use the website to double check?
Oh cool they made it to 2011.
Ooh, maybe they’ll make a Linux client next! That was 2013 for Steam.
Cool. Maybe next year they’ll figure out to make a captcha that fucking works.
Cool, anyway, I’m just gonna keep buying from steam
Or GoG.
This. Gog doesn’t force you to use their launcher and most games are DRM free.
If you think it’ll be an inconvenience to split your library, check out Playnite. It’s a unified launcher for all of your game libraries, and it works really, really well. Nice clean UI, easy management with lots of filtering options, and integrations for every game library out there.
I want to use their launcher, but can’t, because they refuse to support it on Linux. That doesn’t feel great. Yeah, I can use Heroic, but I can use that for EGS as well. Offline installers aren’t nearly as valuable if that means I need to mess with WINE myself.
Steam eliminates all of that headache for me and gives me a first class experience. Buying from GOG feels like so much of a downgrade, so I have to convince myself to do it every time. I like that they’re DRM-free, but many of my Steam games at DRM-free as well, so it’s not a huge value add for me.
Honestly, most of my GoG library are free key I get from our family prime sub. I play them on my Deck using Heroic launcher, for example I’ve got Dredge for free on Gog and brought the Dlc expansion later. Everything worked like a charm on the Deck (Heroic launcher).
