Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released
Localhorst86@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I am definitely not going to pick this up.
I don’t see why I should pay $40 for a yearly subscription to an app, that
- doesn’t do anything other tools like heroic don’t already do just as good or better
- doesn’t even come with all the features promised.
- doesn’t even provide an actual continuous service that justifies a subscription (games are hosted by epic/gog.
When they launched the initial app, they promised a one-stop-solution, but actually only worked with epic.
Then they promised a GOG plugin that would become free after testing, but then decided to not do that and instead make an entirely new app.
I have no confidence they can deliver on their promised features for their app, or suddenly change their mind on the scope of their app. I can see them changing course any day, and putting further store plugins behind yet another paywall.
Compared to solutions that already exist (heroic), they offer access to the same stores, as well as amazon. The $40 junk-store can do less than the free and open-source heroic.
