Still not worth getting Epic. I’d literally rather pay for my games.

When a company’s products are free then you’re a free product for the company.

Says the dude using a free lemmy account.
Why even complain about this? Paid products are also harvesting your data for resale. This isn’t a unique feature of Epic.

Because Epic’s store is bad and rather than trying to compete on quality, they use anticompetitive practices such as paid exclusives to force you to use their inferior app store.
The free games as bait pulls in people to inflate their user counts artificially for investors, because from what I’ve read devs aren’t seeing a lot of purchases from their store.
And they are trying to force these terrible practices into the iOS ecosystem by abusing the legal system in multiple markets.
At the end of the day Epic’s attempt to purchase market share has already been bad for me as a consumer on one platform and it seems like they’re going to cause that same harm on another.
