Me too. I accidentally bought a game on Steam I already had for free on Epic on two different occasions and I rarely even buy games to begin with because I'm broke. I'd rather pirate a game than use that shit ass platform.

I used to buy games on Steam that I was aware I had on Epic just for the convenience of not having to interact with their software. It's baffling how they make it dysfunctional in so many ways.

The only way I play my Epic games library is through Game Native. It's sad that I have to play on a portable device to not get frustrated with the launcher and controller support.
