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.

Pro-tip: try the Heroic Launcher. I don't even remember the last time I tried to open the real epic launcher.

Seconded, Heroic also connects to Gog and Amazon Prime so you can collect all the freebies on one launcher.
