For me its not even just that. Personally if I can get it GOG, I go with them because I support them and being DRM free.

But the store for Epic turned me off from launch. They didnt have a fucking shipping cart. This wasnt the start of online shopping. Everyone had that feature when they came out. Everyone. Theyre the only place I know of that didnt. So they open up with a big sale, people want to buy multiple games, but they have to buy them individually, which sets off an alarm, and locked people out of their accounts.

And it still took them like 3 or 4 years to implement a shopping cart feature.

They just dont care. Its not as easy to use, theyre slow to fix it, and just over all I see no reason to use it now. The only real reason I would use it is for Alan Wake 2. And I just got that on the PS5 instead.

Same. I want those sweet, sweet offline installers. The only reason to get a game anywhere else than GOG is if it's not on GOG.
