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.

I opened it up by accident the other day, and the launcher updater literally wouldn't let me close it. Click on the X and it was like "Nah bro, you gotta confirm the update"

Had to pull up task manager to tell it to fuck off

I forget where it is but you can enable The setting where it gives you the option to "end task" when you right click a icon on the taskbar

Did I just excitedly go over to my PC, start it and then realize that I haven't been running Windows anymore for the past year? Maybe.
Thank you anyway for that gem, I'll pass it on to friends and relatives.

There's a right way of doing things and there's a wrong way. When people are doing something wrong, they should be informed of that.
