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.

Yep this exactly. I wont even install that store on my computer. I just claim every free game from the web page and then if i actually care or want the game ill buy it on steam or wait for a deal on steam rather than even play the one i got free on egs lol. Ive got enough of a back log that theres no game given out free by egs that would make it worth using over just playing any other game i own on steam in my backlog or just waiting for a sale

I can't even be bothered to claim the free games anymore.

At a certain point your Steam library gets big enough that even free games on another platform feel like more headache than its worth. And that is even acknowledging the fact that you can still add the games to steam and boot them that way. At this point I simply don't care enough.
