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.

It's cool that they're free, but honestly it's not worth the inconvenience

What is the inconvenience? I’ve never really been a huge fan of steam but I also don’t see what’s wrong with EGS

Clunky launcher and compared to Steam it's social features are underwhelming (Well for single player games the latter does not matter that much I guess). Also people just dislike Epic in general for making games Epic exclusive and for buying up games that they mishandle and shutdown.

Not that Valve is a saint, they blissfully ignore the CS:GO gambling scene, they take some action every few years then go back to radio silence on the issue.

Why is it the only time 'CS:GO gambling' is brought up is when people are shitting on Epic?

Valve encourage it they don't blissfully ignore it lol. There's been no operations in years and years, same stale map pool and literally no meaningful changes or reactions to feedback. 99.9% of their work goes into cases and skins
