Because people only use the scam store for free games i assume.

Scam store? Granted I havent used the EGS in a while but never had any issues playing the games I bought. Did it change hands recently?

EGS allows AI generated content in games and NFT games. Back then Steam harshly banned NFT games while EGS openly welcomed them, and what’s a bigger scam than that?

It's more that people are pissed at them and, in typical internet fashion, will call them anything that comes to mijd. They do suck tho

Can confirm, this has been me for years. I have like 200 games and maybe purchased 3-5 where most of them were heavily discounted and could use those coupons they gave out for extra discounts. The only thing I play is fall guys and I got that before epic took it.
