Haha whaaattt... Nobody actually does that...haha, that would be like, just kinda silly right...

Don't look at my Epic collection. Between it and Steam have a few thousand dollars in games. (If you're counting retail prices)

I have never spent a dime at EGS, but I have hundreds of games from their giveaways. I'm rich!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's what I mean. For years I have collected games off of Epic for free, yet I haven't played but one of them to completion.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow, are you me? I just finished my first EGS game a month or two ago, and that's after years of collecting games. I played on Steam Deck with Heroic, so I haven't even used their client (I claim on their website).

Not sure but can say I 100"s of hours on my Steam games though.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yup. I've completed hundreds of Steam games, I've played one EGS game. My library size isn't that different between the two (like 600-700 on Steam, 200-400 on EGS), but I spend a lot on Steam and nothing on EGS...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Same but think I close 300 on Epic and close 200 on Steam.

I played a bunch of older games i got cheap on steam deck and i'll do the same when the deckard will come out. 10/10 games that are 10+ years old are great to play on the go!

what's a deckard?

[–] Dindonmasker 2 points 5 months ago

It's valve's next VR headset. Code name deckard. It should be ready to announce this year or next year hopefully.
