No harm done, if you want to collect a lot of games you probably never
will play.
I still have not bought a single game from them, and won´t do so unless
they stop their exclusive s*****.

I am probably not alone in this. Most people having an Epic account do
so because either for Fortnite, or because they just fetch the free games.
The store sales never really increased or matched closely the account
numbers from what I could read.

I am also collecting games too. I still haven't downloaded and used its
launcher software. Hehe.

Part of the reason I've held off is because it's taken my a few years to
get out of the bad habit of not finishing games because something new
caught my eye.

Their half off sales + $10 coupons give some pretty sweet deals, so I
have bought several titles there.
