  With GOG you can download all game files to your local storage and play them even if GOG goes to shit. Thats the difference. But yes Steam is the same as Epic in that regard.

    You commented on a post about a dude who never bought from Epic but still has 200 games there, that Epic is shady for doing this.

    I said by that logic, GOG is shady as well, because they also give away tons of games.

    Steam was never mentioned or the business practices of different store fronts.

      Epic doesnt give games away. They give temporary licenses to games away, that they can always take from you. Epic uses this to get people onto and dependent on their platform so they can then extract money from them. GOG has no way to extract money from people like that and has no leverage against their customers.

        What are you even talking about? Why is Epic “extracting money” but GOG is not? Do you mean if you lose your games on Epic you will buy them again on Epic? Nobody does that, and it doesn’t happen in the first place.
