Comment on Guy never bought a game on the Epic Store... Owns 200+

  I just like to own the things I own. And I’m more worried about someone hijacking my account because they want some bullshit inventory item or something than getting banned for something toxic. Account theft is sadly still pretty common.

    You don’t own anything on Epic either. Epic is actually significantly worse for people losing their accounts and having no way of recovering them.

    If for some reason I lost access to my Stream account I would just pirate copies of the games I’ve already purchased.

      The same applies for Epic as well regarding piracy. Again it’s just a matter of diversifying.

      If I had to rebuy 100% of my games, Id never adopt Epic at all. Atleast this way the library has something of value as an alternative without costing me a fortune.
