I’d pirate the shit out of it instead of getting it free on there

Not sure if you can use this on steam deck via epic, but this is a great casual steam deck game I’d highly recommend

Heroic Launcher should enable anyone who‘s wondering how to install games from different launchers on their deck.
I‘ve only done it for the Ninja Turtles game and it didn‘t work right away - had to follow a protondb entry from a few weeks after my initial attempt to install dependencies - so be prepared to tinker; it‘s not as hassle-free as a direct Steam install.

Heroic is great. Especially with the upcoming umu integration, it’s as seamless as it gets. Plus if you install anything from there, you also get a choice to add it to your steam library for easy access

Just got a copy a couple weeks ago from GOG. Excellent little game

I was excited until I read epic store.

Wow, what a great community, the moderator must be very cool and handsome!
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
All the people are saying it, so it must be true.

Funny too!

I got GTA V for free on the epic store.
I kind of want to play it but I don’t want to download their launcher.
Hmmmm…. 🏴☠️
lud@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Use a third party launcher.

Wouldn’t I have to install epic game store though?

Dredge is amazing. If you don’t like Epic, please consider buying it elsewhere. The devs deserve the support and you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. Cosy cosmic horror fishing game turned out to be an excellent combination.

Epic is destroying the fabric of reality!!!
mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week ago
There’s another site that has it. And for more than 24h! And it has a greater community! It’s related with a girl that is fit somehow.

Time for the weekly Valve fuckbois griping about how Epic is destroying the fabric of reality.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 week ago
On one hand: I also hate Epic.
On the other: It’s free. When did everyone start bitching even about the free games? Claiming all the free games and never actually using the store, if anything, hurts Epic. So do it.

Don’t bother trying to understand it. They’ll tell you it’s because Epic is “anti-consumer”, while ignoring anything Valve does that’s shitty. The same people will post in other threads how there’s “no good billionaires”, then come to this community and post shit like “all hail our savior, Lord GabeN”.
In truth, it boils down mostly to them seeing PC gaming as Valve’s fiefdom, and Epic is aggressively trying to force their way into the market, which upsets them. The fact they feel comfortable putting all of PC gaming into the hands of a single mega corporation is insane, because when Valve inevitably goes under, we’re going to lose a lot of gaming history all at once. Not to mention, it was Steam that was responsible for the advent of not owning the games you buy, something I consider to be one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming.

It might still be free on prime gaming as well, for those that have it. At least it was a week ago.

Epic games store can’t even buy my love… I cannot forgive the abuse. Exclusives have no place in PC gaming. Stop trying to make them happen.
essteeyou@lemmy.world 1 week ago
So funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Because Epic does everything it can to be anti-competitive, because they don’t actually want to be competition they just want to be the monopoly.
GOG doesn’t operate that way, they just try to compete by offering a good service,
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
It would be great if Steam had competition! They’re pretty good for what they are, but I’d rather not have to trust them to be so nice.
stardust@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
People don’t have to be forced to use GOG so there’s people that actually like them, and offering DRM free games with offline installers is pretty pro consumer.
Cris16228@lemmy.today 1 week ago
This!
indog@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
From a consumer’s point of view, does it matter if the exclusive is de facto or de jure? If I have no choice but to do business with Valve and Steam to play a game on PC, it seems to me that that game is a Steam exclusive. And there are thousands of Steam exclusives, but only a handful of Epic exclusives.
ExperiencedWinter@lemmy.world 1 week ago
It doesn’t seem like you’re paying attention… Steam didn’t buy the publisher of a popular game, and have it removed from the Epic game store so that it could be their exclusive. That was Epic and the game was rocket league. If epic wanted to compete “from a consumer’s point of view” they would make a better product than steam, but their store is still missing features

What does that have to do with Dredge?
