Epic is in stage 1 of enshittification. They will offer a great deal (at their economic expense) to capture users and providers.

It isn't enshittification because they never had a high-quality product to offer.

That's just called capitalism. And yes, it makes everything shit.

I've gotten a ton of free games on epic but I'm pretty sure I've yet to buy a game on there.

Same! I’ll take the free games. But there is no point in buying from them until their client has feature parity with Steam and has given back the way Steam has.

Until then, it’s just a bad value.
