Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?

I got pretty much the same opinion as you, probably a bit angrier about all the shit they did, with Unreal Tournament, their store and spyware and exclusives, and their unoptimized bloated game engine taking over the industry.
So no, I guess I don’t claim those games or have an account. I already have a million games I’ll never finish playing on Steam and emulators anyway.

But what’s a million more?
I’ve claimed most of the free games, but only played a few, and I’ve certainly repurchased some that I have claimed on EGS. I’ve never installed their client (I play through Heroic) and never purchased anything. It takes about 30s to claim on my phone, so I claim on the toilet each Thursday.
I like to think I’m costing EGS more money than by not doing this.
