If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. This isn't a tween safe space. That much should be obvious.

Already had it and even if I didn't...I really don't want anything from Epic. They leave a nasty smell in the air and have been complicit in screwing over too many gamers for me to be comfortable taking things from them or even installing their launcher.
Your choice. I however have an ever-growing library of very fun games completely for free. I also bought Jedi Order and Squadron for 13 bucks due to their coupon, which is a steal. Amnesia Rebirth, 15 bucks. Journey to a Savage Planet for 6. I can go on for a while. I'm a happy chap, and I bet my left testicle that the CPU spike reddit drama will turn out to be fuck-all.

Given just how slimy most politicians and the Beltway crowd are, I suppose you sent back your "stimulus" money.

No. I never got it in the first place because I live in a country where the majority of the population is not batshit crazy and does their due diligence. Yeah we have some hardships due to corona but not because we let the fucking virus run wild. As far as I know we have zero cases of community spread and the few cases we did have were dealt with fast and were not a threat to the population for any significant period of time.
7 total deaths due to corona. And none recently.
Less anyone think I'm dunking on the USA, I'm not. But you did elect a total insane, dipshit president and reveled in all his bullshit for four years. Now you have the result sitting in your laps and so many of you are still drinking the koolaid.

All that is fine and I don't have an issue with free games in general. I just don't want any from Epic. Hell sketchy shit is coming out about what their launcher is doing in the background now. I'm fine missing out if it means that I can avoid all that drama.

Interesting point.
Though the developer studio would be more at fault even if sharing the sin with the tempter.
Maybe Epic's money helped the studio stay open or start producing another game ?
But Epic's tactic is pretty amazing :
Promoting PC gaming to,
- New gamers that got to play games only because they were free.
- Old gamers trying and discovering games they wouldn't have bought.
- Poor gamers unable to buy even cheap games in these troubled times, getting some incredible gifts (Grand Theft Auto V premium edition, Remnant From the Ashes, both Watch Dogs, etc, etc).
I have some 1300 steam games, never bought 1 game anywhere else, unless it was a key I could redeem on Steam.
I respect your stance and liked reading it, opinions give valuable and sometimes eye opening perspective.
But also, I truly love Epic Games Store for 119 games, so far (not counting ones in Steam too).
Like never before on Thursdays, my heart soars that day

After the CP2077 debacle, what is the smell you find coming from gog?
I never had GOG or CDPR up on a pedestal. The Witcher games were great, but I don't go out of my way to buy from GOG. Got a few games from them but I don't pretend to try to buy from them exclusively.
In any case... they don't snatch away kickstarted and funded games from the people that funded them. Which is my first and foremost problem with Epic. If they want to fund games from the ground up. More power to them. I'm not going to buy from their store and I can wait patiently until it gets to a store that I do want to buy from.
The CP2077 debacle as you call it affected console owners...which I am not and really could not care less about. They certainly don't care for me when publishers are snubbing PC gamers and/or making crummy ports to PC. So what is your point exactly?
