  • Steam: 1325
  • GoG: 174
  • Epic: 406

Epic and GoG I've not bought a single thing from either of them, that's all free shit. For Steam, most of that is stuff that's been accumulated from Humble Bundles and just from having an account for ~20 years now. If I were to just quit my job and game full-time for the rest of my life, there's probably more games to play in my collection than I have years left to live.

I got the tomb raider games and the screaming baby package delivery hideo Kojima game I can't remember the name of right now, and some stuff I've never played, and that's it. Worth it.

Death Stranding. Good game, I bought it on steam on discount and it's great.

It gave me a new way to look at things, like good art does.

Yup, I'm at 372 free games on epic, plus 3 bought ones, and 2 key activations. It's amazing.

Yeah, but then you'd need the epic store/launcher, so...

There is legendary which is command line and Heroic which is legendary with gui without telemetry from epic. Heroic also does gog but gog doesnt require a launcher anyways.

Funfact, I have restricted work computer (windows). Certain websites are blocked and installing anything requires remote access by IT to enter admin password (they dont give admin rights temporarily). But it has pip installed.

  • pip install legendary
  • legendary install app-name
  • legendary run app-name

You can also create a shortcut and set the target as 'legendary run app-name'. I also have over 300 games I collected from epic. I don't condone gaming on work time, but it feels nice I can run something other than browser games during compiling and other downtime.
