I ended up deleting my Epic account. It was full of free games that I had never played once and had no interest to.

I spent ages collecting the free games. Then the Steam Deck came along and I changed my PC to Linux. Then I repurchased all the games I wanted to play on Steam anyway. Then I don't have to set up Epic or worry about save game sync.

Same except the push for me was in my "degoogling" process. Epic wouldn't accept an email address from Proton. They said I needed a "legitimate email" and then locked my account till I provided one. That was the push I needed to dump them completely. Truly, I haven't even thought about missing it since leaving.

My epic account uses disroot email, 0 issues. My wife has a mailo email.

I don't understand why they wouldn't accept it. Haven't had that issue anywhere else. Even went back and forth with customer service through my old email and over telephone and got nowhere.

I am gaming happily on Linux though. Using both Epic and Steam. ๐Ÿ‘

I know Epic can be set up. I just found it easier to spend a bit of money rather than time to set up Epic. I've distro hopped a bunch of times and needed to reinstall Steam OS on my Deck once. It's just more convenient to get all my games on Steam.

Heroic games is the easy way to do Epic Games Store. I actually prefer it to Steam for my library management. Somewhere along the line Steam became a bit of a resource hog.

  1. Install Heroic
  2. Log in to Epic

I dunno man. Not sure I would re-buy everything if I were you, but it's fine. I can relate to having everything in one place, for sure!
