Nearly 150 games for $0, past few years
They must have made a lot of money on Fortnite... and have a sustainable business model. Wonder how they convince devs to give a game away? Just give them a million dollars or some shit? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can't just take a PS game and play it on an Xbox if not for their policies. They are separate platforms, EGS, Steam, GOG are retailers. What EGS does would be like GameStop buying exclusive right to sell the next GTA and saying they only way to get it is to show up in store and sign up for a power-up account. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Stores enticing companies to make them the exclusive provider of their products is a thing that's been around for an extremely long time. Especially if you're starting out in an area with little competition (where Steam had a virtual monopoly on digital PC gaming) it can help make you a little more competitive.

I have never seen games getting deleted from uplay or origin. I heard rumors of games on Origin being sold with 2 year licenses back in like 2011 but... that was a decade ago lol.

It's in the eula. I read a few articles about it about year ago I think. I think if you're inactive for a year or two then they can delete the games. Lost all my ea and ubisoft games. Bf3, me, fc bd etc yeah the games were quite old but it still kinda sucked. Steam account was fine tho. I think I was inactive for about a year and a half was on a console kick for a while and my last pc died. So try not to go to prison or anything like that or games gone. Also lost all my ubi points never used them for anything but I think you could get in game dlc with them? --- You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P ...

I wonder how long a epic account lasts?They *can* do it, because it's their service, but that doesn't mean they *will* do it, and they have to notify you beforehand and there's an appeals process to recover deleted accounts if it does get to that point.
