I don't understand this way of thinking tbh. Its free. Who cares. I never buy anything on epic. I just claim and play free games they give away. I don't fanboy any corporation.
Because that way you give relevancy to that platform, and let it take your data.
Fuck Epic, they should make better products, not give away free shit.
If they ever get any relevant amount of users, they will enshittify so hard you won't believe it.
Yes, Epic launcher is shit. But steams features aren't all it is praised to be either. I like some of it like the recording feature and steam link. But ANYTHING on steam involving community is absolute garbage. Guides are just meme bullshit. Discussion forums for games are filled with hate speech, points farming and incels. Screenshots is a ton of sexual stuff. Their customer service is horrific. Moderation is almost non existent. CS2 is a gambling similator filled with underaged addicts and Valve profits a ton from them.
I own a steam deck and use it everyday. But only for games because any Steam aspect involving the platform is absolute shit.
So besides games being discounted a ton, Steam is pretty shit and Valve doesn't give a shit because they rake in money while sitting on their asses.
If you have to install Epic launcher to play it, you might as well pirate. Your odds of installing spyware on your system are much lower on the high seas.
Or just use something like Heroic Games Launcher instead:

You don't need an epic launcher to play any of their free games.
Free is free
You don't need any epic products to play epic games.
Don't you need an Epic account and the Epic store, which are Epic products?
While it would have been nice for OP to mention this, honestly dude, fuck off. People can decide for themselves if they want to install Epic for a free title without this kind of toxic, elitist discourse.
Wizard of legend is a free game...

It's worth playing, I've been playing the hell out of this game for the last month.
If you want it in a more convenient way, it's probably $3 on steam now (at least it was during the autumn sale).
Edit: at time of writing it's $4.79 on steam, still a steal.
This is a great game
Excellent couch co-op, which is a rarity nowadays.
I don't remember when this game got in my steam library but it feels like it's always been there.
It's a blast. Really good game. I played it all the time cause it was one of the few that actually ran well on my T530
