Piracy is jsut objectively better. Well unless you need game patches then its painful.
I don't understand this one because it's not like when streaming services fractured and you have to pay for each one. It's all free shit to me with the minor inconvenience of a different login.
Incidentally they also treat devs way better than Valve does. If there's no way to buy direct from the devs then they'll get a bigger cut from Epic store sales than Steam sales.
