Smh. 

I have had PSN+ since it started.  Total number of free games claimed? 1. Journey. That's it.

You're that lazy not to click 2 buttons. You never know when your tastes may change or you may crave a certain genre and by your own laziness will have  to pay for it. It's foolish to me but it is your own choice to be lazy.

Lazy yes, but also I have been doing RPGs almost exclusively for over a decade.  I already have a back catalog of 100+ physical games from back in the day.  I don't remember many RPGs being offered that I didn't already own.

I’ll be honest - you might as well quit gaming while you are at it.

There’s far bigger issues to worry about than a store going down.

Yeah, I never understood that line of thought. "If I can't have something forever, I don't want it at all. Enjoying the time with something while it lasts is no option."

With that attitude you will never buy a pet (it will die in a few years anyways) or marry (perhaps she dies before me or leaves me after a few decades/years) or buy a cars (which probably won't last more than two decades, perhaps even sooner after a car accident).

Oh, you'd like to pay $1500 for a purebred animal? Sure, just sign this ridiculous contract that amounts to me (the breeder) having all legal ownership of said animal until the end of time. That means I (the breeder) can take said animal away from you for any reason at any time. You have no rights to the animal you just purchased! If the animal has puppies, I have all legal rights to them as well! Also, there's a ticking time bomb in your new pet, which will go off unless, I keep my servers up to date from now until the day the animal dies. 

What's that? You're finding a different breeder? Why? 

You can imagine a similar scenario playing out with the wedding issue. Something like a ridiculous prenup, that gives the father of the bride all legal control over everything in your life. 

Or imagine a car dealership telling you that you cannot have the car worked on, except by their ridiculously expensive mechanic. Oh, and nobody can drive the car but you. And you can't sell the car to anybody but the dealership. Etc, etc. 

Oh, and BTW it's not about owning something forever. Its about having the rights to what I purchased.

Mineyhatting exclusives just because they have alot of money to burn. For me its anticonsumers because they are basically forcing use to use their launcher. Atm epic store doesnt have things that exist on steam like buying from a online store thats cheaprr and than uaing the keys on steam. 

I always believe if u have faith in ur product , let users decide which ti use especially if u claim u are cheaper to steam and give more to devs.

But you support 3rd party exclusives or 3rd party timed exclusives on consoles?



dane007 on 07 April 2019

I know lol. They are doing what rich coporatiom normally do. They think they can do what they want cause how much money they have to burn. Thats what i meant by above the law. These practices should be banned and made against the law  😂.

lol, Epic has done nothing that is against "the law", at most they are acting against "gamer morals", but those clearly aren't based on capitalism



dane007 on 07 April 2019

I am saying no lol. I ak not going to support them because they are giving away free games. I rather just pay on steam and support steam instead lol.

I do not believe this poll. No one says no to free games.

I did sign up but only because I already had the launcher from when Unreal Tournament was at least semi-relevant
