New info from the Epic v Google trial shows that in 2018, Google had floated the idea of teaming up with Tencent to buy full 100% ownership of Epic Games.
Eh, I haven’t spent a dime on EGS, so it’s whatever. Steam gets my money because they improve my gaming experience on my chosen platform (Linux), and no amount of free games will replace that.
If EGS officially supported Linux and invested in the platform, I’d care more. The only thing I’d legitimately be worried about is Unreal Engine, I’m worried Google would screw it up trying to make it mobile first or something.

My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
The day that happens, will be the day I delete my account.
No amount of free games can justify the amount of spy-ware Google/Tencent will bring to the table.
not like Tencent already owns 40%
Oh my, did not know that, but now I’m srsly tempted to already delete my account D:
