I really want to see what percentage of 'users' licenses are actually paid, and/or what average percentage of 'users' titles are just free. I have precisely one game I have paid for on Epic (Satisfactory, because I was excited for first person factorio) but I have over 100 titles in my library. I have to wonder how many of those free games I would have to download before the server costs completely eat the profit from that one copy of Satisfactory.

Lol I'm exactly the same I saw early footage of satisfactory and bought it and now I regret it because I have it on epic instead of steam. All of my other games on epic are the free giveaways. Pro tip you can use heroic launcher instead of epic to play your free games so you don't have to start their god awful launcher!

Made the switch to Bazzite at the end of 10 so I love Heroic.
