Yep, played the yar har edition, it was a pretty good experience up until a major bug prevented me from picking up a key in late game. It's a good game notwithstanding that, I'd be happy to pay for it - on my platform of choice, where my library has been since before the Epic Game Store even existed.

I recently picked up Dead Island 2 legally because it released on Steam, and it had some bullshit Epic software trying to install in the background to verify your account. Thankfully you can disable it from config.ini, but it still asks you to log in every time you start the game. That's some fucking shameful shit, and I would be more concerned about Steam's near-monopoly status on PC gaming if they tried half the shit Epic did, but until that day comes, I'm happy to give steam my money because their platform puts the least bullshit between me and the game, by far.
