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.

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.
