Will you consider the Epic Game Store your new default library?

View Results

Never, I'll stick to Steam thank you very much

Maybe, if I get enough freebies to get me started

Sure, if they will let me link my Steam profile to bootstrap my collection

Why not another store indeed, if the prices are right
