Does Epic have paying customers? I thought it was for collecting free games that I forget about and buy on Steam.

Most people probably just buying vbucks for Fortnite. Well for most people it's probably just a fortnite launcher.

People are buying games on epic, because epic is now giving skins for Fortnite if you buy games on epic.

That's not what data from game companies is showing.

Most people open Epic's launcher for Fortnite and/or Rocket League (For those who were too late to get it on Steam.)

The rest, in my experience (friend group, online friends, random strangers online who cared enough to share) are just opening it to check which game they're giving out during the given rotation, maybe claiming them, and never downloading them for some reason.

I was more stating that people are only spending money on games from epic games for “free” Fortnite skins. But using Epic regularly is purely for those reasons you stated.

Honestly, I buy a good bit on Epic. If they have the better price, I go to them. Usually I compare during sale times. Granted I'm also someone who doesn't care about social features, achievements, trading cards and all of that. I just want the game to launch and work. So I'm willing to trade Steams features for a better price on EGS.
