      Probably they don’t like epic

      Neither do I but Epic pays money to the developers for the free games, so by clicking on them the developers are being supported and Epic loses money (if you don’t buy the add-ons then).

      I don’t much care for them either but…it’s free. You should claim it because you don’t like them.

          You can get the free games over their website, if you don’t want to install the client. You are right about boosting their numbers though.

        But can you just download and play it on Linux via Steam/Proton or do you need to install their launcher?

          You can use Bottles,Heroic,Lutris but Heroic was Less problematic + the only con its electron but i could just close the launcher while in a game its not a big deal
