Less than $20, I believe. I bought World War Z at launch so I could play with some friends. Uninstalled both the game and the client shortly after.
I haven't claimed any of those free games on the client.

Zero and not even the freebies - I deleted my pre-EGS Epic account when they announced snatching Metro like two weeks before the launch. I don't feel like I've missed anything and I can wait.

Maybe $75 during the sales with the $10 coupons? Control and it's DLC's, AC Origins and Odyssey golds, and Maneater.

Bought about 80 CAD (one AAA priced game, normally) worth of Ubi games during the summer sale and the coupon madness.(like 4 Gold editions of AssCreed titles, WD2 and a FarCry) Figured once I eventually get around to playing them I can just install the launcher, synch them with UPlay, and uninstall the launcher again. The price was too good.

Like, maybe $40, $60 give or take on Fortnite?

Before the Moneyhats started rolling, that is, then I decided to kick it rather than contribute to the Moneyhat warchest going forward.

Only freebies so far. But I'll probably buy the Kingdom Hearts games (unless it gets revealed that they're only exclusive for like 3 months or something really short like that lol)

More than $200 for sure. Hitman 3, Control, THPS, and BL3 all on release.

If I want to play a game on release, it being EGS won't stop me.

$0. I had the launcher on my PC before it was EGS just because they gave out Shadow Complex for free back in 2015. Uninstalled it once they started paying publishers to take away consumer choice though.

$100-125ish range. Not including the $60 I spent on GMG. With sales and a coupon voucher, solid prices on there.

-The Sinking City
-Jedi: Fallen Order
-Maneater
-Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
-Predator: Hunting Grounds
-Outer Wilds
-Close to the Sun
-Control
-Airborne Kingdom

Edit: PFT, boy was I off... 200.39

I bought journey for $5 CAD. When they had the 10 dollars of every game offer and journey was not available on steam.

Probably between $100-200

Their sales when they have the coupons are sometimes too good to pass up (and then using the leftover coupon on a new release) even though I would prefer stuff on Steam.

quite a lot probably, I can calculate it hold on. platform makes no difference to me, it launches the games just fine.

€0 and it's likely to stay that way. I grab most of the freebies but I'll only ever play stuff that's drm free or doesn't require the launcher.

$20. Bought Tony Hawk. Don't see myself buying anything else any time soon. Even the KH games. When Epic adds a shopping cart, I'll start to seriously consider their storefront.

Tony Hawk 1&2 Remake, Amnesia Rebirth, Hitman 3, Control, Borderlands 3, Metro Exodus, Twin Mirror, Untitled Goose Game and others.

Nothing, just the freebies.

But then again I'm not much of a PC player. I don't have a PC, just a MacBook Pro. The only games I play on it are small indies that have not come to consoles at the time of the purchase.

Almost bought Hades because I was dying to play it, but I'm not into early access games...

I have bought precisely one game on EGS, Tetris Effect. When that came to Xbox Gamepass I uninstalled the client instantly.

~30€ for Borderlands 3 Season Pass 1 (the main game came free with my GPU)
~40€ for Anno 1800 including Season Pass 1+2
~12€ for Metro Exodus Complete Edition
~5€ for Rebel Galaxy Outlaw
~5€ for Division II
~25€ for Control + 1st DLC

These 10€ coupons are hard to beat. I vastly prefer steam, but when I can save 10€ and really want to play something now it's an easy choice. It's also easy to buy Ubisoft games on Epic because they have to be activated in U-Play anyway.

5 dollars on Manifold Garden, but it was using account credit Epic gave years ago to people who subscribed to a month of Unreal Engine shortly before it went free to use. So kinda also 0 dollars.

I've purchased several things, all on sale, so I just estimated <$100:

Maneater
Ghostbusters
Raji
Arise
Shady Part of Me
Mortal Shell
Outer Wilds
Hades
Manifold Garden
Superliminal

I've at least played all of them, and finished most. Also not counting stuff like Tony Hawk or Control, which I got for free. And as good as the other freebies have been, I don't know if I've installed/played any of them. LOL

Maybe between 100 and 200? All things equal, I prefer steam, but If I want a game, I'll go to where I can find it cheapest, and that's def been EGS in certain cases.

I bought a single fortnite pass back in season... 4 I think. I then used it to keep getting the passes till Season 1 of Chapter 2. I think my account has some 2000 credits still saved. I played it for about 2 years, so I think it was worth it.

No desire to purchase any titles there. I already have Steam, GoG, and Origin.

Not a penny, and I never will. Happy to buy on GOG, Steam, Windows Store and so on, but Epic won't get a penny from me.

I bought:
Hades (~$10, voucher plus sale)
Among Trees (~$5, voucher)
Airborne Kingdom (~$10, voucher)
Ghostrunner (~$10, voucher)
Disco Elysium (~$15, voucher and sale)

Claimed a bunch of free games, most of which I own elsewhere but won't pass on library redundancy.

Why isn't there a "$0 - I won't ever be bribed to be a statistic for Epic to use" choice in the poll?

$0

0. I have no interest in ever installing the EGS. So far I've had no problems waiting for Steam versions, but if they did happen to snatch up a game I wanted to play on release I'd just play it on PS5 instead.
