You can access the games through Heroic Launcher or Legendary, no need to use Tim Sweeney’s shitty bloatware

That’s good to know! It does feel slower than Steam for some reason, so I may be jumping ship is I can

It takes more data to load basically any page except the store where it’s about equal, that’s probably the difference you’re feeling.

That’s literally the only reason I keep EGS around, because of the weekly free games.

If I live to 100 I probably won’t work through that backlog.

Dude comes to a gaming community and announces his time is too valuable to play games.

I’m assuming it was a jab of how much time you can sink in this game, which is %100 true

Wasn’t it free to a certain level anyway?

No. The base game typically costs a one time fee and then you can play most of the zones and all quests within. All endgame stuff. No level restriction.

You can buy a few extensions for a one time price to get new zones (with full stories etc).

And you can subscribe monthly for unlimited crafting storage and a few other perks (double bank space, double customization slots in houses, etc).

Worth to mention that while you’re subscribed to ESO+, you also have access to the DLCs and don’t have to buy them separately.

Yes, BUT, the DLCs are only small parts of the chapters (the large new zones). So you can’t completely circumvent the chapters with ESO+ alone.

This game is amazing and I highly recommend to play it. Its community is great too.

That’s strange, it’s not showing as an upcoming free game in the UK. Disappointing 😞
