    I saw someone suggesting mass downloading and uninstalling and downloading again all of the free games they’ve claimed over the years

      That’s a lot of interaction for a boycott, and I’m sure they would just ban your IP at some point. Of course there’s always ways around that, but how much effort do you want to put into this boycott?

      The biggest impact you could have on them would be for everyone to go over to Steam OS which I don’t believe they support. It would be hilarious if they were forced to add support in order to stay relevant.

      I don’t think anything else would have much of an affect, because like I said their target demographic are kids, who don’t really pay attention to this stuff.

        There are tools like heroic launcher that let you install and play most games on Epic pretty easily on Linux.
