I claim the free games and occasionally play a few through Heroic, but I have never and probably will never spend a dime there because everything there is a net negative:
no Linux support, even for games with Linux builds
same prices as pretty much everywhere else
no unique features, and lacks many features compared to Steam
Pretty much the only reasons imo to use it are Fortnite and free games, and I don’t need an account to claim and play free games. So since I don’t play Fortnite and have forbidden my kids to play it, EGS has nothing to offer for me.
Epic does sales where they release free games periodically. It’s great for people who like cloud gaming like Geforce Now.
