    Don’t think you even have to download the data harvester app until you want to install a game, pretty sure you can claim the free games through a web browser.

      Yup, I’ve got my reminder set and claim then from my phone every week

      Yup, that’s what I do. It takes maybe a minute on my phone, so it’s really not a real time investment. I’ve never installed EGS, I just claim stuff and go on with my day.

      Edit: I’m also on Linux, so the one time I wanted to try a game from EGS, I used Heroic launcher. So if you’re on Linux, you don’t even need to download EGS to play games.
