I mean that’s good for developers I suppose but I’m still not going to be buying from Epic.
It is still Epic Games, therefore I will continue my streak to not buy from them and claim all the free games without playing them.
I gave up on the free games at this point. Just too much of a hassle to check regularly with what little free time I have as I ironically post mid day.
Reminder on your phone for Thursday 12pm Eastern, no need to keep checking.
They’re also encumbered with Epic spyware, so despite having collected some of those free games early on, I won’t even run them (or the Epic store app) anymore.
You can use Heroic Games Launcher to download and play Epic games. It doesn’t have any kind of online functionality for the games, plus I block them in my firewall so no calls home. Works great for single player games. Usually end up buying it on Steam if I like the game but it’s great to check stuff out without having to deal with the Epic launcher.
Works on Steam Deck too! Also has GoG and Amazon Games support.
There are games I have as Epic freebies, but just thought it was easier to re-buy on Steam for convenience sake on my Steam Deck.
