I enjoyed a few of them. GtaV, or Borderlands 3 (altough part 2 will be my favorite part forever)
Civ6 was merely only a demo version, and TW:Troy really sucked and helped me save some bucks.

But mostly I just add them in the hope that Tencent will pay a few cents to The developers who created those games in the first place.
But I won’t buy anything there. Games that are only sold via this platform don’t exist.

Same for me. And the individual games have prices > 0.

EDIT: 15 minutes later, now it works.

I had to use an incognito window for it to be claimable, I imagine some weirdness on their website because it’s a bundle

It’s funny, as often as I see these posts about free games on the Epic Games Store, I still have absolutely no desire to ever install or use it.

I’ve enjoyed a few of them with my young kids The Lego one was fun, Dodo Peak is another nice introduction puzzle game, and Beyond Blue is educational and beautiful.

There are quite a few more that I might check out at some point. I slightly regret not jumping on the free games bandwagon earlier since I missed some great ones, but I have enough of a games library across many platforms that I never need to buy another game for the rest of my life and I won’t beat them all, so whatever.

Pikuniku is a brilliant little puzzle adventure game, too. I don’t know exactly when it was available for free in the Epic store.

Similar for me. I always redeem them. But honestly don’t think I’ll ever use or play any of them.

Yeah they burned me a few times in the past by acquiring games/studios and breaking their Linux compatibility immediately after getting them. I’ll hold this grudge for decades.

Seeing as ‘Storefront Exclusivity’ on pc games was a part of EGS’s plan, they can keep their free games.

Plus, I remember an indie dev talking about how they tried to strong-arm him into going exclusive to them with ultimatums.

“You’re either only on EGS or you’re not it at all.” That kinda shit.

I once used it as a demo for a game before buying it on Steam.
