>snag the free game every week>never bother to play it at all Anyone else does this?
i dont even install the free game
I made an account to play UT4 and haven't logged in since they killed it.
>>739296860I think Prey 2017 is the only game out of the hundreds I've redeemed that I bothered to play
this but amazon prime that gives gog games
Maybe if they gave away decent games or mpshit.
>>739296918I don't even play games
Well..anything good coming up?
>>739296860if their launcher wasn't complete dogshit to navigate through i think i'd actually play like half the games i have on there
>>739296860Not sure how Timmy imagined that would go. If you just hand out free gibs the thrid worlders will just take the free shit and fuck off without ever paying a cent for anyhing else in your store.
>>739296860Yeah, I don't even have Epic installed. I just go to the website once a week and take the free games. Pretty sure I have over 500 games on Epic I will never play.
>>739296990How'd they kill it?
>>739296860I was looking forward to one of the free games a few weeks ago because the trailers made it seem like pikmin, but when I downloaded and played it, it was complete fucking garbage. It was like someone took pikmin and then popped a squat and let rip a big fat shit with factory game mechanics, crafting, and basebuilding with shitty fetch quests to advance the "story."
>>739296860I snagged Hogwarts Legacy.Never installed it.Thanks for the money that'll eventually goes to J. K. Rowling (she criticises trannies) Timmy boy.
>Give away games that have multiplayer like BF, ARC, Forever Winter, GTA5, RDR2 or Civ>People now have a reason to use your shitty launcherwow so hard timmy
I do this but over the years they did have some playable games (bioshocks, fallouts, tyranny).
>>739296860Steamies and not playing games.Name a more iconic duo.
>>739296860thanks for reminding me
>>739296860I already do that without giving my data to the chinx
Everybaldi does this
>>739297845and nophono plays them later on
>>739296860The only good ones are on special events like christmas
>>739296860Oh yeah. Out of the 589 games I've redeemed, I've only played like eight.
The way the launcher is so dog shit makes me not want to touch it at all.
>>739296860i dont think i would ever played these games if it werent for free (not even bother pirating), some were actually good>bloons td 6>close to the sun>Death Stranding>GTA V>hitman>Guardians of the Galaxy>Tom Raider Trilogy>Sifu>World War Z
>>739296860im gonna play em. i just dont feel like playing any of those particular games right now though…
>>739296860oddsparks is a great factorio lite and it's been fun playing it through again with friends who got it free on epic
>>739296860I tried Hogwarts legacy for like 20 minutes then uninstalled
I got death stranding directors cut when they accidentally gave it away, and played that on PC. I also got GTA5 and used that to play it on PC and for fiveM.I've gotten a couple games on egs, bloons 6 was less than a dollar so I used my epic funny money from my youtube shilling to buy it, same as avgn game which launched the deluxe on egs first for some reason.Otherwise, nah, I mostly collect and never really play. There's just not a real reason to, a lot of the games are shit I already bought years ago.
>>739299146this>>739299542They were giving away Sorry We're Closed at the same time. Pople say it's goty but for me it's too pozzed.
>>739300091I didn't even make it to the wokeshit The combat was just not that interesting
I used to but then I forgot my password a year ago and never bothered to retrieve it.
Couldn't pay me to install timmy's chinese spyware.
I'm not going to complain.I got GTAV and Death Stranding for free thanks to this shit, plus a bunch of other games that i ended up liking.Shit, even some of the phone version isn't to bad, ended up getting Kotor 1 and 2, Out there, Cultist Simulator, 911 Operator, potion permit and a bunch of other stuff that i still want to give a go.
>>739300471kotor 1 and 2 android amaze me, cause they're literally fully functional ports, you can even install mods, just takes an extra step.
>>739297221>Not sure how Timmy imagined that would go.People always claim - at least when Epic Store opened - that steamies won't leave for a new platform, because they can't take their library with them. So that's why Timmy is gifting everyone a free library.Personally I don't understand the premise at all, but I haven't found another explanation either.
>>739300738>Personally I don't understand the premise at all, but I haven't found another explanation either.There is no explanation. These aren't $500 boxes where people will usually only have one of them, but free clients you can easily swap between.Epic employees admitted people only use EGS for the gibs then go back to Steam. The only reason Epic is still doing free games to this day is because their user numbers would probably drop by 70% if they stopped.
>>739300902>free clients you can easily swap betweenTrue. But just in this thread some anons are moaning that even that is too much to ask of them...I'd like to see the Epic Store thrive, and thus I bought some games from there, when it was new. But to be honest, even I have lost hope of it ever becoming more popular or better.
>>739300902Because when they threatened to stop doing it they saw such a massive uptick in uninstalls that they IMMEDIATELY fucking scrambled to bring them back. It was probably catastrophic.
>>739296860>>739296918digital hoarding for no reasonmust consooom
>>739301839>massive uptick in uninstallsBut you don't even need the launcher to collect those games. The web interface works perfectly as well.
>>739302450You need the installer to install and play them. (yes shit like heroic exists but you know what I mean)Collection isn't the point, it's that people wouldn't even bother keeping the client installed to maybe play and be advertised to that's the concern.
I would've eaten this shit up if I got it when I was a poor kid. Free games to play all the time hell yeah!? Now I can hardly be bothered to install and start them up. It doesnt' help that my SSD's getting full and I don't want to play musical chairs with my programs to make space. I don't even really like video games ngl
>>739296860I thought about doing that because I like free things. Actually playing them would involve using the Epic Store program, so I decided against it.
>>739296860You forgot>Buy game on sale on steam that you already had for free on epic
welp
>>739296860Nah this launcher made my PC feel sluggish and gross and ever after an upgrade I dont feel inclined to redownload it
>>739296860It's much simpler for me>don't even install EGS because the platform is cancer and the free games are shit
I played GTA V they gave away but that's it
>>739296860this is a not-so-subtle advertisement for epic games storedo not install itdo not redeem the "free games"do not fall for it
