Has the Last Campfire of Humble as a majorly-Steam game source burnt out?
Seems like you don't know why Epic is doing the free games promotion. The point of freebies is getting them to the Epic store. These games are already on the Epic store so there is no point in aquiring them. Epic only makes games freebies that were not on their platform before.

I think you are missing one big factor in this - they dont pay publishers to come to epic. Im pretty sure most of them would willingly go to Epic anyway. They are paying publishers to give away game for free to attract more players. Only times what you say applies is for their exclusivity deals... that`s when they pay someone specifically to go to Epic..
So Im pretty sure they could put any of these games as free in the future if they see fit. I dont think they will though, but I dont agree with the fact they pay for publishers to come to epic.
Just look at most of the games given away for free - a loooot of them have previously been bundled in monthly/choice... At this point I hardly doubt a publisher cares if the game is on Epic or isnt. Getting paid by epic is just icing on top for a game thats bundled.

Seems like you agree with me. What do you think is the point of "attract more players"? The point is to get them to use Epic. As far as I know applying to Epic is not like Steam, they don't just let anyone through the door. They pay publishers that aren't on Epic, but as far as I can tell they never make games that are already on Epic freebies. (Besides Control and WWZ, which they own, so it's different)

Why is SR3 even in this bundle, it was given away as an Epic freebie not long ago.

What are we celebrating here? 3 years of bought exclusives? 3 years of Swiney pretending to be a hero of the customer?
This is like celebrating a disease.

I wanted shakedown hawaii for a while, looks good and $1 is hard to pass up. Tier 2 games also interest me but BTA is too expensive. Epic haters are annoying and they make me more tempted to buy it.

At least Epic launcher works, I can actually play games with it. Uplay is so bad that it prevents me from playing games I own on Steam which is insanely frustrating

Probably an issue on your end, try installing the latest version. I've never had any issues with Ubisoft connect, except the one with AC Black Flag Season pass. I am even able to back up and restore my saves manually.
I launch / play all my Ubisoft / Origin games from Steam with no issues. For Origin you have to close the launcher each time to end the session but that's it.

Epic literally gives away arguably better games for free

You realize that it's not their decision to make, right? Ultimately, afaik, publishers/devs will decide on the type of keys/activation they're ok with.
Plus, there's always a "no Steam no buy" crowd that voices its opinion on their social whenever a bundle includes non-Steam games so I'd say that HB is very much aware that a lot of people prefer Steam keys. ;)

I've just noticed that there's an "app" on Epic for humble bundle : https://www.epicgames.com/store/fr/p/humble
What's the deal, how could it be profitable for both Epic and HB ?
Anyone already tried this app ?

You will have to download the app "setup.exe" from epic. Then install the app. Totally seperated. It just soooooooo "extra".
