[FREE][Not Steam][Epic Games] Weekly at thursday 11 AM EASTERN (moving over from old thread)

Tbh that's the problem with Epic giving free games every week, don't get me wrong i love that and would still take the free games happily but whenever i laid an eye for a game in that store, even when it has a great deal the first thing came to my mind would be "Maybe it will be free later, so i won't bother buying it.."
Which is why Epic lost so much profit, it's like a double edge sword for them..

If I'm not mistaken you could get a refund as long as you bought it within a certain amount of days of the game going free. It might be the same amount of time as the normal refund policy, which is 14 days. You may want to send in a support ticket asking about it just to make sure.

Other info: The normal refund policy is also like Steam where you can't have over 2 hours of play time. I believe when it comes to the game going free the play time isn't a factor.

What if I die today? :P

yes they resell logins to accounts with these games included. so i think it wont get any better as long as its free :c

Create account now, grab free games.
Wait for the games to not be free and then sell the account to someone that wasn't aware they were free.

I assume that's the mindset the people are working with. I've grabbed every damn freebie they've served so far, if I did that with another account I care 0% about I would be able to sell that for quite a bit I'd wager.

I specifically remember people doing this when GTA 5 was free to grab on their service, since there would definitely be people that missed that and NEED it afterwards.

makes noooo sense at all

Check my account, here and on Steam.
Now compare your own.

Then, just to clarify, read my post again.
You'll note that I levied some valid criticism against Epic and that, at no point, did I defend their business practices. I did, however, state that the "freebies" are effective at winning some "goodwill" from me. I stand by that point, despite already owning the overwhelming majority of complementary games they've offered.

Why? Because, to reiterate it's more than Steam has offered in years. Lest you're too young or addled to know, Steam once gave vouchers and coupons to loyal customers and active accounts during the holidays; they once held massive giveaways during Summer events; they once hosted a contest whose winner was given a limited amount of time to add as many games to their account as they wanted without cost. Steam was once a bastion of quality, curated content and community-involvement. Of late, their inclinations in that regard seem rather on par with Valve's ability to develop a videogame.

So... how about you rein in the edgelord whiteknighting until you've a more sophisticated reading comprehension, huh? Valve doesn't need you leaping to their defense (particularly when it's meritless), nor does your accusation bear scrutiny.

Facade? Make you forget?

Wow, your comment is really out there..

The sales on epic are nice, for now. But the one huge advantage Steam has over epic is dev support, and this doesn't only apply to Epic, it applies to GOG as well. If the devs can't update their games on a platform with the absolute newest build, there's no reason to choose it over steam if you're going to actually play those games.

A couple of examples for me would be Among Us and Celeste. Last time I tried running Among Us I couldn't log in to the in game account, and it'd force me to log in as a guest which has privileges restricted. Celeste would crash on launch half the time and I couldn't find a fix for that. Both use different builds than Steam, although I haven't bought Celeste on steam so I'm not sure if the steam version would also crash. It's also up to the devs to implement achievements and cloud saves, and many of them haven't currently. Basically the games need to sell well enough on Epic or GOG for devs/publishers to care and I don't see that happening for a long time. The support just isn't there yet so I've only bought Tony Hawk for now.

For me EGS sales are not even close to Steam sales, bacause I can sell tradeable items and receive many various games almost for free on Steam.

I they said the same last year. At some point i read somewhere that they were going to end the free games deals forever, but i think that was supposed to happend last early last year.

i missed the free Subnautica freebie and have regretted it ever since

very nice! thank you! ive sadly only gotten 182 games, i missed so many. feels bad. but thank you tons for this work around tip! worked great

Oh its looking good and supports more platform than galaxy. Thanks for the heads up.

Gog galaxy kinda does the same though you need an external plugin to add amazon prime or humble bundle. I might check out launchbox though, so thanks for the heads up.

i used playnite, but Launchbox sounds even better. ill try

Armored Core spiritual successor! :D <3

EDIT: When I added the game to my library the 3 DLC were in my library as well.

Same here. Use this link to conveniently add them to your wishlist:
