Epic will Giveaway Free Game Every Week for the Rest of 2019
- Thread starter NeoRaider
- Start date
Before seeing this thread, in the Shenmue thread, I wanted to make a pithy comment about gamers complaining about Epic one moment, then running towards them like mindless zombies whenever Epic offers free games.
Epic will continue money hatting because they're not being punished by consumers. Expect more exclusives stolen from under our noses for the foreseeable future.

I bought a game in their store already and somehow this still feels insulting.
The timing of announcing this just after the Shenmue exclusivity is too much. They should have started E3 with that, perhaps.
It was until they launched their Epic Mega Sale, which was just per week for E3 and now they chaned it so it's every week till end of the year
Here is a list of the games that was released free so far (City of Brass being last one before this weekly change happened):

We're taking a look at the full list of past, present, and future free games given by the Epic Games Store!
Why would they suddenly change to a weekly giveaway?
It either seems like they're trying to gain some good PR after their recent blunders or EGS isn't as popular as they'd hoped.
Oh well, a freebie's a freebie - I just hope EGS doesn't shut down before I get round to playing them!

That is certainly one way to build a launcher that is actually desired.
People speak of the woes of capitalism but as a gamer, right now, we are in a golden age. The amount of free games that roll into our position and the amount of hours of entertainment we are getting from f2p, subscription perks, and outright gifts is bonkers.

Because more and more devs/pubs are interested in giving away their games on EGS
Damn.
Been missing out cause I didn't want to download the client.
Pretty much since people need to feel the need to stir the pot.
I've claimed a free game or two through the browser on my mobile, but I've had to scroll quite a bit to see it.
I'm assuming this is so people have something in their Epic libraries so that future purchases and filling that library feels less difficult.
I had to try it because I wanted a free version of The Witness but didn't have access to my PC. Tried the website and it worked!
Guys, I'm just going to get this out of the way so we can nip it in the bud:
"I don't see what the problem is, it's just installing another launcher on your PC. Plus, PS and Xbox have exclusives, whatz da big deal?"
Also, fuck off, Epic.
