You know that they don't make anything by giving you a free game? You actually likely cost them money when you do it?
I mean, that's one way to stick it to the man I guess. "I'll show you! You can keep your $100!"

I tried Enter The Gungeon... really cool style, mechanics, arena design and stuff... after 20 minutes of play I die on a boss and I lose everything.
Quit the game and uninstall, I really can't stand roguelikes :'D
I try them all the time and I end hating them even if I really like the mechanics (like this one), but I can't handle this formula, at all.
Such a waste :'(

no cloud saves, no achievements, no Big Picture mode, no Linux support, no Custom Controller stuff, no user reviews, no community forums, games only available for a fixed price, and limited regional pricing support.
All at the cost of higher developer (read publisher, since most games on EGS have a publisher) cut, and giveaway of free games that can be bought for less than a fiver at a sale elsewhere (I swear, Rime was on sale for like 3 bucks on Fanatical the week before it was offered on EGS)
Epic, If your store's so awesome, why don't you let us choose if we want to pay more for less features or not? y'know, something called actual competition, rather then this exclusivity bullshit?
You know what? I have been collecting these free games on Epic Games and I was genuinely ready to jump in. Played a bit of The Witness on my lunch break yesterday and enjoyed it enough that I decided to play it at home today. WTH! What do you mean there are no cloud saves? For an online games store this should be one of the first things they roll out.
xD This post is amazing
In case you don't realize it, you don't lose everything upon death on these types of roguelites. You gain currency that transcends death and you unlock more things the more you play. Yes, actual progress through your run is reset though, and I understand that's what you seem to mainly be talking about. It's not for everyone.
Meh a ton of games I already have through Humble and/or PS+ (many of which I've still not played). I think from that list Thimbleweed park is the only one I don't have.
My advice to Epic (not that they care in the slightest) would be to sort their store out and stop with the exclusive nonsense Look how MS has completely turned their public perception around by being incredibly consumer friendly. Do that

I own all free Twitch Prime, GOG, Epic, many humble and humble monthly and some other steam indie games. Help! They flood my PC!
Still want to try Sims 4. Goddammit.
Rebel Galaxy is currently free, it's basically the ship combat of Black Flag but in spaaaaaace.
Sure, I'll take em. Prob never play or even install them (much like my PS+) but I don't mind having them available.
"Account"->Payment History" will show you any games you redeemed through the free games they give away. Along with anything you actually purchased.
Weird, it shows that my earliest purchase was Oxenfree when it was free but I got other free games like Axiom Verge before that don't appear on the list.
They appear just fine on the client, though.
There may be a thing regarding recent 3 months or something. I remember seeing Axiom Verge on the list before as well.
The lack of information on games on it's store page is extremely annoying. Just price, description what the game is about, who developed/published it and social media links. No info on anything else. No release date. No SP/MP/local coop/stats info, no overview of some critic reviews, no user rating (doesn't have to be user text reviews, just stars or whatever people can vote on), no update history, nothing.
Even worse is VR compatible games. There is no info on which VR headset a game like Trover or the upcoming Falcon Age supports. It just says the games are compatible with VR headsets, nothing else. It is very important to give customers information to know if their VR headset works with the game or not.

Yeah it's pretty lame. I'd like to support their store far more but damn shits still barebones af.
