Epic kinda tried that by giving away tons of free games in the Epic Games Store. It didn't work.
If I want Steam games cheaper, I go buy a Steam key for that game from a separate retailer and activate it on Steam. Save like 50-70% irrespective of Steam sales. It's remarkable that Steam allows us to even do that in the first place.
I'm still gaining more and more games in my epic library I'll never use but love wasting Tim Sweeneys money. Lmao
That reminds me, let me see what’s free today.
Edit: nothing good
I just don't know how to claim those via web only. I think you have to install the store on Android.
Yeah I only used the web only. I’ll double check to make sure I didn’t miss this game.
I pirate so a free game isn’t worth it for me if it means I have to get their store app or whatever.
