When I first heard about this, I thought there was a catch for sure because getting games completely for free and actually keeping games seemed too good to be true. But really the only catch I found was that I need the Epic Games launcher to play these games (I think there’s a way around this but I’m not sure).
They’ve been doing this for years now so clearly it’s benefiting them in some way, and I want to know how? And why aren’t other companies doing the same thing if it’s that successful?
In: Technology
This is how corporations work. They take a loss to break into a market.
Think Netflix, unlimited people could use the account. Cheap monthly fee. No ads…
Then once they broke into that market, they start adding all the bullshit to recoup their costs.
As a consumer, the best play is to take advantage of corporations doing this and then get out once they start going bad.
So for this example, take all the free games you can get. Because if they can successfully put a dent into steam, they will absolutely stop this free game thing.
