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
They get people to register, same with having extra deals. I was really mad with Steam version of Assassin’s Creed games forcing to run two launchers AND only giving you russian version of Unity (I am in Ukraine), so I took their coupon and bought next game in series at the time (Odyssey) on Epic.
I don’t even need their launcher, I can run it from Ubi client but unlike on Steam, EGS versions were international… Also, IIRC, Pillars of Eternity from Epic is DRM-free. I got it without paying and then bought second game on Steam, so it works both ways, it’s good for games to be in multiple places and us having options.
Anyone who hates Steam having a competition is delusional, you don’t want ANY brand to have a monopoly. Corporations aren’t your friends.
