      And here I thought I was special, seeing as other people actually bother enough to redeem those free games every week. I stopped doing it a long time ago and I’d rather pay for those games on steam/gog offers.

      I can’t be bothered with epic even for the free ones.

        I thought I would use the free games on epic as a demo for games I would like to buy at steam, turns out I just buy them at steam, I never play them on epic, I think I tried out two games in the beginning of the whole give away but that is it

      Playnite is the better choice if you’re on Windows, but either way, don’t let Tim’s dumb store stop you from ruining his day by generating a bunch of metrics that show you’re only playing freebies!

      Keep collecting them. Each one you get costs Epic money and helps counter some of that Fortnite cash that lets Epic keep paying for exclusive contracts. Keep bleeding them and eventually they won’t be able to keep buying exclusive releases.

        Epic pays a flat rate to offer games for free, they don’t pay per download.

        Downloading them just helps Epic inflate their “active users” number when talking to investors.
