I don’t care about his crying as much as I’m annoyed they won’t make anymore Unreal games
Hey if him being a giant baby keeps giving me free games let the manbaby cook.
Mankind Divided is free right now btw
Not worth me being a statistic that they can sell to investors imo. Fuck Epic.
Besides, that game’s been on sale for less than $5 on Steam.
"As you can see, a whole bunch of people joined our service, downloaded games we paid literally millions for from our servers and didn't give us money" isn't a good pitch.
It’s not, no. Would you imagine they would pitch free players as potential future customers?
It is the only reason I have epic installed. Not planning to buy anything but they got their foot in the door
Fooling investors into thinking people will just start paying them for a worse experience than you can get on Steam is funny but even they should realize once they look at the financials.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear something like…
they rope kids in with the free price tag over the summer, school starts and they get bullied for only having the default Fortnite skin, and suddenly the “customer” “converts“.
Investors (not China)
Well, on Linux (e.g. my Steam Deck), I can just install Heroic Launcher and don't need their stupid launcher whatsoever.
I am playing my epic games exclusively via heroic and it is a blast.
I am missing an equivalent community to "fuck epic". With all the relevant information of why this service is still not a good idea to follow, even by grabbing their games "for free".
Edit: Like this extensive summery: https://old.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bs4kh6/rfuckepic_for_dummies_a_quick_breakdown/
You're right, but I do appreciate getting GTA V for $0. They'll never get a cent from me but I'll take their games. I'm also running Windows so nothing about my gaming is free-as-in-air anyways
Well if they can turn fakeaccount53643@yahoo.com into money they honestly deserve the 50 cent they're getting for it.
The point is that an email address that is not in use except once to create that epic account is worthless to whoever buys it.
Fingerprinting though
We know it isnt free free. But in this economy you take what you can get.
The horror 😔
