Seems like the rest of the free games from Epic Store have been leaked
It's a tweet from user PC_Focus_ that states:
The next Epic Store FREE games has been leaked:
13th game: Ghostrunner
14th game: Escape Academy
15th game: 20 minutes till dawn
16th game: A plague tale innocence
17th game: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Yeh, but It's still EGS... So, do we care? Are.. are we caring about this?
Yes. I like free games, and while I won't pay Epic a cent, I'm not so self-righteous to look a gift horse in the mouth.
They'll learn I claim every free game, and they'll learn what I install and play, but whatever they learn from that will be wasted effort, since it will never turn into a sale.
Because those folks were not duped at all.
Better to look behind it as well. I will vote with my wallet, my data and my decision that I don't support this giveaway behaviour to increase usage data so they can present great data for their investors.
Free games are free games, IMO it would be silly to reject them just because Epic bad. I can install them on my Steam Deck through Heroic without even having to use the official launcher.
We all have our own principles.
I ended up pirating all the game I own through Epic store. That's how bad it is.
Wait....heroic launcher effectively replaces the EGL?
competition is good for the games market. Steam needs a well funded co petitie of note. This helps drive innovation and keeps prices down.
Yeah, but what EGS is doing isn't competition.
If they had stuck with being a cheaper alternativ for Indie Devs and maybe followed it up with even more favorable deals for using their Engine and being on their platform, I wouldn't have had a problem with them. It would have been a good strategy to compete with Valve.
Like GOG did with retro games. Tapping into something Valve didn't focus on.
But they didn't. It all came down to a shitty attempt at Storefront Exclusivity. And that isn't competition, that is just removing customer choice.
Yes I like free games :)
I'd prefer epic didn't have platform exclusives but at the end of the day it's still on PC and I really don't care that much about epic store stuff.
