What the hell is epic games doing...

[Proximo]

Literally half the games they gift us for free were arleady gifted not so long ago, other half is totally sucking ass.
I got it that these are free but damn.

It's fine not to be interested in something.

Because their model isn't sustainable.

The games they're giving out are cheap to buy on sale.

Seems like everyone but Steam is giving away games to attract people to their storefronts.

Prosper.

Completly not what I said, if you want to farm jester awards its not right place.

True but a lot of people agree with me that games recently gifted by epic are lame, and now during christmas many people were hoping for some high rating games and we got some obscure cheap games.

People mainly have epic games because of fortnite or free games, not a single person I knew had epic games for any other reason.

I have enjoyed the games they gifted me for the holiday season, and if I had money, a lot of these games would have been bought already... thanks for being kind and gifting these games, Sorry I don't have any money to pay for them for I would have if I was wealthy or able to afford them in the past.

Steam should give or put free games on the home page... instead they allow for artwork "skins" to be bought and sold on the market place for playing what steam (Valve) wants you to play (free games that are made by Valve).

Unclench. Your anger is getting to you. And your spelling.

LMFAO ... this is why I say people should temper their expectations.

I wish I had a dollar for every person who expected far better than they get.

I'd be richer than Elon Musk ...

I too am disappointed by their Christmas promotions.

Normally it's incredible $60+ games for free.

This year? Meh.

It's funny that sometimes I'll get a game free on Epic then a few months later I'll buy it on Steam. Or even that I'll sometimes see a game for free on Epic, decide not to claim it, because I'd rather have it on Steam -- with all the attendant forums, achievements, guides, screenshot galleries, and DLC sales and bundles that I would never get on Epic.

I only ever bought one game out of the 70 or so I own on Epic. AC:Valhalla. I've played maybe 20 hours of it. And I'll probably buy it on Steam for 10 bucks some day.

I agree the quality has gone down on their freebies, even at Christmas. Their best giveaway, IMO, was six games at once -- the entire Batman Arkham trilogy plus the entire Lego Batman trilogy. Others might say it was their giveaway of GTA V, but by then everyone born on Earth already bought it three times on three different platforms, so the giveaway was basically limited to newborn babies. And who would even let their newborn baby play GTA V anyway?

They're trying to be a loss leader to get their foot in the door. Problem is the way in which they're trying to be a loss leader is stupid. They aren't competing with Steam on functionality and making a better store/social experience. They're just competing on free games. Which they're starting to buckle under that pressure and have very little to show for it long term.

Free games = complain.

Paid games = complain.

Welcome to 2024.

You see a game for free on Epic. It's just the base game. There are also five DLC. You think: "I might want to buy these DLC someday. But I don't want to buy them on Epic."

So you turn it down.

It's a strange thing that if you buy (or get for free) a game on one storefront, you have to buy the DLC for that game on the same storefront. I don't think it should be this way, but that's the way the industry evolved. Back in the day, you could buy Diablo II at Wal Mart. Then two years later, you could buy the Diablo II Expansion Pack at Best Buy. And there was no problem. They still worked together.
