I love the idea of getting older AAA titles for free, but hate the idea of installing the Epic Games Launcher on my computer. Where do you guys stand on this?
It also makes me sad that Epig Games has fallen so far. I grew up on Unreal Tournament and now I don’t want them anywhere near my computer.
I dunno, I’ve just kinda changed what games I play to things that appear to also be the same kind of stuff that Epic is making deals to give away for free?
Also, in fairness, I do buy the occasional game for console even if it’s available on PC as sales permit, but we’re talking a game or two a year at most.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
It’s almost stopped me buying ANY games, at all.
At some point within a year or few of a release the odds of anything I find interesting showing up for free on epic is damn near 100%.
It’s the ultimate patient gamers bit: wait 2 or 3 years and that game you want will be $0.
(It’s why my epic library is now bigger than my steam library, despite spending $0.)
Wow, that’s impressive. Or maybe I have a problem of buying way too many games.
Or maybe I don’t buy enough?
