A bit weird that their big christmas giveaway is something they already gave away before, I noticed it’s in my library for a while now.

And with all of that they never repeated their GTA 5 giveaway.

Because script kiddies claimed thousands of copies of GTA 5, either for their own use or to sell to other people that are evading a ban for hacking

It’s not like Steam gives free stuff often. And they give really really old ones too.

True, but digital ownership is a fickle thing that depends in large part on how much I trust the seller. Between a >50% discount on Steam and a free game on Epic, I would still choose Steam every time, because I would feel like I “own” that game more than I would on Epic (where I would still hesitate to buy anything more than the 2-3 free games that would interest me there).

As a Patient Gamer I’ll take it…

I heard they gave away a nice title called Half Life 2 not too long ago… Sadly I still haven’t caught up with HL 1 :/

Still nice for people who missed it in the last giveaway. Go play the game…it’s good.

You’d have to pay me to use Epic.

Bro, if you really want to fuck with Epic, keep downloading all their free games and not buying anything.

In their investor meeting, they will have to reveal that for every 100 people who download a game only 5 people pay for it. This will show they have poor customer conversation capacity. The investors will lose it.

Not really, they will show that so many people visited the site, they already have so much potential customers.

I used to do that. Epic refused to play nice with my VPN forcing me to constantly re login with their crappy fucking captchas. The store was so annoying to use it wasn’t worth dealing with for free games, certainly made sure I’d never spend money there.

I have 400+ games from Epic and I’ve given them $0.00

I will never play any of the games. Ever.

Fuck Epic.

I’ll literally buy a game on Steam even if I own it on Epic. Fuck Epic.

Look at it, DarkThoughts has some edgy thoughts about Epic!

Epic being garbage isn’t an edgy thought. But nice try at trolling.

This giveaway last time was the reason I installed the epic store. All I can say is that I have no regrets. Control is amazing and it’s absolutely worth swallowing your pride to play this amazing game for free.

X-Files Ghostbuster Resident Evil – if that combination of words sells you on playing it.

If you know what SCP is, this is based in a world of SCP. If you don’t know what SCP is, good the device worked.

Before or after the foundation decides to exterminate the entire human race?

Before. The after version is SCP: 5K, and it’s very, very good.

After going to checkout and clicking purchase Epic is telling me that my account is not allowed to download any more free games for the next 24 hours. Does anybody know if I this is solvable without waiting 24 hours?

In the app?

Does trying it through their web store directly resolve your issue?

(I had a similar issue, though not that exact one, that was preventing me from purchasing using their desktop client but the website seemed to not care.)

I bought the ultimate edition of this game on sale for $15 like a year ago. This game is constantly on sale. This game is also really good and legitimately worth full price. For those of you bitching about epic, just go buy it from your preferred marketplace and shut the fuck up.
