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’ll claim the games if they look interesting but usually someone else has to tell me what’s on there because I don’t look. I won’t buy a game from epic though, so this marketing tactic is lost on me.
Not lost, you boost their active user numbers
True, but active user count doesn’t increase revenue. And I imagine higher active users increases the cost Epic pays for those free games.
So I feel like claiming is a net drain.
