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.

    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.

      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 :/

      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

    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.)
