    I made an Epic account years ago for the freebies. I’m not sure, but I’d bet I never played a single one.

      If you claimed all of them you’ve got some seriously great games in there… Control, Subnautica, Alien Isolation, all the Tomb Raider games, Evil Within…

        I’d rather pay to not use that godawful platform. Yes I know that’s stupid in certain ways but my hate for Tim Swiney is simply that strong

          There are ways to skip their launcher entirely amd use alternatives. Legendary and heroic launcher for example on Linux, there are probably some on windows as well.

          The vast majority of freebies are DRM free…

              Launchers are a form of DRM, get DRM free games and you won’t need a launcher.

                I’m still not referring to DRM. I’m saying Epic is a shitty platform that I hate enough to pay money to avoid. Get some reading comprehension. Further, you’re not even entirely correct.

                  Man, if you hate him so much you should take the freebies that they pay money for and not buy anything from the platform.

          I don’t have Sims 2, I have Sims 4, but I may have missed Sims 2. My old computer couldn’t open the epic games launcher, so I missed the first six or eight months of games.

          I think they gave Civ 6 too, so that’s at least two games for addicts

              Four games that by themselves can use more of your free time than you will have for the rest of your life…

      Same. I even played some of them. Still never gave them a red cent because their launcher is an offense to all mankind.

        Their launcher is perfectly acceptable and even requires less inputs to launch games than Steam as the games you’ve installed are listed in the menu on the left that’s always visible. Steam has become a mess that’s full of bloat and useless features that only exist to profit from whales and gambling addicts.
