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.

Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works on 25 Dec 16:55 collapse

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

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

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

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 25 Dec 18:22 collapse

You'd have to pay me to use Epic.

kindenough@kbin.earth on 25 Dec 18:56 next collapse

I'll keep that in mind.

xavier666@lemm.ee on 25 Dec 20:32 next collapse

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.

pressanykeynow@lemmy.world on 25 Dec 22:38 next collapse

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

Krudler@lemmy.world on 25 Dec 23:54 next collapse

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.

Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip on 26 Dec 00:34 collapse

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.

Cocodapuf@lemmy.world on 26 Dec 20:42 next collapse

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.

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

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 26 Dec 22:05 collapse

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

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.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world on 25 Dec 23:45 collapse

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

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works on 26 Dec 01:00 collapse

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

jeffreyosborne@lemm.ee on 25 Dec 18:41 next collapse

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?

schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business on 25 Dec 19:01 collapse

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.)

jeffreyosborne@lemm.ee on 26 Dec 10:06 collapse

I am doing it on the web, and it still doesnt work

Aight, I’ll not do a whole new one for this…

zerozaku@lemmy.world on 26 Dec 13:59 collapse

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

kratoz29@lemm.ee on 26 Dec 21:02 next collapse

And they give really really old ones too.

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 :/

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works on 26 Dec 22:44 collapse

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).

stardust@lemmy.ca on 25 Dec 22:58 next collapse

It feels likes been given away like 5 times.

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.
