• You have to install their launcher afaik.

    They periodically give away games in the store there.
    Right now it looks like Elder Scrolls Online.
    But they occasionally give away halfway-decent games like in the past I’ve seen The Witcher 3, Civ 6, Death Stranding, StarWars Battlefront II, etc.

      You don’t need to install the launcher anymore. Heroic launcher can run most of your epic store games. (both on Windows and Linux!)

      So enjoy the games without the major privacy concerns

      New one every two weeks. Some good games too, never buying anything from them but I’ll keep the games.

        Pretty invasive company. Im with you though. Take what you can get. Makese curious what they do with personal data, though.

          I don’t think personal data has much to do with it, if anything at all. This is just their marketing budget meant to get you on the store, so once you grab a couple of free games, you might start buying games from them, too.

      It’a a no-brainer when they’re legit buy-to-pay games and not games-as-service. My only problem is that they keep giving away games that I already paid for on Steam, like Witcher 3, Civ 6, Mordhau. I missed out on death stranding, apparently.
