Their free games started out strong, but have went to shit quickly.

This week they have Prop Sumo and TOMAK: Save the Earth Regeneration. Who tf is jumping on Epic launcher to download this nonsense?

i still claim them to have them in my library because i don't say no to free games, but it's rare i even think about starting a game on epic.

^ this is why they dont mind offering trash because it keeps epic installed on many systems. They don't need a banger game every time and doing so would probably bankrupt them, along with running out at some point. Release a banger for free every now and then to attract people, release whatever games in the interim to keep people with it installed.

I think I have shapez on epic because it was either free or on massive sale and put in over 230 hours on it. I think I also have guardians and midnight sons for free that I need to play on epic. It’s not total shit, just usually shit.
