Free to grab : 6 Free Batman Games from Epic Games Store

LOL people are so callow. A simple free game and the haters pop up and start hating. I guess If I were standing on the sidewalk handing out free $100 amazon gift cards, the haters would start saying I don't kiss their ass enough to give it to them. Amazing.

 

hahaha! agree^......now where's my free beer you promised me?......

 

Can you validate that statement? What, in your experience, makes the Epic launcher "barely functional"?

 

It has cooties damnit

 

Exactly, and not just one. So far 30+ for free. It's not a bad deal, heck I've paid quite a bit money for SNES games back in the day.
Once a game is installed there is actually no need to even use the launcher, simply use the shortcut and they both start, very easy, don't even have to hunt for patches on your own these days, download winzip etc
Some games in the past used be so that if you needed a patch you might need to download 6 or so individual files and patch them up in order. First to 1.01, the to 1.02 etc etc

 

Free games are not enough of an incentive to get me to support epic store in any way. They launched like assholes and continue to act like assholes while providing no benefit to the customers. The platform has barely matured since it launched, and they just keep back pedaling on their road map. People easily bribed with free games are falling into the trap they are setting. This is a psychological sales tactic, be smarter people.

 

if they was giving away free cars to all that signed up people would complain. I dont like what Epic did but free is free. and just cause people get the free games dont mean that obligated to buy from them either..

 

I already have the Epic launcher for other free games, so it's not a problem for me. Added this lot to my library now. No issues. Not sure what the problem is.

 

Yet they don't charge as much as Steam for each game sold. Certainly that is a good thing, perhaps the almost monopoly-like situation with Steam is not the most optimal, be it for costumers or developers

I'm sure WB made quite a bit money from Epic on this, and that in turn can help them to develop more Batman games or whatever they have planned.

Currently replaying Knight, and happy to see that they added the DLC to it too in the end.

 

By Epic having PC exclusives they are creating another Monopoly-like situation though. I feel that Steam is more optimal because they allow games that Epic does not like that small niche market. GOG is the same way.

 

Yes, I get that point, however, it is also a message to Steam that perhaps it's time to change how they take of the sale. If Epic grows rapidly then Steam must adjust, and in time we get the games on both or more platforms/launchers

 

...the worst case scenario and problem, is not the amount of programs but the amount of accounts and credentials/passwords. I have all launchers with same email and password, SO I DO NOT EVEN CARE IF IT IS BANANA OR APRICOT OR APPLE OR PINEAPPLE, etc.

 

People moaning about getting free games. Just wow.

 

Try using a password manager, like Lastpass. I started using it during an overhaul of my security practices after one of my accounts was broken into and I've never looked back (it's also convenient when you need to manage a large number of accounts). Now, whenever I set up a new account I enter the info into Lastpass so I don't need to remember it - the only password I need to remember is the Lastpass password. It's also more convenient than manually entering your username and password - the Chrome extension auto-fills it on PC, and I use my thumb to authenticate and auto-fill on my phone.

 

The exclusives suck , on the other hand i fo not care if steam or epic get my money when i want a game the one that sells it cheaper will get my money , that said steam has more chances to be the final winner for example if the game is mod friendly ( mount and balde is a good example) the steam workshop is almost an instant win
