    So many people complain about epic and it’s launcher. Yeah, it’s not great but it works just fine and with all the free games you can claim, it’s just crazy not to have a account for it.

    Every week 1 to 2 games to claim and in December for like 2 weeks straight you get extra games to claim.

    Who cares it’s a repeat or a less good game, it’s free. Try it out and maybe you’ll find your next favorite game!

      Their store is abhorrent to navigate last I tried it. And no Linux default client. A no from me. They don’t want me so they won’t have me.

        I totally agree. After all this time the store is still lacking very heavily.

        I’m going to give the heroic client a try, works great on my steam deck.

        I would just make a account and claim the free games through the website, their always on the frontpage to claim.

        But to each their own ofcourse.

      You can use heroic, it is pretty good and supports epic, gog and amazon games, also setups proton/wine for you if you are not on win

      I fully agree. There was some controversy about exclusives, and I get it, but the drama was completely disproportional to the issue. It turns out that console fanboys have evolved into launcher fanboys. I’m grateful for free games and an amazing games engine.
