The one thing I like about them is they recognized why people really wanted to stick with steam: they have a large established library and don't want to bounce back and forth.
They took that and said "ok we'll give you free games every week until you have a large library here and won't want to leave!"
Jokes on them, I now have a large library of completely free games on epic and still use steam for the games I want to buy because I refuse to support their exclusivity bullshit.
You don’t need a subscription like Prime to get the free games? I was under the impression you do.
They were giving them away to anyone who made a free epic account.
