A bit weird that their big christmas giveaway is something they already gave away before, I noticed it's in my library for a while now.

It's not like Steam gives free stuff often. And they give really really old ones too.

True, but digital ownership is a fickle thing that depends in large part on how much I trust the seller. Between a >50% discount on Steam and a free game on Epic, I would still choose Steam every time, because I would feel like I "own" that game more than I would on Epic (where I would still hesitate to buy anything more than the 2-3 free games that would interest me there).

As a Patient Gamer I'll take it...

I heard they gave away a nice title called Half Life 2 not too long ago... Sadly I still haven't caught up with HL 1 :/
