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.

Aight, I'll not do a whole new one for this...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 14 hours ago

It feels likes been given away like 5 times.

Still nice for people who missed it in the last giveaway. Go play the game...it's good.

You'd have to pay me to use Epic.

Bro, if you really want to fuck with Epic, keep downloading all their free games and not buying anything.

In their investor meeting, they will have to reveal that for every 100 people who download a game only 5 people pay for it. This will show they have poor customer conversation capacity. The investors will lose it.

I have 400+ games from Epic and I've given them $0.00

I will never play any of the games. Ever.

Fuck Epic.

I'll literally buy a game on Steam even if I own it on Epic. Fuck Epic.

Not really, they will show that so many people visited the site, they already have so much potential customers.

I used to do that. Epic refused to play nice with my VPN forcing me to constantly re login with their crappy fucking captchas. The store was so annoying to use it wasn't worth dealing with for free games, certainly made sure I'd never spend money there.

I'll keep that in mind.

If you know what SCP is, this is based in a world of SCP. If you don't know what SCP is, good the device worked.

Before or after the foundation decides to exterminate the entire human race?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Before. The after version is SCP: 5K, and it's very, very good.

X-Files Ghostbuster Resident Evil – if that combination of words sells you on playing it.

And with all of that they never repeated their GTA 5 giveaway.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 20 hours ago

Because script kiddies claimed thousands of copies of GTA 5, either for their own use or to sell to other people that are evading a ban for hacking

After going to checkout and clicking purchase Epic is telling me that my account is not allowed to download any more free games for the next 24 hours. Does anybody know if I this is solvable without waiting 24 hours?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

In the app?

Does trying it through their web store directly resolve your issue?

(I had a similar issue, though not that exact one, that was preventing me from purchasing using their desktop client but the website seemed to not care.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I am doing it on the web, and it still doesnt work
