I was just trying to claim it an hour ago… But then I noticed my account name kept changing to Stealth Ninja 500 or similar… Is this a hacker trying to jump in at the point of sale?!? I tried signing out, signed back in as me… Then it changed to same name again at the same point, just before I clicked purchase…!
Like, perhaps an automated bot that doesn’t realise the game is free anyway, or something…?
Good for the devs who need the money but as a customer Steam just provides more, and if not Steam, GOG is DRM-free and ItchIO enables smallers indies to get their games out there. Epic isn't even on my list of places to buy. The only thing I bought in Epic, funny enough, was Fortnite Save the World, and I didn't get much out of that.
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?
And if you don’t mind hard games with a lot of dying. I died about 600 times on the first boss, no joke. But the game doesn’t make you wait between deaths, and they all felt fair. It’s the good kind of hard game.
I use Epic launcher for all my Unreal work, so I have it installed and open it daily. Still, I can’t be bothered to turn on the games store and redeem free games - while willingly paying for new ones on Steam. The UX is just that bad.
(I assume some people may find value in it, all I’m saying is: it is not for me)
How is it bad for a game to only be available through a shitty CCP subsidiary’s shitty storefront that no one wants to contaminate their computer with?
Dredge is amazing. If you don’t like Epic, please consider buying it elsewhere. The devs deserve the support and you’ll definitely get your money’s worth. Cosy cosmic horror fishing game turned out to be an excellent combination.
I’m a self proclaimed valve fanboy, I use Linux with proton and wine-ge, and I buy games on the epic store. I try not to have purchasing biases, if the price is good on epic and it’s feature parity with other PC storefronts, I’ll buy it on epic and install with heroic launcher. I’ve only ran across a few games that don’t have feature parity with steam, the biggest being that remnant doesn’t have cloud saves on epic. However, these cases are few and far between and most of the time I’m fine buying on epic.
Exclusives are a cancer. At least if you made them, i could somewhat understand. But paying third party developers to not sell their game on certain platforms is stupid.
