Civ on Epic.

Good luck with that.

View attachment 156135

no issues

yeah 0$$$ paid for them ... after what they did to Paragon (i know i am repeating myself) i feel a bit sad for the dev that sell on their store but they won't get any buy from me on EGS (let's hope for them they can also be on GoG or other ... and not being stuck as EGS exclusives ) still a lot of good freebies ... i'd say Epic has a guilty conscience and try to make up? naaahhhh that's just paranoia from me ... (and i am not paranoiaque! "it's not me, it's them!" )

Worked after 8th attempt

1st attempt ... i guess being late to the party is good :laugh:

edit, i have some paid transaction on their store, all related to Paragon and all of them got refunded (ofc it was nice of them to refund all, nonetheless i am still angry about their abandon ... for what? F!cknite? hell no... fat chance i get in any battle royal game whatsoever )

Boooo. Can't stand games that have more than 3 sequels in its series.

Added to my library anyway to cause financial damage to Epic Games and the low possibility of suffering brain damage at the long future.

LOL, you're dreaming. None of the free giveaways is financially hurting Epic. You might want to research before commenting.

will people stop posting games which are free to play for two days ?

@windwhirl

There's a second thread hanging around somewhere on TPU where your posting belongs. I think it's similar to this thread, but it includes "on sale". Perhaps a very nice TPU user can find it for you.

Already done

Current Sales, Bundles, Giveaways

They're doing the $10 coupon on $14.99 or more purchases again too. I can't fathom how EGS manages to do this and keep their doors open. Fortnite must be barfing money still. Volume sales.

Anyone played Borderlands 3? I grabbed it to add to my 'will probably get around to playing sometime' list.

phill · May 28, 2020

Here's the linky just in case Epic Borderlands

My internet connection might suck, but it seems to be having no issues with downloading both of these games

Gutted I missed Civ 6 last week for the girls but from the reviews on Steam, sounds like Civ 5 better anyway... Ummmm... Oh well, it's free

Flogger23m · May 29, 2020

Got it. I know it says all bonus content add-ons included but does that include the add on campaigns? I remember Gearbox used a very confusing "seasons pass" and "ultimate edition" or whatever in the past for the games that did not include the campaigns despite costing almost double that of the base game.

cucker tarlson · May 29, 2020

sounds like they respect gay people to me

I don't know how Epic does it. I got an email from Total War Saga Troy will be free on Aug 13 for 24 hours. What is crazy is that Game has not even been released yet.

And there isn't a lot of time left to launch it before that date comes. There was an uproar when two months after Tomb Raider's launch (I think it was TR) the studio sold it at 30% off (it was one of Steam's seasonal sales or something that week)
