It must be costing them a fortune to purchase these games.

i'm no expert but i'm sure its not costing them much; a promotional use clause in the contract for sales/giveaways (because publishers are heartless, soulless baby eating demons) which the devs/studios can turn around and have a tax write off.

Found this

looniam · Dec 26, 2021

good thing i said i wasn't an expert. :oops:

btw a google (using images and see what matched) sent me here:

Epic Games spent nearly $12m giving away free games up to 2019

It seems some financial documents have been made public that Epic most likely did not want to be made public thanks to their antitrust trial with Apple.

www.rockpapershotgun.com

bunch of links to leaked docs and this one has that table.

i guess the cost of free games is sorta on topic? (at least for a few replies???)

oobymach · Dec 26, 2021

11.6million for 4.9million users, and that was just 2019.

Ahhzz · Dec 26, 2021

Guys. Start a new topic for EGS if needed, but try to keep this thread for "Free Games". thanks!

I managed to get them after a few tries.
Now I want to carry on playing Prey, which was the other day, and the launcher is struggling.

Come on Epic, upgrade your servers!

natr0n · Dec 30, 2021

wow 3 tr game is ridiculous. That would buy me to that service for sure.

GamerGuy · Dec 30, 2021

I didn't bother to check if I already have one, two or all three games on Steam, I simply grabbed all three at EGS just because....

Yeah but they've also opened a window since that picture was taken so it'll be fine. They've talked about overclocking the CPU to 333Mhz, but that's a big project.

oobymach · Dec 30, 2021

I had an issue trying to claim the third (first) tr game in the app, was able to get it on the website though.

jhelton48 · Dec 30, 2021

Got all 3 games now.

lexluthermiester · Dec 30, 2021

Yeah, those three are kinda hard to pass up.

Sithaer · Dec 30, 2021

Nice I just bought the definitive edition Shadow on STEAM exactly 1 month ago on sale for ~15 $. :laugh:

'own all of the 3 games there'
Still grabbed the collection on EPIC tho, cause why not.

Twitter don't use much bandwidth.

Epic Games give away free downloadable games, and they don't make a lot of income like Steam and Netflix because we're all there just for the free stuff.

I'm on EPS for years, have maybe 100 games, and so far I bought just one game for ten bucks in a special promotion.

I also have EPIC since the UE 4 Unreal Tournament Alpha/beta days but my first full priced game there was Borderlands 3 in 2019.
Since then I bought multiple games on sale or with coupons 'or both', will be buying Tiny Tina's Wonderland on day 1 too on EPIC.

To be honest I bought more games on EPIC than on Steam in the past 2 years, next one is probably GoG. 'Steam user since launch day of HL 2'
