Why do we keep asking larian studios for opinions? What does ja rule think?
Because they made several good games. They’ve got the formula down. They’re essentially the Ja Rule of gaming…for this moment in time anyway
“I think the reign is calling murder”
– Ja Rule
I bought one game on Epic, once.
It didn’t work.
I contacted them for a refund.
I never received a reply.
Lesson learned.
I used to claim every free game just to help support the dev and cost them a bit more money, but I’ve decided just not to engage with the EGS at all.
I will never forgive them for trying to start the exclusive war on PC, and I am happy to see most gamers reject them entirely.
It’s important to remind everyone that Tim Sweeney is a nazi pedophile.
Same here. I used to claim every single free game each week except when it was the HP game. I think I’ve played maybe one and I’m so disgusted by the comments of the CEO that I just uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago because it’s no longer worth the space on my hard drive.
I mean, Valve already started it back in the day, it was pretty common to buy a physical disk and discover that the installer required you to install steam. Later on they wouldn’t even put the full game on the disk, you just got a key to download it from steam.
I have more than 200 games on Epic, and I’m not ashamed to admit it! I’ve never given them any money, just collected their free games every week for years.
They can’t really be trying as well as they can afford. The Steam Deck is almost 4 years old and they still have no answer for Steam Big Picture. No built into the EGS client remote play to an Android/iOS phone. They’re just a Fortnite company with a vestigial game engine and traditional games storefront. Their real video game storefront is now in fortnite
It always surprised me they never invested properly into building a decent Steam competitor that gamers actually want to use. Instead they’ve persisted with the free games dangling carrot. It’s a shame, we could have used some competition there.
I haven’t spent a single dollars on EGS, only collecting the freebies since it launched.
I do buy games on GOG whenever possible, as their core mission (make classic games DRM-free) is appealing to me.Same. But not only that, I know a few instances where I played a free epic game, liked it and went ahead and bought the game on steam or GOG.
Yeah I don’t even see gog and steam as direct competitors (obviously they are)
classic games I expect to run standalone thru a .exe exclusively bought on gog
games with integrated multiplayer/social stuff exclusively bought on steam
That’s basically the entire market 🤷♀️
I mean, I’m personally not spending a cent there until the CEO stops assuming everyone on Linux is cheating at their games, but y’know. Maybe if they slander an entire demographic of computers enough they’ll bump their numbers
Never used this trash. These stupid free games can go to hell, I’m not downloading a launcher, jumping through several different hoops just for them to run on my operating system if Steam does it all natively. Make a good product first. Maybe then.
if you have heroic games launcher, you dont need theirs
You don’t even need to run the launcher for EGS games. At least, none of the ones I have claimed need it running.
It’s a crapshoot. Some need EGS running, some don’t.
Epic is waging war on steam? Is this like if Sealand were to declare war on the EU or something?
I mean, given how much money Epic has burned on this, I think the more equivalent comparison would be one nation declaring war on the other but exclusively spending its military budget on fireworks.
I don’t think I’ve missed a single giveaway the last couple of years, and I’ll keep claiming the free games.
But, I’ve never spent a cent and don’t plan to buy anything from there.
Was MK1 free on EG at 12/31?
Asking for a family member who thought it was fake.
Mortal Kombat 11 has been given away free a few times; I have not seen MK1 being given out free ever.
Thanks.
I see nothing in my library that can be abbreviated to MK1.
