Going to try and beat Steam.
They will give away two free games per month throughout 2019. I guess they're hoping that library will keep you around.

In for free games, I guess.
Do they come with Steam keys?

Saw an indy developer point out on the Twitters that Epic's store is "No DRM" and has a "14 day no questions asked return policy".
Uh...That's hot garbage.
Hey small devs, get on Epic and make more money per game, but sell fewer games and see most of them returned.
Someone else pointed out that the 30% Valve takes is a paltry sum compared to what box stores take. Box stores take 50% or more, plus the publisher has to pay for the packing and shipping. Valve drastically reduced that number, and just reduced the 30% last week.
I'm thinking they should drop it farther, to say 15% and they would kill all competition aside from Origin. Because EA is stupid.

Well, ostensibly more store competition means better prices + services, so bring em on.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm about competition as it helps us. However, I don't see this knocking Steam off the top of the mountain.
Also, fuck launchers/libraries for every developer.

Have you seen a Steam Sale? How much cheaper do you need these damn things?
Epic Store
Subnautica and Super Meat Boy are going to be free for a limited time, starting later in December
It's not me, it's someone else.
Epic Store
That's $40 according to Steam, but definitely not top tier games. Also, Super Meat Boy has been out for a long time.

Looking at the language the free games are going to come in two week time frames. No word on if that's just to DL and play during that time, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it will be setup that way. Remember, their return policy is also 14 days, which seems to imply they think 2 weeks is a good time frame for people to "test" a game.
Point being, I'm betting the free games aren't permanent to keep.

We shall see. I'm thinking they're matching, maybe even testing, their 14 day return policy. (Something that should be a deal breaker for indy devs.)

I signed up to get the free game(s).
The app will not run on my PC though, so I cannot play them.

Super Meat Boy went free today.
I still have Subnautica in my library, so I guess I got to keep it.

Got it, they also patched the installer so it works for me now.

What Remains of Edith Finch is the next free game and goes free on Jan 10th.

Epic Games gets an F from the BBB.
As if we didn't hate having more launchers already...
Epic and Ubisoft reach exclusivity deal.
This is just a shitty, shitty bit of news.
