Epic Games Store Is Giving A Lot Of Games Away In December
The Epic Games Store, which is known for providing at least one free game every week, is expected to double its bonus beginning in December. As in past years, the store will offer one free game per day, with the possibility of more at the end of the promotional time.
The same was true in 2020 and 2021, when the number of titles was expanded to 15, including high-budget blockbusters such as the most current Tomb Raider trilogy. The Epic Games Store will begin delivering games on December 15, according to a member of the dealabs site known as billbil-kun (who has a history of leaks). The daily action will last until January 10, 2023, and it is unknown which games will be given away.
This week, the PC Games Store is giving away free copies of Star Wars: Squadrons, a space shooter and simulator developed by Electronic Arts. Since its inception, the Epic Games Store has given away hundreds of free games, including GTA V, the Batman Arkham trilogy, and others. According to the responsible company, 89 separate titles were distributed in 2021 alone, with a total value of $2,120. In 2021, users claimed over 765 million free games.
Along with the free game distribution at the end of the year, the shop is set to launch a fresh promotion of selected titles. Remember that they have Black Friday 2022 specials available until November 29th, with discounts of up to 75% on various games.

And timed exclusives is a strong deterrent for me.
High quality games for free is a strong motivator for me

Of course they don`t force anyone to buy but they are offering games in the hope that people will start buying the other games in the store.
People getting their free games and not buying the other games is not their objective.
Well, they don't FORCE you to buy anything. The local supermarked also want you to buy a lot of stuff

I'm not sure why people will refuse to have another game launcher, especially one that offers good free games. I bought 2 games on there and I have 321 free games. I've even gotten the free games that I already have on Steam because it supports the game developers.

I used to feel like that, but dont care anymore.
If a game I want is on a launcher I dont have I just get it and game on.
Not gonna hamstring my gaming because of a launcher/corporation etc.
I make my stands where I feel it matters, and gaming aint one of them
For me personally, I still have games I want to play that were released several years ago, some of which are already in my Steam account. I have more games to play than time to play them. Being a Linux gamer, not only has Epic/EGS made my gaming experience more difficult, but Valve has made noteworthy improvements. I don't hate on EGS but I have no compelling reason to use it, even with the freebies.
Don't see the problem with the Epic launcher. Nobody is using Windows XP anymore and we all have lot of ram and storage space, so what's the harm in having two or three game launchers installed? You install them and you forget they exists until it's time to download and play what you want.
I agree with your sentiment that it's not a big deal to have a few game launchers and run them when you need them, but I absolutely despise the foundation of your reasoning. There is no incentive to ever improve when you just buy in excess. When something can be made better but you deliberately ignore it because you can compensate for having "more" (whatever that may be), that's a real problem because you're basically just shifting the requirements. When everyone starts to do that, what was once excessive is now not enough. In the 1960s, we built a computer that could land on the moon using specs worse than some Arduinos, yet that Windows XP system you alluded to would struggle to just simply run EGS, let alone play anything. And I'm not talking about the processing requirements for 4K and assets to go with it because that's evolutionary, I'm just talking about the software itself. You shouldn't need 1.5GB of binaries+assets and a CPU+GPU capable of playing the most demanding games of 2005 to get a responsive, feature-rich, and visually appealing game store/library.
For what it's worth, I don't gripe about the demand of system specs when there is no realistic way to optimize it further. There is plenty of software out there that requires a real beefy modern PC that is very well optimized.
There are lot of kids who don't have the money to buy games, that with Epic get triple A games for free: I bet they are very happy with this and don't give a damn about the Steam vs Epic competition.
It's free stuff and nobody is forcing you to take it. What to dislike?
This I agree with. If I were back in my teen (and Windows XP) years, I would probably find myself using only EGS. I'd get enough free games to keep myself pretty well occupied.
hope Mirage is excellent.
What if your hope is a mirage?
