This seems like a very interesting move from Epic's side. Their giveaways had some pretty nice giveaway games in the past (Assassins Creed Syndicate, Darksiders 1 and 2, Amnesia, Into the Breach and Towerfall)[1], but recently they've started giving away far bigger games like GTA V, and now Civ 6.
I wonder if this'll actually kickstart their market share.

Out of principle as a cheapskate PC user. But to most gamers GTA V and Civ VI are old games by now. Either way, clearly Epic are trying to buy into the market share of Steam. Well needed competition.
