That's just something you can do when you have a money-printer (Fortnight) and want to buy market share, I guess. Worked in my case—sorta—since I'd only ever have bought a couple exclusives and wouldn't have it set to start-on-boot if not for the frequent free games.
But, if I'm looking to buy a game, I still check GoG and Steam first, and if it's not there give a hard think to whether I really want the game, though. Which is why I've only bought two games. I'll even pay more, or defer until a sale, if Epic has it for cheap and it's more expensive on the other two services. The only price they're winning my "business" with is free (except a couple exclusives).
- shostack 4y agoIs it just market share? What do they do with your data?
- yamtaddle 4y agoThey're trying to buy being the other store that all gamers have and leave open and look at pretty often. They're trying to go head-to-head with Steam—others have tried with exclusives (e.g. EA's Origin) but it's never been enough, so they're trying with exclusives and giving away like a hundred games a year, hoping that'll do it. I dunno how everyone else is treating them, but for me, they've gotten me to leave it open and look at it pretty often, but haven't managed to get me to ever buy non-exclusives, so... partial victory?
