Epic is killing it.  I'm making an effort to purchase from Epic Store instead of Steam whenever possible. Epic deserves the support.

Free to keep, nice. What about being able to play it after that week, though?

Yea, their free games are amazing.

 

Also worth noting that they have partnerships with Remedy for 2 exclusive games.  One is AAA, and another is apparently a smaller game.  As well as genDESIGN , which as we all know made The Last Guardian (which is also rumored to be coming to PC), and also Playdead, the makers of Limbo and INSIDE.

 

So they're going to have some good exclusive upcoming content... and you can imagine there are others.

Details are fuzzy atm.  Bear with me here... I'm going off of very limited information.

The last few weeks have been amazing. GTA5, Civilization 6 and now this.  Are they funding a new game from genDESIGN?  It's shocking that Epic is more aggressive with Epic Store than Google is with Stadia.

Yea, genDESIGN's new game is being published by Epic.

 

Fortnite is still making them stupid amounts of money... they can afford to do this stuff easily, and they will continue to chip away at mindshare.  Little by little people will come around to the idea that the EGS is here to stay and that it's not so bad.  Just think of all the money they make from games that use their engine too... even outside the realm of gaming is making big money.  Unreal Engine is used in all sorts of media as well as movie development these days.  Tim is making the most of their success with Fortnite and investing that money in things that will help the company grow long afterwards.

They can't even be bothered to advertise the Xbox version of the collection?
