Yeah i don't get that hoarder mentality either. If there is a game i want i can buy it wherever i feel ethically appropriate. I don't even play all of the games i already own, i dont need a load of more games i wont be touching.
Two of the best games I've ever played, I got for free on Epic: Titanfall 2 and Control
Oh, man, those are both FANTASTIC, I'm really glad you got to play them. Control introduced me to the entire "weird fiction" genre and now I'm hooked. And Titanfall 2 is just a masterpiece of storytelling and game design. Just as you think you're getting bored with a mechanic they throw in something new.
It's really sad that Titanfall didn't get a sequel. I mean, sure, they can make one in the future, but of course by then the magic in the studio will be gone, or is already gone now.
The only reason I collect theses games I'll never play is because epic pays the devs for every free game is redeemed.
if you don't collect the free games then it's like youre losing the money you would have spent! (/s)
Not a lot of people can "buy it" because most people are in regions without an international payment platform support.
What you're feeling smug against is literally a record on the db.
Of all the things to be "ethically appropriate" about you chose people getting free games?
I don't feel smug about it, what the fuck. Use epic if you want, i'm just saying i already cant keep up with the games i actually want to play. No need for me to grab any free ones on a platform i dislike. "Ethically appropriate" means literally just that, get your games where you feel comfortable.
