    You should redo them then.

    I claim every free game Epic offers, not because I actually want to play them. I claim all those games because it costs Epic money. And that is my goal.

      If it’s silly to not claim them because epic bad, it’s silly to claim them because epic bad too.

        I never stated I’m not acting silly. It’s true I don’t really like Epic nowadays so why not state my opinion this way? It’s a bit of a twist in “vote with your wallet” after all.

        The games are not free, someone has to pay for them, at least something. And if it ain’t me…

      It doesn’t cost them any more. They already paid an estimate of sales.

      All you’re doing is telling them is that they’ve got your attention.

          More likely you are just padding their account numbers that they use to show investors

            And if investors are not dumb fu*ks, the would want something like “average expediture per user” and that’s another point for me!

      I remember hearing things like the epic game store launcher rifling through your steam games and contact lists, etc. I just don’t want to install anything like that and running a VM just for that seems silly.

      Edit: article summarizing the claim and counterclaims.

      Sounds like a little bit of epic not being clear in what the software does and a little of the Internet running with a misunderstanding.

        With something like the heroic launcher you don’t even need to install the Epic games launcher. Just redeem the game through the website and play them through heroic.

        Nothing against you, but that sounds entirely made up, given how hard it is to link different services via credentials.

        Even Heroic Launcher and Playnite need you to log in before they can get that info.
