Epic Free Weekly Games
 
Control is free this week. If you don't know, Epic gives away free games on their platform every week. Seems too good to be true but this is what I have gotten for free so far. I think the only thing I bought is WWZ.

Also if you are into making games, Unreal Engine gives away 5-6 asset packs every month too.. :cool:

You can log in to their website to claim the free games. Epic's software is spyware, I wouldn't install their program unless it was on separate clean install OS.

Epic also fucks games out of being on steam, which is pretty fucking gay.
Lookin at you Darkest Dungeon 2

You should make one. There are metric fuck ton of free assets that Epic gives out 100% free for creators to use. This is my asset collection so far.. I could make 20 different types of games with these, if I had the time Lol..

Epic's eco-system in general is really badass.. They know they can't make every game, so they just made an engine, and made it "easy", for anyone to do. Basic games you can make with Blueprint, you don't have to know C++ but C++ is way more efficient. Epic has a ton of abandoned games they just gave the assets away from and some of them are insane, Paragon for one.

Steam has been pretty neutral and straight forward with their service.
Epic comes in and screws gamers by doing exclusives.

The negative / positive here is debatable as Steam also has no true competition and that could contribute to why Valve hasn't made anything new for far too long (aside from heavy innovation like VR), I just have all of the platforms/consoles so I can get the best of all worlds.. Their little war of BS isn't mine and I can't change it but that said, Epic contributes so much to these companies that it is their choice, not really Epic's enforcement.

Steam takes a pretty decent cut. Epic doesn't take a cut until you reach $1,000,000, then they start to take royalties. But ya, this is where I feign to capitalism as competition is only a good thing IMO.


But ya, Epic's fight with Apple is also worth mentioning here as it kinda contributes to these factors of apparently Epic screwing people, they all do this but only in a way of trying to get you to use their service.. Steam screws people too with their open market system with Counter-Strike etc. All the factors here are pretty substantial. Theres even Microsoft with its Cross-Platform bs, yet they don't do cross-play for the games anyone wants, yet it could.. My Steam collection is around 1000.. Doesn't mean I will be Steams fanboi, I also have a ton of free games from Origin because I didn't pick a side like a lot of people do.
