Sweeney's attitude doesn't make me want to ever ever buy anything from modern Epic Games, but I will claim free stuff.

[–] Korkki@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

100+ game library on epic.

Still 0€ spent on epic.

I'm currently sitting at 306 total Epic titles, out of which I've paid for a grand total of 1. Even that was a gigantic mistake.

I'll continue collecting these, just out of spite to ye old Tim Sweeney, and his bullshit attitude towards the community, purely because he has to pay out of pocket for every license we claim

Similar thing here I bought one game on epic and claimed I’ve lost count of free ones

…then I bought the game I got on epic for cheaper and with all the DLC on steam

I was just trying to claim it an hour ago... But then I noticed my account name kept changing to Stealth Ninja 500 or similar... Is this a hacker trying to jump in at the point of sale?!? I tried signing out, signed back in as me... Then it changed to same name again at the same point, just before I clicked purchase..!

Like, perhaps an automated bot that doesn't realise the game is free anyway, or something..?

That possibly happened for the same reason it happened to steam a few years ago. Tom Scott explains it pretty well: https://youtu.be/dkSslseq9Y8

Thanks a lot for the reply mate, that makes sense

If it's free on Epic or in this list https://steamdb.info/instantsearch/?query=dying&refinementList%5Btechnologies%5D%5B0%5D=SDK.EpicOnlineServices it's a hard pass for me

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Uhhhhh......why?

[–] Cris16228@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Because fuck epic and what Tim lil' weenie did

[–] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

About rocket league?

[–] Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck Psyonix, they were greedy beforehand.
