Okay but redeeming the games doesn’t actually do anything. Epic doesn’t care. You’re not messing with them by just having an account if you don’t use it
I’m sure they’re fully aware that some percentage of people will redeem the games with no intent of actually playing them.
The whole point is to generate word of mouth for their store. You’re out here doing their job for them, talking about how many free games you’ve gotten from them.
Lol No, fuck Epic. I’m saying don’t brag about shit that doesn’t matter. Like “Hooray, I’m playing right into their marketing scheme. Surely they must be furious!”
That’s certainly an opinion. Mine is that participating in leeching their freebies and not actually engaging in the platform in a meaningful way costs them money with zero benefit. They’re giving away games to get people into their ecosystem. If players aren’t participating in the ecosystem, then it’s not working and just costing money. This is techbro 101.
You’re entitled to your opinion. But you’re not changing my mind on this.

Epic is subsidizing the sale of the games. It costs them money and muddies their metrics.
Oh no, not the metrics!

And you’re out here defending them. 🤷🏼♂️
