Then you’re still driving to Costco just to get hotdogs, which means you’re putting more resources into using their deal than would be needed to just buy and make your own hotdogs.

Are we still in the analogy or are we strictly talking about Costco now? 🤔

Yep. This would be installing and dedicating space to the Epic launcher, and maintaining an account and its credentials.

You people are nuts lol. I don't like Epic either, but if you think buying a $60 game is somehow less work than just claiming a free game, you're delusional. $60 is at least several hours worth of literally working for the vast majority of us, whereas a miniscule amount of hard drive space and a one-time affair of setting up an account is a non-issue. Especially if you use a password manager (as you should), then you don't even need to remember the password.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Epic, stop making up bad ones.

Wow, so much work for thousands of dollars worth of games!

Man, if only there was another way to get free games...
