It's funny, as often as I see these posts about free games on the Epic Games Store, I still have absolutely no desire to ever install or use it.

Yeah they burned me a few times in the past by acquiring games/studios and breaking their Linux compatibility immediately after getting them. I'll hold this grudge for decades.

I once used it as a demo for a game before buying it on Steam.

Similar for me. I always redeem them. But honestly don’t think I’ll ever use or play any of them.

I enjoyed a few of them. GtaV, or Borderlands 3 (altough part 2 will be my favorite part forever)
Civ6 was merely only a demo version, and TW:Troy really sucked and helped me save some bucks.

But mostly I just add them in the hope that Tencent will pay a few cents to The developers who created those games in the first place.
But I won't buy anything there. Games that are only sold via this platform don't exist.

Same for me. And the individual games have prices > 0.

EDIT: 15 minutes later, now it works.

I had to use an incognito window for it to be claimable, I imagine some weirdness on their website because it's a bundle
