Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games - Page 861 - Video Games

The Tencent thing soured me more than anything. "Tencent Holdings has the right to nominate directors to the board of Epic Games and thus counts as an associate of the Group." [link] I didn't realize they owned a 93% stake in Riot and LoL.

In my defense, I was somewhat drunk while writing that post and I have not, nor will I, buy any games from Epic unless things drastically change.

Even though I really, really want to play Satisfactory...

Doubt anyone is upset with you for posting it.

Is it still ok to take advantage of the free games though? That’s all I was planning on using the Epic store for anyhow.

I will still grab the free games. No intention of buying anything ever.

I have it installed. It opens every time i restart my computer despite not being on the list of programs that are supposed to do that l. I’m thinking since I’m not likely to play the free games from them I should uninstall it as well. Hate passing up free value though...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

For Steam, for example, is in the first location.

Remove just the Epic launcher entry and not the entire Run key, and then hope it doesn't re-add the entry next time you choose to launch it.

I think they extended the offer for a few days cause the promo was such a failure (impossible to create account/codes not working).
Finally got the game for free.
Pretty happy, I have never played it but now I have a reason (and I'm on a elder scrolls mood recently).

I see that "The Witness" is the next free Epic game (April 5th). Damn, Epic is building quite a list of free stuff.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on HB for a good monthly...

Borderlands GOTY edition coming out April 3rd. Everyone who already owns the PC version of Borderlands will get a free upgrade.

Also Borderlands 3 teaser trailer is really cool:

And here's the official gameplay trailer:

Borderlands games are always really awesome to begin with and then 10 hours in I completely lose interest.

I am offended by this statement. Having 500+ hours played across the 3 games, one of us has a problem lol.

Already planning on upgrading my GTX 1060 to maybe a GTX 2070 specifically to rock this game to the max.

I'd say how The Witness is the best game ever, but then more people would download the Epic Client so I won't

A lot of cool things going on recently. I love Borderlands for their world and artstyle and I'm loving the trailer, not sure if I want to play it though as I think the gameplay loop is fairly dull. Lasted me just a for a single playthrough so I never experienced the endgame. I hope for some fundamental gameplay changes regarding loot, maybe remove second wind or make it less important etc.

Very curious for Risk of Rain 2.

I'm overly excited by the announcement!!
bordelands 2 is fantastic, I love everything about it.
It's basically a fps diablo and like all the hacknslash games, endgame is where the best loot is.
Dlc range from great to average and goty edition is really cheap on sale.
I need a new computer damn it!
BL3 and Elder scrolls 6 are my 2 most anticipated games.

Probably.

Noted ****face Randy Piithford (Gearbox CEO) tweeted in December he supported the Epic Store, then a couple weeks ago someone tweeted him saying they were worried Borderlands 3 would be an Epic Store exclusive and he responded with, "What’s wrong with that? A PC is a PC - who cares which store you get your games from?"
