I'm glad they threw in Doom 64 (even though it's permanently on Game Pass or on sale for like $2), because I don't know how well packs for free-to-play games go down. I never have an interest in them.

Shadow is a redo, but was only, I believe, a 1 day give-away from their 12-days of freebies - still an excellent offering and great if you missed that before.

Thanks Frank, i would have totally missed these. I would have been pissed off in 2040 when I start playing the game and missed free DLC (my backlog is out of control with all these free games).

Nice. Runbow is something I had wanted to play for a while. I skipped it on Wii U because I knew there was no chance I'd be able to get a full 9 player game going locally and I doubt the online multiplayer was ever really active (most non-1st party games on Wii U weren't). I did try it very briefly when it was ported to New Nintendo 3DS but couldn't get into an online match there either. Hopefully it is more active on PC but I suspect this is something you'll have to gather friends to play because there won't be many randoms playing. Games like this are why I wish crosss-platform multiplayer would become standard.

I did grab Runbow on the Wii U right when it came out. There were plenty of games online, at first, but that dropped off rather quickly. I only really got to enjoy it when my daughter had a couple of friends over and we played it together.

I almost played Darkwood when my Google Stadia Pro sub was active this spring, but ran out of time, so I think I'll give this a go.
Nice selection next week even though I own both elsewhere

Good stuff this week and Fallout 3 GOTY next week! While I own Fallout on several systems already I will happily add it to the PC collection. What an awesome game! I don't know how Epic does it - they have given out so many great games over the last few years.

I read an article that talked about the cost of these offerings and it's pretty high...but they are playing the long and expensive game to try to compete and eventually (hopefully) conquer Steam. I really appreciate Epic, but man: it's hard for me to BUY things from them and NOT Steam. I don't know why. I really think it's just habit.

Same with me. I appreciate the free games from Epic, but when I'm looking to buy a game my money is going to Steam. I guess I prefer my paid purchases to be all in one place/account.

edit: Also, a lot of PC games I buy these days are via Humble Bundles and they give Steam keys, not Epic. So that plays a part in it too.

I read some article a while back that detailed or compared what they paid each publisher/dev to have a game available for free on the service to how many brand new users joined the store and claimed it that week. It was interesting to see basically what it was costing them for new customers, a metric used for lots companies, customer acquisition cost. Seeing how they don't advertise (nor do really any PC gaming store) it's a decent way to look at things. The data in the article covered like the first 2 year's worth of games and so I think it was possibly off some, since lots of folks just love free crap (myself included) so they got on board early to get any/all of the games free.

I would guess that M$ (since they now own Bethesda) likely didn't charge too much for FO3 GotY since it's now a 14 year old title that wasn't going to sell a whole lot (any?) copies this year anyhow.

As for buying games on there, I don't buy PC games too much period, but I have used their $5 (or $10) off $15 coupons a few times and picked up Hades, Death's Door, Journey and a few others.

I will add that their store/app could used some work. Now that I'm up over 300 games on there, trying to view them in my library crushes the app as it seeks to display the box/icon for them all if you so choose and it struggles on my older PC.
They did recently add categories and pagination a number of months ago, but Steam is WAY ahead here with how the store/app works.

I've got two spare codes if anyone wants them. Just message me and a code is yours! One is from an older Humble Bundle, one is from this... and I somehow already have it in my library. raspberry

Star Wars Squadrons was free on Amazon Prime last year I believe. They were giving out Origin codes. I'll dig around and see if I have a spare code. That way you don't need to wait till next week wink
