    I think I’d be more surprised if it was profitable. Anecdotal, but I (and most people I know) exclusively use Epic for free games.

      They gave away so many good games … and in doing so taught their target group not to spend money to buy games on their platform. Outstanding move!

        When I saw Alan Wake 2 was an epic exclusive my immediate thought was I can just wait for a giveaway like they did for Control.

          exactly that was my thought on Borderlands 3.
          And after gatting it for free my realisation was that it even is the worst part in the whole series. Not bad, but the story isn’t that overwhelming as the stories in BL1 or BL2 had been.
