Earlier in the year they removed the trial offer. Now it’s returned, but worse than before.

    I think it’s interesting that this isn’t working as well in the pc world. Epic giving away games for free doesn’t seem to be affecting sales numbers on steam (thinking of how incredibly well Baldurs Gate 3 is selling). I can’t imagine Xbox games not on game pass are selling as well as they used to. I’m sure there’s impacts I’m not seeing, but on the surface it looks less successful.

      It’s funny, my Steam games are like physical items out on my desk where I can see them every day, every time I turn on my computer. The free games I claim on Epic are like physical items in a drawer somewhere, that’s the Epic Games client. Not quite sure what I have in that drawer until I open it and search through it.
