Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

Actually if you hated EGS so much you should take these free games. Each free game costs them money.

EGS isn’t paying per download, they’re paying the developer an upfront cost to make the game a free offer regardless of how many copies get downloaded.

I stand corrected then if that’s the case. But also if more people download them (even if they don’t play them or buy on the store elsewhere) then they are likely to make more deals and spend more money :p

They want more active players on their shitty platform. So by claiming and downloading free games you are actually doing what they want you to do.

Sure, give them your data instead of just pirating the game. It’s free either way. Except one way you don’t have to give them data on your life.

They only get what you give though. Plus I feel like the whole “oh no they’ll get my data” arguments for a lot of things pretty weak. Being one that briefly used to work in data science and adtech. They don’t know you personally, you’re just in a cohort of similar people. You’re not individually identifiable. Which is fine by me. I’d rather get given targeted ads (when they’re not blocked) than the absolute wild west of a mess ads were in the 90s and early 00s.

But you could just… not. Installing their software on your machine gives them file system access, soooo… maybe just pirate and get the game for free just the same.
