Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?

If it’s free, it doesn’t hurt to grab it.
But in general, I don’t like to play through Epic anymore. The Expanse Telltale game was the last straw for me. It was an Epic exclusive for a bit. I mostly play through Steam link on different devices, and adding the Expanse as a non-Steam game would only let you play the first chapter. Nah, I’m out.

…really? Are you sure you didn’t just get the first episode for free? Some of those kinds of story games were released like that. That seems above and beyond Epic’s usual shit.

The license is tied to playing it through the Epic store. Tried it both ways. Plays all the episodes fine playing through Epic. Only lets you play the first episode as a non-Steam game startup, even using the epic launcher as the executable.
But I play mostly on Steam link, so that doesn’t work for me. Luckily it finally came out in Steam. But that’s my last purchase from them.
