Comment on The Outer Worlds w/ All DLC free until 26 Dec 2023 4PM UTC
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 9 months agoEGS 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.

Yeah, but are you really active if you’re not even playing them. You’re just a number on some stats sheets for the store itself. I personally have no gripes with EGS myself, by the way. I’m just playing devil’s advocate on why even claiming the free games could become detrimental to EGS if you are one more inclined to want it’s downfall.
