    Yeah but I’ve gotten some absolutely stellar games for free. The ones that cone to mind are Satisfactory, Subnautica, and Prey. Well worth it

      I had Ark which I want to play for over five years by now but considering I never thought about it again till now it’s probably not the biggest loss!

      Prey is the one game that I don’t think I ever would have played without an epic account, that I’m glad I have

      Still not giving them a cent though

        I did like Death Stranding. Which surprised me because it feels like a bonkers indie game about a post-apocalyptic Deliveroo driver, but inexplicably given a $100m AAA budget. He still can’t write dialogue for shit, all the celebrity cameos are hilariously out of place, almost nothing makes any sense until the last 20 minutes, and there’s grind in awkward places.

        And in spite of everything, I can’t help but admire the unapologetic nature of the concept. It’s kind of like Red Dead Redemption 2, in that it goes against everything gamers normally want, to the point you can almost hear the boardroom full of middlemen getting frustrated that there’s not enough shooting, or wondering where there the multiplayer funbucks are.
