Current Events > Epic Game Store giving everyone a blanket $10 coupon.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've avoided giving them my credit card number, but this might push it over the edge.

for a measly ten dollars?!

Do they have a shopping cart yet?

Yes actually

Epics still shit, but thanks anyway

Do they finally allow us to gift games? Like I'm surprised how behind their UI launcher is.

i still don't understand the problem people have with EGS. what is the point of being a diehard steam fan and turning down better deals when they're available elsewhere?

just use GOG Galaxy or some other unified launcher and you can have everything in one place. fanboys are so dumb lmao

because epic is very anti-consumer especially with locking games to their platform for a year

do you think having only one viable platform is pro-consumer? what do you think steam did when it first came out?

Draw people to its platform with excellent sales and higher convenience than physical media

can you buy games that are under $10?

We mad at epic for doing what consoles have done for forever? I thought we reached that point where you just have everything. I have steam, blizzard, egs, gog, riot client, origin, etc..

I used it for Disco Elysium

No. You can only use it on games priced $14.99 or higher.

Yeah, I jumped onto the Kingdom Hearts cult and Neo World Ends with you with it.

Theytook forever to finally add a cart, and they still don't have a forum and user review are. The UI changes colors based on the game page, and you can't turn that off, so RIP your eyes if you click on a game and it suddenly turns from black to bright white. And it still doesn't look like they fixed their memory leak issue (it slowly uses more memory, the longer you have the launcher running).

And then there's their exclusivity nonsense. The first uproar happened when Metro: Exodus, which had been available for pre-order on Steam, suddenly got removed, 2 weeks before launch, because it was going to be EGS exclusive for 1 year. And remember Rocket League? It was free to play on Steam, but they bought the developer and removed it from Steam. They're more focused on cornering the market through exclusivity, than actually improving their store. It doesn't "help gamers" by forcing them to use a specific store. Let it be available on all store fronts and compete with competitive pricing. That helps gamers.

So yeah, people have problems with EGS and the way they do things.

Huh, I bought RDR2 and it turns out you get infinite $10 coupons. It's basically $10 off any game that costs $15 or more and that's after the sale price.

Yeah, I'mma buy Death Stranding too. Maybe I'll hate it, but it's $10.

i got a bunch of stuff from here like Inscryption, Naraka Bladepoint and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 + 2. thanks Epic!

Okay, I have to stop browsing the store because now I've also bought the GotG game and two of the Wolfenstein games lol.

Lol I just bought the GoTG game. With the voucher it was cheap enough for a punt
