Good: Steam offers you a discount.
Bad: It's only for an EA or UbiSoft game.

I have a Epic acciunt and claim all the free games. No play time. The intention is just to do what I can to hurt them economically. Hopefully the creators of the games akao get something.
They either get a cut per game, which is unlikely, or they get a flat rate regardless. Either way, it won't hurt the developers. Also even if it isn't actually hurting epic, these corporate ghouls will still look at each game as a loss and get butthurt. So it's really a win win.
I'm old and out-of-the-loop. What are they giving away? I dont see it on their website. But again, I'm old. And kind of stupid.
On the Epic Games Store they always have one or two games that users can claim for free (and keep forever). They change the games they offer for free every few weeks or so (or on some holidays even daily). Sometimes these are really awesome ones and sometimes they suck :) Currently you can get The Elder Scrolls Online for free. They are doing this for some years now and now I have a huge selection of games that I haven't payed a single dollar for.

When I had an old slow computer I hated using extra launchers for everything, heck I even kept steam closed when I didn't need it to save resources. But now I have something half decent I don't mind having a couple running in the background
