MODERATORS
I created an epic account solely for the free games, which I claim and never play. Fuck Epic. I still haven't forgiven them for ruining Rocket League.
Downloading the games does not cost Epic anything. They paid a flat rate to make it free to download, regardless of how many people actually download it.
You signing into the store and claiming the free games provides user metrics that Epic can use to entice investors.
