I think that's actually just a fraction of people who claimed it. The amount of people who claimed it but not downloading it would be much higher. There's no need to rush to download and play it as long as you've claimed the game.

"We did it guys! We managed to get 1 million people on the internet to shrug their shoulders and say 'why not? it's free.'"
I wonder if Epic pays per unit. It would be interesting to know the price for one unit claimed.
iirc in case of KCD , Vávra said in local podcast that they got "some multiplication equivalent of average monthly sales" (or was it weekly
, dont remember now)
good article about this

What’s specially weird is that kids dont know what 1984 is, let alone a 36 year old super bowl commercial.
The kids (and the consumer) don't matter, the video was an ego trip from Sweeney, as always.
Epic could give away a perfect remake of Panzer Dragoon Saga and still I wouldnt redeem it
Jim's video is particularly on point, I have to say.
I've learn over time that the less I pay for a game the less likely I'd be to play it (yeah, sure It's a brand new game and probably with a lot of hours of play but games in which i've invested money seem more worth playing).
GTA V, maybe? I mean it crashed the store.
Just watched the Epic ad... wow.
The new thing for billion dollar shit companies is adopting revolutionary and political imaginary and themes and turn everything into a commercial for digital toys? (but please don't accuse them of doing politics please).
wow. we really are at peak capitalism where companies use ads with fake political tones to recruit kids and idiots on the Internet to join their fight (for free) against another company. WOW.

That is what an army of 12 years old can do to one of the most powerful companies.

I just hope none of those 12 year olds are harassing apple employees on their personal accounts.
That thing is screwed up on so many levels, from using kids to implicitly calling upon them for a social media campaign that always results in abuse, all that for more money.
Fuck Sweeney.
Fuck Sweeney.

Based on what I saw during the day, Apple, Apple Store and Epic Games have been trending a bit. The hashtag FreeFortnite no so much.

Yeah I don't really care about the Epic vs Apple and Google war but putting propaganda into the game and weaponizing their player that are mainly kids and young adult is really troublesome. I know nothing about US law but can they get into problem with this?
so 7,5mil activations of Troy .... and iirc WWZ freebie was 8mil

Going rate seems to be about $5, people already buying.
I guess that's the only way Troy will actually sell.
I tried it for 11 min according to EGS playtime and then I went back to Warhammer 2 lol.
Not that I expected to play it much, but I expected to play it for more than 11 min.
Borrowed EGS account, downloaded the game, ran the benchmark because I was curious how the TW:Warhammer 2 engine is evolving:
Saw 90% load on my 3900x during the battle benchmark.
Jaw dropped.
Uninstalled the game and the EGS client.
I'm still afraid. But considering the sorry state of CPU utilization in TW2. They put in a lot of work into that aspect of the game. I give them that.

it does but i think it has to be manually added per game by epic. also there is no notice on the store page if a game supports cloud saves or not so you have to consult this list
Still command line based though? Truly an EGS alternative in more ways than one
How long did it take Steam to have a UI?Still command line based though? Truly an EGS alternative in more ways than one
I was being sarcastic, just to be sure
. Steam ,even at its worst (Hl2 launch) had a functional, if ugly gui. I'm only giving Legendary shit because I'd fuck something up in command line, not that it itself isn't perfectly fine that way
Ouch.
Side note: I am always amused how the Steam version of games tends to come up higher than anything else in search, even for stuff like Horizon Zero Dawn. Those aren't bought ads of course.
