Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games
Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games. Most titles will be playable offline, while some will no longer be playable.
Even if they aren't paying devs, they're still strongarming EOS integration by requiring crossplay with other PC platforms.
Turning off servers for UT99 and UT2k4 should be criminal.
I guess Epic is too poor to keep those servers up. Someone's gotta pay for those incredible exclusives.
When it came to UT vs Q3, I was always team UT baby!

First free game is Bloons TD6. I saw a post on Reddit saying the second free game is Horizon Chase Turbo.
Bloons TD6 is awesome! Go buy it on Steam

Tyler has been shilling for Epic since the very beginning of EGS in the most ridiculous ways. It's weird to see him writing something like this (although I still disagree that Steam is a monopoly). Perhaps Epic stopped advertising on PC Gamer?Gaming News (@GamingNews@meta.masto.host)

Still, it's a pretty shitty, badly written article, the choice of some words seems to still make fun of people who "supported" Steam and honestly comes off as kinda passive-agressive.Tyler has been shilling for Epic since the very beginning of EGS in the most ridiculous ways.

New Requirement to Access Harmonix Live Services
In keeping with Epic's efforts to provide an age-appropriate experience for players of all ages, Harmonix is now requiring an Epic Games Account Login where players can report their age in order to maintain access to online features in AUDICA, Dance Central (2019), and Rock Band 4. Visit https://ep

“To protect the children!”So this is how Epic wants to force an EGS account for all games with EOS on Steam
Another dupe today with Costume Quest 2. Tomorrow might be Sable. Good game.

Thankfully I'm a spry 122 years old. I'll be 123 in a few days.
That explains the recent push for kid friendly accounts and privacy settings.
That might also explain why the free games haven't been as good lately.

What else were they gonna write?
I think this was mentioned in the Trial in passing (maybe by Apple's lawyer?).
Still I feel that epic got off very cheap.

For what it's worth the changes they list are actually a positive if they're implemented with care and in good faith. Do I think Epic will? No, they're entirely too self-serving, but if someone else did, it'd be a positive step.
That said, this PR release is a "We're sorry we've got caught stealing children's data and money, not sorry we did it",
They've been doing the these things for years and wouldn't have changed had they not been sued by the FTC and other government bodies around the world.

Take-Two takes down Goat Simulator 3 ad that used leaked GTA 6 footage

That's pretty baaaad.
From the Wildermyth 1.11 patch notes:
Note: Epic Games is on a company-wide break at the moment, so players who own the game on the Epic Games store won't get this update until sometime after January 3rd. This also means that crossplay with players who own the game on Epic won't work until that time (since game versions need to be the same for multiplayer). Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause; we considered holding back the patch, but wanted to get it out to players for the holidays!

Wtf are developers not allowed to push patches while Epic is closed?

Lol, this garbage just turned 4 and still shit.
Developer focused indeed.
The hateboner Epic has for anything they deem as limiting Fortnite's cashflow seems to have resulted in their response being cobbled together, one might say, hastily.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
First good freebie in a while. Good job Tim Epic. Too bad I already have it on Steam.

Seems like free DC was a mistake, if you search the store, standard which previously said (unavailable) is now free.
I have a hard time believing that 505 would give the DC version for free when they can get more money by giving the base game and then charging for the DC upgrade.
This is the fucking company that created a (fucked) base version of Control, just so I'd be part of a humble bundle (heck I know have an incomplete version of the game on).

).
The launcher is now super slow and when you eventually reach the library, every game says "sign in" under, so you can't play anything.
Very reliable, thank you Epic.

They gave out the wrong Death Stranding and took down the whole store trying to fix it.
lmao get fucked epic
and 505
and me, because I already bought DC upgrade on steam

Some are saying they even revoked the DC on their accounts.
I retract my previous praise of Tim Epic.
