Yeah. I’m not a console gamer currently but if I was picking one, and one had a few exclusives and the other one has everything minus those exclusives, why would I be buying the one without exclusives?

It’s not elitist. It is annoying walled-garden poo poo, but I understand it.

I've got a co-worker who is a 50 year old console warrior who finds a reason literally every day to go "Xbox is better than PS4 you should get one" and doesn't seem to understand that I have a PC and there's literally nothing xbone has I can't play on it.

He also goes "ew you buy games?" In response to anyone in the office saying they bought a game. Apparently Gamepass is the only way to play games now?

This guy sounds awful.


Hating Sony for having the rights to a thing is as dumb as hating pc only games or some poo poo. Who cares it’s how it all works just get a loving PlayStation instead there are plenty of rad games you can’t get on PC on it and that’s actually ok

One of the main reasons X-box did so poorly this gen is lack of exclusives. So yeah, it's important.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

And like clockwork, the store shows its frontpage for a second before it switches to an error and says "uh oh, something went wrong".

Edit: Nevermind, I was able to redeem this free game I will never get around to playing.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Remnant: From the Ashes and The Alto Collection are free on EGS this week

Next week is Enter the Gungeon (again) and God's Trigger

Remnant is a fantastic game. There's a $10 DLC that's absolutely worth it if you're getting the base game for free and another dropping on the 20th that looks neat.

Also supposedly the EGS version will crossplay with the Steam version.

When did Epic start offering all this free stuff? I looked at my account and I have a ton now but I didn't really start grabbing it until late last year. Before that it was jus sporadic. The earlier I see is The Witness which I'm pretty sure I got for free. Note: i have never played an EGS game.

I think it was last year sometime, they started offering free games every 1-2 weeks.

12/14/2018 Subnautica was the first. It was one game every two weeks until June last year, then two every two weeks for a while. Didn't become two every week until this year. So maybe that sporadic isn't as sporadic as it seems.

Subnautica and Shadow tactics are the only games I ever play on EGS.
They give a ton of pixel art games out but i'm not really into them.
Played the poo poo out of Sub and Shadow though.

EGS actually has really nice download speeds. I regularly get 100MBs where Steam almost always tops out at 60-70.

Technically not free but Xbox live for the PC has a thing where it's one buck for the first month. I was frankly astonished how many good games are on there, the new flight Sim 2020 is gonna be free from the start.

I've been playing a bunch of game I was always hesitant to buy its pretty great
