Comment on The Outer Worlds and Thief are free from Epic next week
brick@lemm.ee 3 months agoThey’re free games though. You may be on a crusade against the epic store and I don’t like multiple stores/launchers/exclusives either, but it’s pretty shitty to begrudge people for downloading and playing free games just because you think it’s counterproductive to the progress of your pet issue. The Outer Worlds is a good game with a compelling story, and your average person who would like to play that game doesn’t have a bunch of spare cash available to buy it when the option of getting it for free is available and extremely easy.

People have the choice between supporting Epic or sailing the high seas.
I would argue that the latter is the more ethical option.

I’m not averse to donning my hat and eye patch every now and then, but Epic is still more convenient. Maybe the high seas need their own front end…

Honestly, I bet it would have better features and still somehow make more money for indie developers than the Epic store!

Unfortunately I suspect that the legality of actually putting it together would somewhat interfere with the technical aspects needed to make it good.

Some people have that choice, sure.
