A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic? (self.patientgamers)

I love the idea of getting older AAA titles for free, but hate the idea of installing the Epic Games Launcher on my computer. Where do you guys stand on this?

It also makes me sad that Epig Games has fallen so far. I grew up on Unreal Tournament and now I don't want them anywhere near my computer.

...really? Are you sure you didn't just only get the first episode for free? Some of those kinds of story games were released like that. That seems above and beyond Epic's usual shit.

The license is tied to playing it through the Epic store. Tried it both ways. Plays all the episodes fine playing through Epic. Only lets you play the first episode as a non-Steam game startup, even using the epic launcher as the executable.

But I play mostly on Steam link, so that doesn’t work for me. Luckily it finally came out in Steam. But that’s my last purchase from them.
