I'm still gaining more and more games in my epic library I'll never use but love wasting Tim Sweeneys money. Lmao

Edit: nothing good

I just don't know how to claim those via web only. I think you have to install the store on Android.

Yeah I only used the web only. I’ll double check to make sure I didn’t miss this game.

I pirate so a free game isn’t worth it for me if it means I have to get their store app or whatever.

I've counted 38 games in Epic Games. I've played a couple. I've spend $0.

I wouldn't be surprised if they require a game to be downloaded and played to count. I know on PS , if you have already downloaded, after purchase, a refund is less likely, so downloading likely triggers the sale to be complete, with payment to the seller. It could be similar for free games.

Me too. I'm not even a gamer, the only game I've played is Civilization. And maybe one day I'll sell my account for sweet sweet money.
