Epic Games Store Maintains Free Game Policy Every Week, Yet Struggles to Compete with Steam
Additionally, the policy of the Epic Games Store is not without its drawbacks. As seen this week.
Currently, Epic Games Store users can claim the free game Brotato until December 5.
However, instead of celebrating this announcement, many gamers are expressing their disappointment with the “stingy” offerings from the Epic Games Store. Specifically, numerous opinions suggest that Epic is merely sustaining its “grab and go” policy. Brotato is priced at around 70,000 VND on Steam, and is currently also on sale for up to 40%. The game itself is not particularly remarkable, leading many in the gaming community to feel that the decision made by Epic Games Store this time does not measure up.
Of course, Brotato is not a low-quality game, as it has received many positive reviews on Steam. However, there is little expectation that it will be a game that players eagerly await to receive for free. It’s worth noting that just the week before, Epic Games Store offered Beholder – another title that did not generate much excitement.
Nonetheless, players still have reasons to hope, especially in December, as the Epic Games Store is reportedly set to run a mystery giveaway program, which will include a free game every day. The overall expectation is that these titles will be high-quality and appealing to a wide audience.
