Some of the Lego games are fine but they are basically just the movies.

[LordBaal]

The starwars ones were fine. Good to pass the time. And life saving if you have kids around.

Lego City Undercover (or as I call it, Grand Theft Lego) was IMO the best of the bunch.

[Robsoie]

My nephew highly enjoyed the Lego Avengers one,  it probably helped that he likes the serie of marvel movies a lot as this lego game was set in the movies serie, not in the comic book universe (unlike a couple of other lego marvel  games).

I once played the demo of that one on my brother in law playstation 4, seemed interesing indeed.

Okay, it seems less ashes and more "anything with a stardock launcher" -- I'm seeing it with sins of a solar empire, too (mistook it for ashes, worked out anyway ). It also seems to be strictly the multiplayer content, not the full game. So the answer seems to be 'yes, but actually no', heh.

How did it work for you? I see the link in SoSE launcher but accessing it tells me to first launch the game. I launch the game, reload the promotions webpage and it keeps telling me "A problem has occured" and to open the game first. Do I need Stardock account?

[Frumple]

I have no idea! Got zero interest in playing the game in question, heh. Was just confirming the offer apparently exists. What it takes to actually take advantage of it I got no clue.

Civilization 6 is free on Epic Game Store.
What's the deal with EGS? They giving a major title away for free every week now?

EDIT: the Aztec DLC is included with the deal

[E. Albright]

I can only assume they're not happy about how much their other gimmicks have cut into Steam's market dominence, so they're stepping up their promos to try to expand their userbase "in these trying [i.e., sedentary] times".

[Persus13]

I mean, they've been doing free games since they launched, they've just moved the timetable to be weekly now.

[LordBaal]

Since the Metro scandal I dislike them back then but didn't pay much to it anyway (it wasn't like I'm buying games anyway), then the chinese spyware hit and decided NEVER fall for it, they'll have to literally gift out almost all Warhammer, Starcraft and Age of Empires games combined to even get me to think about it.

One could always try the GOG Galaxy program but I'm sure it stills require you to install the Epic program anyway. Also I'm sure my Toaster would implode into a black hole if I even try to install something like Civ 6

They've been doing that for a real long time. Maybe a year?

[E. Albright]

I believe the question was not so much about whether they've been giving away games, but rather the prominence of the games given away. That's certainly how I interpreted the question.

[Robsoie]

It makes sense in those game store wars situation with steam/ubi/epic/ea, to attract more potential customers to your own store it's logical to give away big titles rather than minor or crappy ones (especially if one of your competition gives away a popular game).

[A Thing]

They are also giving away just the base game of Civ 6. I've seen it go on sale for pretty cheap before, but the expansions seem to stay fairly high priced, so I imagine this isn't hurting 2K all that much sales wise.
