I'm still amazed this game was given away for free. It's a brand new
game, as in: it was released for the first time YESTERDAY. It's
released on Steam yesterday. Except there you have to pay $30USD to
play. And yet it's free on Epic for a week.

It really comes across as a big 'fuck you' to Epic. "Yeah, sure,
release this game for free on Epic. Maybe people will grab it there,
but the ones who will actually play it -you know, the ones who would
have bought it- will just turn around and buy it on Steam anyway.
Because that's where people actually PLAY their games. Epic is just
for Number-feeding."

Is that what the devs intended when they made that deal with Epic?
I've no idea. But it sure feels that way.
