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.

Probably going to be used as proof of how few people actually like Epic,
I think. "They literally gave away a quality game that released
yesterday, and people STILL preferred spending money with Steam!"
