Claimed GTA5 (when they recovered) and if that screenshot is true, Civ6 being next is awesome. Both games have been on my Steam wishlist for a couple years. The other two I'm not really bothered about but hey I'll claim it because why not. Think I have about 50 games in my Epic library and only actually bought like 4 of them.

That Epic gamestore is still a horrible place. It took me numerous tries and about 15 minutes to be able to log onto it yesterday, I just kept on getting the same error message then when I did manage to log on I got disconnected from it and it was back to square one, with the same issue of not being able to log on. The thing was launched a while ago and they still haven't fixed the thing, rather than spending money on other things they need to spend some on their shop and fix it and all of it's numerous issues, bugs and still lack of features.

Show me where I'm complaining about free stuff. What I'm complaining about is not being able to log onto a gamestore that I have to log onto to play the games I own on that gamestore, I'm complaining about the gamestore in general that is still flawed and at times unusable even after the length of time it has been launched with it's missing features and all that not once did I mention anything about free games.

Got wind of a special offer:

Fart Simulator 2018 is only 40 pence on Steam. :)

*EDIT* bought Monopoly whilst on offer, and the game will not launch unless I create a Ubisoft account. Wow, that feels harsh. I don't want to create an account... I've already paid... I... grrr... :x
“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

Looks like ARK: Survival Evolved is not the fourth free game on the epic store as predicted. The game itself isn't even on the store at all let alone free. They do have a game called Overcooked for free in it's stead. Out of those 4 games that were previously mentioned, I think that was the one I was wanting the most which is typical to my luck it being the one being missed out.

Bummer :(
I think all games that were offered for free so far debuted on Epic the very same day. :)

Sounds like a good game, but the download is over 100 Gigabytes. I think my hard drive just ran screaming from the room. :(

I've managed to calm the poor thing down. Now I just have to wait for the download to run its course.
