Like what the title says. There’s always a catch unless it’s FOSS. So, what is the catch with them giving games for free that you can keep forever? What will the developers of the games get as a thank you?

      I do not recommend running Epic software at all.

        But imagine if someone did want to use it, what would be your recommended approach? You seem quite knowledgeable in this area and I’m sure we could all learn something.

          You might want to read my other comments elsewhere on this post.

          Please keep in mind that no matter what technical measures you take, accepting Epic’s “free” games requires agreeing to their terms and conditions, which they can change after you get the games. I really don’t recommend it.
