Basically, giving something away for free that would normally have a cost is a market manipulation tactic. Epic does this as a means to draw customers away from their competition, primarily Valve, thereby reinforcing their position in the capitalist market.
They’re not drawing me anywhere. I made the mistake of buying something on there once and was dismayed to find that the updates for the game that had been available on Steam for months just weren’t applied to Epic.
Now I just grab all the free stuff which is usually a bit older and thus fully updated anyway.
