Lately, it seems like it's more than that. Every week or so I log into twitch prime to grab my free games and I've been getting 3-4 a week.  Sometimes more.

If you're happy with what you've got so far, then all the better for you, congratulations. But, from an outsider, it's hard to comprehend.

Yes, I know they've had to start from zero and that they're pushing the boundaries, but it's been 8 years and there's still no release date. That they're changing plans and delaying the game to add more features instead of doing it once the game launches, like it's the common practice, only highlights that.

Eh, There's tons of stuff in life I've been offered for free, but the whole "free is free", doesn't always mean "it's way better than anything else" kinda free. Plenty of stuff I'm just not into or wanted for free even. Free mints?, naw, free 10yr old game?, pass.

Gimme free money and well, anything that greatly benefits me and I'll gladly take those for nowt. Apart from that, I'll never be using their client, they set a very horrible first impression and they've since stuck with it, and Timmy boy don't care about me, but only the freebie and Fornite crowds, so I'll be sticking with Steam, GoG, Battlenet and Origin for my clients.

Timmy said that features aren't very intergral or important for PC gaming anyway, that's why they don't have a built in user forum, mod support, broadcasting, reviews, full gamepad support, screenshot support etc and more. That's also why we're seeing an influx of trolls and dolt shills from EGS, in the Steam forums, for all those free games, that magically do not work, or are busted, because EG don't care what state they arrive in, just like EA/Ubisoft. Still sitting here, a whole decade and a half later, with my C&C collection from Origin...that still doesn't work on Win 10, yet I can play many a game from GoG and Steam just fine. Heck, I still get freebies from both of those over time as well.

I just wish he'd stop with the pompous attitude, co-operate with the "competition", instead of seeking to overcome and destroy it, as well as putting way more focus on customers, features and services, as well as, y'know, making their very own 1st party games, instead of buying them up or buying up whatever Valve is trying to work with, to prevent them from doing anything (super dick move). I'd really sodding love that apology from Timmy boy himself, after all those yrs of mocking a platform he abandoned for years. Ubisoft owes us that too (still waiting, but I can't wait for that French company to topple if it doesn't come).

So which EGS games "magically do not work, or are busted"?

Which EGS games don't have gamepad support?

Which C&C games (or other Origin games) do not work?

Which Uplay games do not work?

P. S.: I just tried every C&C games on Origin.

Command & Conquer 1, 3, 4, Generals, Renegade and Red Alert 1, 2 and 3 all worked without any problems.

The only problematic game was C&C 2 (Tiberian Sun)... and it took me a total of 2 minutes for finding and installing a proper patch:

Well, I don't really want to get into your fight, but I do recall posting an article about a game having problems on the Epic Store and users using the Steam forum to discuss about it and solve the issue.

The game was Subnautica, btw: https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/epic-games-store-users-have-been-turning-to-steam-for-subnautica-support/

**flies away from this discussion**

The thing with PC is that it's not one standard software or hardware configuration, so whilst something may anecdotally work fine on your machine it may not anecdotally work fine on another.

Let's go with the Wednesday news:

MODS/EMULATORS

This new mod for Doom Eternal enables rocket jumping
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/this-new-mod-for-doom-eternal-enables-rocket-jumping/
Modder ‘Negate The Stars’ has released pretty cool mod that will please a lot of die-hard Doom/Quake fans. As the title suggests, this mod brings rocket jumping to Doom Eternal. Thus, we strongly suggest downloading and using it.
In case you weren’t aware of, Rocket Jumping is the technique of using the explosion of a rocket launcher to launch the shooter. The aim of this technique is to reach heights and distances that standard character movement cannot achieve.
This Rocket Jumping mod comes in three versions. The first one retails the default full damage, while the second one halves the damage that rockets do to half. The third version does not feature any damage, and is essential for those that are not used to using Rocket Jumping.
The mod also sets the “out of bounds” or “world damage” to zero. According to the modder, Doom Eternal comes with many invisible walls that may throw you out of bounds. As such, this tweak will allow you to use Rocket Jumping everywhere.
You can download the mod from here. In order to install it, the modder suggests following the eternal-faq section of the DOOM 2016+ Modding discord channel so that you can enable mods for Doom Eternal.
