Epic Games Store Giveaways Total Over $2K [May 17, 2020, 1:43 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
PCGamesN busted out a calculator to figure out the value of all the
games given away for free on the
Epic Games Store during their promotional freebies spree. This
added up quickly, as we are surprised to see the retail value of all these
giveaways comes to more than USD$2,000. Here's word:
We added up the full list of 108 free games that Epic’s had on offer since launch, using the regular sale price of the base versions of each game – the versions of the software that have been offered as the freebies, basically. Sure, some of these games have been available deeply discounted or free elsewhere, but we’re going with the non-sale price as a rough gauge of how valuable each title is.
All together, from Subnautica to Grand Theft Auto V this week, the total value of the free games the Epic Games Store has given away is $2,140.94 USD. That’s equivalent to £1,768.83, although the total value in pounds is probably a bit different due to regional pricing variations.

I know a lot of people don't like Sweeney's tactics, but a Steam monopoly is better? What's the alternative?
Oh it has nothing to do with what people like or what's better for gamers, or anything like that. This is just like politics these days. It's a my-side/your-side based argument where my-side are the only intelligent, morally responsible people and your-side are the embodiment of pure evil.
These people have gone past logic and are all about ideology now. They've identified with 'their-side' whichever that is, so thoroughly, their belief so entrenched that no amount of information or facts are going to sway them.
