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.
