Epic Games Store now open!

[ChrisFilter]

lol, no. Update GoG, it's still in Beta. The last couple of (recent) releases haven't caused any syncing issues.

Ah, TBF I haven't had any issues in the last month or so.

Just had a quick count, I've grabbed 192 free games from the Epic Store, and bought 1

 

[labbby]

I’m not far off that

I'm curious, does the Epic launcher use 10% - 13% cpu usage sitting idle on the desktop for anyone else?

 

[arc@css]

At the mo, I'm seeing around 3 - 4% usage.

Tempted to pop my Epic Games Store cherry and pick up Super Meat Boy Forever. $10 with the the coupon...

I wanted to pop my cherry for Epic with RDR2 for £26 but decided not to because I have no idea when I'll get round to playing it and by then it might be cheaper, I did try looking for something to take advantage of the £10 voucher but nothing really taking my fancy

Same here, there's nothing much that appeals to me, well, that meets the requirements of the voucher anyway.

I did briefly consider Mortal Shell though I think I'd be spending for the sake of it.

Edit: went for Borderlands 3 in the end.

I was tempted to first use the voucher on Metro Exodus, but I won't have a PC capable of running it properly for a few more months, so guess I'll wait for the summer sale and collect even more free games in the meantime

The way the price keeps coming down on that one it will be free at some point

Deffo, shame i got it a few weeks ago on steam. My no brainer was Mafia definitive edition. £16.24 is a great price.

Its pretty much true for me too I was 41c on my CPU and closed Epic Launcher and straight away temp has dropped to 32/33c!
Launch it again, 41c, closed it again its dropped to 32c.

Ooh, maybe so - then I'll keep my Epic-store purchase-cherry intact!
