Epic don't need to defend a freebie, it's ******* free.
I get it's a crap game just like NBA was too but then most games given away for free usually are.
Epic, to there credit, have given away some fantastic games. GTA 5, Batman Series (all of them in one giveaway), The Long Dark, >Observer, Just Cause 4, Borderlands Collection, etc. have been amazing for free. There are, also, a ton of fantastic games I'd never have played had it not been for Epic like Axiom Verge, A Short Hike, Abzu, Gone Home, Lifeless Planet, etc. I can't really complain for the games I've had and not had to spend a penny on.
