I really enjoy how people realize that Epic's goal is to get people to build a large library of free games on their platform so they feel more invested and more likely to buy games on it in the future...and then they feel like they've uncovered some great conspiracy.

Breaking News: Company entices customers with free items in effort to increase business traffic!

I've been a PC gamer since the early 90's and it blows my mind that PC users are by FAR the whiniest when it comes to being asked to use another platform to access content when it costs them the least to do so.

Console exclusives require the purchase and setup of additional hardware that takes up space in the house and uses extra A/V inputs plus the use of their own controllers along with signing up for a totally different ecosystem...but the complaining that comes from the console realm is not anywhere near as loud as PC gamers when faced with the horror of installing a free launcher that they don't have to use or even run unless they actually want to access the content.
It's not the second game. They've been doing this since December 2018.
Here's just a few previous ones.

Drawful 2 April 2 - April 9, 2020

Quote from demiurg :
Thin evidence, just someone's phone made photo of an 'ad'? We'll find out I guess
It looks like a PowerPoint presentation, probably to Epic's partners. But yeah, low cost of waiting to find out: If you were gonna buy one of these games in the next week, wait until you see if the rumor is confirmed.

I'm still playing Civ IV from time to time. Who has a good comparison of Civ IV and Civ VI?

I guess I'm glad I ignored the advice and bought Witcher 3 with coupon before the nurfed it.
