Epic Games plans to give away 17 free games during its annual holiday sale for the Epic Games Store, the company announced on Wednesday.
PSA to everyone that has never played Destiny 2.
tldr; Epic is giving away Destiny 2: Legacy Collection. You’ll have to give Bungie whole bunch more money if you really want to play. Don’t give Bungie your hard earned money because Destiny 2 is now pay to win and they’ll always try to screw you. Don’t get sucked into this game and give this horrible company your money.
According to the article, Epic is giving away Destiny 2: Legacy Collection which contains The Witch Queen, Beyond Light, and Shadowkeep. If you’ve never played Destiny 2 and think this seems great because now you can start playing Destiny 2 for the first time. This isn’t so. You’ll still need to spend bunch of more money if you want access to seasonal content and they’re really not an optional. Just when you thought you’re done, you’ll then have to buy the Dungeon content which isn’t part of season pass. Oh by the way you can’t just buy season pass with money. You have to purchase their premium currency and then buy season pass with that currency which means you’ll always have a left over premium currency. This is definitely scammy and it’s by design.
Destiny 2 is dystopian microtransaction hellscape. They’ve been adding layers of microtransactions for years and this is the result. If you want to see how bad it has gotten watch this video by Aztecross.
Warframe is a free alternative to destiny , its in steam and runs on linux. For those looking for that type of game. There is a warframe community on lemmy too.
I was thinking about playing destiny 2 for a while until I got this video recommended to me randomly. After watching it, all I can say is the developers have to pay me more than I earn on my job for me to even consider playing it.
I won’t support any store that sabotages Linux on purpose. Just earlier today I read a lame excuse for them to not support Linux with Fortnite despite only needing to click a single checkbox. Of course, it’s easy not getting tempted since I don’t have a windos system to begin with.
Bad take.
I’ll remind you that Steam needs SOME competition in order to actually get better, and I can’t think of anyone else able to do it (Microsoft has kinda already tried and failed). Remember when Steam suddenly addressed long-standing issues with the client and storefront a couple years ago? That was because the EGS appeared.
I’ll also remind young folks that the Internet was extremely negative regarding steam when it was new. Yes, I’ve been on Steam for 20+ years.
Tldr: EGS is fine. Relax.
Edit: clarity
It’s more than clicking a single box when they build. They will have to provide support for Linux systems, that’s the real kicker. Also their anti cheat might not like Linux.
Not saying they shouldn’t, it’s ridiculous that they don’t support Linux. But there are valid reasons.
Until Bungie gives me back the content I already paid for, that company can rot in hell. I feel for the devs who point stuff out to leadership and tell them exactly what they need to do to fix their reputation, but the leadership saying “player’s still love us” means that piece of shit scumbag, Pete Parsons, can go get dry fucked by splintering balsa wood.
I won’t play the Legacy Collection, not even when it’s free. Fuck you, Bung-hole.
I stopped playing way back during Forsaken, and even then I was getting soured on the game.
Then I found out they effectively deleted the first couple year’s worth of content and I got pissed off for the community.
Look Epic, those are very nice presents but as I told you many times already, I am happily married to Steam and I plan to keep it that way. Please respect my decision and stop sending me gifts, it´s getting awkward and honestly you´re making an ass of yourself.
I am polygameous
And that´s just one of the reasons it would never work out. We simply don´t fit!
Nah honey
No thanks. We don’t need a spyware on our systems.
Heroic games launcher :3
Yes I am aware of that launcher but I don’t want to support a shady company.
Can you claim these freebies in that?
You can claim the freebies on the website from any web browser.
Yeah used it before not the best to say the least m8. I tried to play celeste and couldn’t even get past the intro although when heroic does work it works wonders
Tbh I love Steam, but I think it’s nice with a little competition. Definitely checking this out
I got excited but unfortunately the first game is Destiny and they don’t even mention the rest of them. That’s probably the one game I wouldn’t even take free.
I hope they give away AAA titles.
Usually a couple towards the end
Nice! Alan Wake 2 + the Remaster for 30 bucks seems like a great deal!
Destiny is free on all platforms. So this isn’t anything
