I will claim You don't know Jack on the 24th.
 
It seems it will be a regular biweekly thing. Timezone shouldn't be an issue as each game is available for 2 weeks so just check on Saturdays.
 
Help me out here.... if you're downloading a game via the Epic Games launcher, and you cancel it half way... ( Shut down your computer or close the client ), when you resume downloading, does it start from the beginning again?

I did that with Subnautica. Was like 66% done. I closed the Epic Games launcher thingy, and when I resumed my download it started from 1% again. :mad:

( Apologies for the kinda off topic post here ).

I also saw that, but it looks like it resets the % counter to measure whats left of the download. The download as a whole doesn't restart.
 
Personally, I'm happy to see some competition for Steam, as they were the kings of the market for ages.

Lol EA games has more equity then the Valve, and steam still kicks origin in the face. Steam has a 15 year odd head start with an average of 9 to 10 million odd online concurrent users.Hell the amount peak online users for CS:GO and DOTA likely beats the entire origin platform and epic games combined. EA games did manage at one point 1.3 million users.

Competition ? Hell no, EA games also gave away and still gives away popular games and that still didn't even remotely assist them.

I am curious are they waiting for steam to die of old age ?

EA games are a bad example because they are the biggest money grabbing company in the video game industry. All of their games basically have micro-transactions.

Steam takes big time fees from publishers and all of the users. That's what Epic Games are trying to compete against, by making the better platform publisher wise. I mean if you can make a lot more money by going to another platform, why work with steam?
