Like what the title says. There's always a catch unless it's FOSS. So, what is the catch with them giving games for free that you can keep forever? What will the developers of the games get as a thank you?

The catch is you have to install the Epic app or whatever it is called.

Also they hate Linux and shitcanned the already-existing native Linux port of Rocket League when they bought it. It's fair to say you won't dump resources into making new Linux ports but shitcanning a quality one that already existed? They can eat shit.

I never played Rocket League again after that.

    You have always been able to claim the games for free on the website.

    You can claim them, sure. But you'll need their launcher when you want to play them.
