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?

Of course they want to lure you in, but honestly I never bought anything there despite catching the free games regularly. Setting up the account doesn't require much personal information and you can just use tools like Heroic instead of their app.
