For reals. Gotta say, I like the gibz lately, even if it won't make me spend a cent on something that has DRM on it. Shame they still haven't got a proper nomad faction for me to play, from what I can tell. Just another warmongering horse-focused one. Oh well.

Are you sure it has DRM? Many Epic Store games do not.

No idea about Civ 6 in particular. Even if it can be played sans the client, I'd prefer to have an offline installer as an option.

All the client-independent freebies which have landed on Epic are independent game directories are currently able to be archived and saved for later.

In other words you could make your own self-extracting executables from a lot of Epic released games at the moment - the library dependencies are either non-existent or come as part of the installation directory. Buying an "offline installer" at this point is throwing money away imo.

Your choice of course.

Anyone know the DLC that was included?

What DLC ?

3 engine DLC

19 country additions DLC

your pay

To be honest, I am being a little bit annoyed. We are waiting a loong time for Civ 5 and 6 to finally come to GOG, so we can buy it, only for 2k to give free version for Epic.

Epic pays for these freebies, that's why 2k does this.

Thanks, no one seemed to know except you :)

Redeemed, downloaded, installed, started playing "just to see how it is"...I look on my watch - dang! - four and a half hours later ...time really flies with this kind of games. :)

I can't find it now, but in one of the other Epic threads there was a mention of Civ being leaked as the next game (which now it is) and what that meant in terms of the upcoming freebies.

Anyone recall which thread or which games those were?

thanks

Borderlands the Handsome Collection next, followed by ARK Survival Evolved.

thanks!

Are you sure that there are also DRM-free Games on Epic? Do you have a list of these games?
Maybe anyone can help to answer this question?
