I assume you get to keep them. Does it work on your end? Offer might be region-locked, come to think of it.

Do you get to keep these copies or do they last only the week? I have them on GOG, so it's not like I can't send them to friends or anything, but it's good to know for the future.
You keep them forever. The Epic Store has been doing this shit for a long time. You have missed a lot of free games, boy.
I have gotten there nearly all games since it started (perhaps missed one to three games) two years ago. The best games were Total War: Troy and Subnautica (didn't play Hades much, but Operencia ). People will complain with "Tencent spyware", but if one uses the UE 4 there is only the other way of older versions on GitHub. And since Epic cooperates with "Geforce now" and "Gog" it has become quite the valid store. Always around December they have quite the gifts for the players, like in this week PoE and Tranny. So what do you think will be the next weeks Surprise game?
Also i do not complain about the monthly free Unreal Engine Assets.

Doesn't the epic store infect your system with their own launcher like Steam? I hate that.

They don't give away dumb crap, but legit good games: Subnautica, Super Meat Boy, What Remains of Edith Finch, Thimbleweed Park, Enter the Gungeon, Overcooked, Limbo, Hyper Light Drifter, Celeste, Inside, Abzu, Metro 2033, Minit, The Messenger, Rayman Legends, Into the Breach, Superhot, Ape Out, Faster Than Light, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, The Talos Principle, The Stanley Parable, Civilization 6, and now Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny.

Then there's the stuff you might want to try, but you would never actually spend money on: Slime Rancher, The Witness, Transistor, Torchlight, Mutant Year Zero, Fez, SOMA, Jotun, Tooka-Layle, Darksiders 1 and 2, Farming Simulator (?), Carcassone, Ticket to Ride, For the King, Borderlands, Remnant From the Ashes, Hitman 2016.

And then a bunch of AAA shit, if you care about that: For Honor, Alan Wake, all the Batman Arkham games, Assassin's Creed, Watchdogs 1 and 2, Just Cause 4, GTA V.

I mean, fuck.

Yeah, because Steam is such a high quality platform. I only use Steam because it lets me get games. If the Epic Store gives me those same games for free, it's doing a better job.
Steam is tolerated because its just one thing you need to launch and all your games are there. If you need to run 57 programs (anyone that says "apps" should be sodomised with a pineapple) just to play all your games, it defeats the purpose.

All these "launcher" things are cancer. Including GOG, but at least theirs is optional. You can still play games the normal way without some shit spyware eating your RAM in the background.

And nobody disagrees with that. But if I have to choose between a cancer that constantly spams anime dating simulators and a cancer that gives me free good games, well, I don't really like anime to begin with. And it's not like you have to open all your launchers at the same time. When you want to play a game, you click on its icon and the launchers launches with it. And if you care about tour RAM, you can close the launcher as soon as the game starts. Or, as a good future citizen of the People's Republic, you can just buy more RAM to let our beloved overlords spy on us with ease.

This. I don't like Sweeney and don't use his store since I can afford to get the stuff I want somewhere else, but they have given out some seriously good games. They're likely building up an entire generation of customers. I'd probably have been all over this had this happened during my younger/poorer years.

Come on Tyranny isn't that bad. Not as bad as, say, Tides of Numenera. It's got a unique setting and the magic system has some redeeming qualities.
I mean, I can shit on Tyranny all day long for a variety of reasons, but it does have redeeming qualities and at the end of the day it was a great project hampered by what must've been a shoestring budget. All the set-pieces and aspirations are there, it just ends up not being that great.

Setting the bar as low as Tides of Numenera is simply unfair. That game is the turd that just keeps on turding.
