It’s a tweet from user PC_Focus_ that states:
The next Epic Store FREE games has been leaked:
13th game: Ghostrunner
14th game: Escape Academy
15th game: 20 minutes till dawn
16th game: A plague tale innocence
17th game: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Instead they divide the playerbase, the game dies quietly (at worst) or slowly cooks until it’s released on Steam and then it either does the same there or maybe they get the hoped explosion if it wasnt already on EGS.
Edit: Best case would be platforms dealing in feature exclusivity like SteamOS, Steam Deck, forums, mod integrations, groups, friends, achievememts, rewards (u points/steam points) for cosmetics etc. instead of dividing player bases.
