Isn’t Idle Champions free to play to begin with?

Re: Epic Games storefront: free titles
Comes with all kinds of paid "stuff" that lets you speed up the hamster wheel. I am thinking of running it on both STEAM and Epic at the same time just so I can then have maximum idle gaming.
FWIW, I actually did spend time playing it on STEAM and enjoyed it, which I was not expecting.

Re: Epic Games storefront: free titles
Wow, yeah... I wouldn't have even installed it, but then you guys mentioned logging in to get the free stuff. I played it actively for 90 minutes straight. Never tried this one before, though I definitely spent far more time than I should have with Cookie Clicker and a couple of others back in the day.
It's neat because it seems to advance the genre to being more about the strategy of planning leveling and formations, but I'm annoyed that you're encouraged to be hands off. Like, if it's not to see the silly story develop, what's the point?

I read an article that noted it has been a year since GTAV was the free game, so there is an expectation that next week's game will be a biggie, which no doubt I'll already own

Personally I'm hoping for Train Simulator 2021 with all 628 pieces of DLC.

I would be excited by that if I didn't feel I had to pay the game's value in microtransactions to enjoy the single-player campaign.

The only thing that tempts me is State of Decay 2 for $12 with coupon. If it was almost any other game on my want list Id grab it quick. But Im sitting on this one even at that price.

Well, bugger bunnies. It's still early access. I'll roll with it but heads up for everyone.

I claimed my $10 coupon during the current sale and picked up Grindstone for $5.99.
Jesus said, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body."[Matt 10:28] God can totally destroy us.
Jesus also said, "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”[John 6:40] Eternal life is conditional.
His disciple John wrote, "Whoever has the Son has eternal life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have eternal life. [1 John 5:12] Eternal life is optional.

They're giving away some sort of pay content for... or at least that was what it said before the free game switched over to Control. That is also what they did for Idle Champions.

Re: Epic Games storefront: free titles
So regretting not getting this because I already had it in Steam and the free games on Epic are largely spam for me. Anthology upgrade for $30 would be a no brainer for me. Having a hard time justifying $40 for Anthology on Epic (with coupon) or Steam (for owning base game) but I'm thinking about it. Looks like I have about a week to decide.
That'll learn me not to just log in every Thursday and to take everything no matter what.
