    You aren’t supporting them by accepting free games and then not using them. It costs them money to give them to you.

      We found out in the Apple lawsuit that the games are fixed price for Epic, so you can download or not as you wish - individually you do not make their cost go up.

          Its not about the sales at that point (obviously), its about bolstering the user base. Everything boils down to advertising these days. The more people they have registered on their platform, the wider advertising audience.

          Go tell any ad company that you have a website with X million weekly users, and they will suck your dick to place their ads there.
