  • PSA: Epic is Giving Out Celeste for Free Today

    Get one of 2018's best games for free.
    Celeste and TABS

    Since its release in January 2018, Celeste has been near universally praised by critics and fans alike. Over on OpenCritic, Celeste has an average review score of 91% with 100% of critics recommending the game. It's even hit that coveted "overwhelmingly positive" threshold on Steam from all user reviews.

    But we're not here to talk about Steam right now. We're here to talk about the Epic Games Store and the fact that Celeste is available for free. You had best act fast though because this game is only available for free for one day. This is ignoring the fact that Celeste was already available for free on the EGS back in August.

    Tomorrow, the Epic Games Store is teasing another free game. In fact, the lead up to tomorrow had Epic teasing the availability of one of "2019's most-watched games." The icon appears to indicate that they will be giving away Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (TABS). I'm not sure what metrics they've been looking at, but I haven't seen a single list that had TABS as one of the most watched games of this or any year. I really thought it was going to be Grand Theft Auto V, but alas it seems not.

    Anyway. Free games. Woo! There are still big sales going on at Steam and EGS, at GOG.com, on Origin, Humble, and probably every other storefront that you can possibly think of right now.

      Google Countersuing Epic Games
      by Shawn Zipay
      Fight fight fight.

      Google is now fighting back against Epic Games as part of the ongoing antitrust litigation between the two companies. A new countersuit was filed by Google against Epic Games and focuses on something called Project Liberty. Project Liberty is the name given to the 2020 plan from Epic that had them adding an alternate payment method to the Android and iOS versions of Fortnite.

      This meant that users could bypass paying Apple or Google for purchases made...

      Epic Games Not Done with Store Exclusives
      by Shawn Zipay
      The exclusives have slowed but only because Epic is focusing on snagging bigger fish.

      If you believed that the period of Epic Games Store exclusives was a thing of the past, you would apparently be wrong. Timed-exclusive Epic Games Store releases were slowing down enough that it would be easy to believe that Epic finally decided to stop doing one of the most hated things to hit PC gaming in years.

      Sadly, that isn't the case.

      During a call discussing the newly...
