I don't know much about Epic. As the company representative on the boards, can you tell me more about your offering?
1) Is it a paid service, or can I join and just hoover up all the free games?
2) Do you do Mac stuff?

It's not a paid service, Epic are giving away the free games to get people to download their installer/shop front in the hope people will move away from Steam. You need to give them card details because the way things are setup you "buy" the free games from the store and go through the checkout process for £0.00 which requires you giving them card details.
The installer is for Mac OS as well as Windows but I have no idea how many of the games would be cross platform.

Not very many so far - I think Subnautica and a few of the indies have been compatible, but the rest are Windows only.
Edit: Actually, after checking the launcher, it's more like 50/50 which isn't that bad.

Proper break this time
Path of Exile 2 trailer:
I've been playing (the first one) a fair bit recently, just because it's a great drop-in diablo-like. I think Tencent bought a majority share between when I was last playing and now, but doesn't seem to have made a huge difference to the pricing model. It's still genuinely free to play... The only thing that does affect gameplay is that additional stash slots cost money, and that's kind of necessary if you want to do the really late game stuff. Though not that necessary if you install a loot filter and aren't that fussed about min-maxing and getting obsessive about shit. Certainly can run through the main game without paying anything, and with no negatives beyond being slightly ruthless with picking up crap/'storing it for when I play as a hunter'.
