I meaaaaaaan........... It kinda speaks for itself. This is kinda really low honestly, getting more sign ups just to redeem a game that last I checked was now breaking the law in a few countries.
To make it absolutly clear as well, this is $10 store credit that you can only use on the epic store. This also wont stack with any other coupon you get. Also, the game has to be over $14.99 for the coupon to work. Doesn't work on pre-orders or in-game purchases.

i seriously still dont get it, just make an epic account and bam, you can get all those games for free. it just seems like ppl are jealous, or stubborn, like "i strictly will only stay on Steam cuz i want to." its there fault for missing out on games. I do get it tho, with Metro: Exodus, but hey, its a free competitive market. It wasnt illegal wat they did right there, and if anything, ppl can still cancel there pre orders, or if they are still that stubborn, they can just stick with buying it.

Not to mention everything from the Epic vs Apple battle where Epic are trying to paint themselves as a tiny indie company being bullied by a large monopoly to gain sympathy votes... Despite being an incredibly large company themselves aiming for a monopoly....
One of the main points people try and give epic is their cut to devs, epic only takes 12% compared to Steam's 30%. Except if you hop over to something like itch.io, that cut can be 100% to devs and that percent is up to them. And ontop of that they do things like this: https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/itchio-ditches-its-revenue-cut-for-black-friday/
Free games? Sure. I claim the free games myself since I had epic from owning save the world when it first came out. It makes epic pay the money instead of me and I'm perfectly fine with that. but epic aint the only platform with free games. Steam often has some, humble often have some, itch has a ton.
The spyware was mostly overblown, yes. However there was a bit of credit to some parts, it did have a scope of files way beyond what it needed for one. The general security is pretty poor too, my epic account has had a ton of attempts on it (I presume someone somewhere can see how many vbucks I have) and yet my steam account? Basically none. Once someone did end up getting through to my epic account somehow, certainly wasn't with the password, but I got 'em kicked out before anything happened and slapped on 2fa.
The exclusivity also breeds greed. For indie studios the extra money could be the difference between the game getting finished and released or being cancelled. For AAA's? Doesn't do crap other than just boosting higher ups' paychecks. And they really don't need even bigger checks. There also needs to be some sanctions on when a deal like that can happen imo. A week before launch on steam? God no. A (finished) backed game which the promised rewards where specifically steam keys? Something needs to be sorted out for that and not just a straight "no".
Also just general toxicity, crunch and all that fun jazz in the company.
