$10 coupon off any $15+ seems to work on every item if you add to cart

also shenmue 3 free for next 24 hours (store is kinda fucked right now), should be a new game every day

I kind of like that policy. I don't know how common it is but fake reviews and review bombs are a nuisance to casual consumers looking for trustworthy ratings.
It’s so they can control reviews.

Yeah, I don't trust that they won't tip the scales to get people to BUY BUY BUY. It'll be obvious if those reviews start to differ from other places like Steam. Especially if there are statistically significant differences for certain publishers.

TL;DW: People use Epic Game Store for the free games, launcher, and nothing else.

And yet I won't touch another game on their platform until they support Linux and the Steam Deck.

As long as they promote exclusive deals, I wont use their service. I have been tempted to make an account, a few times, by free game offers but still continue to hold out.
