Nostalgia edition is a sure sign it's bleeding players and they obviously have no idea how to replicate that success with fresh gameplay under a fresh name. It would be of immense help for Epic if their store took off (it even has cart now), but they destroyed a lot more goodwill with exclusives than they got with freebies. I hate-claimed 300+ games for free, never install anything from there and still wouldn't pay for an exclusive. Even if I didn't hate EGS I would never buy a game unless it's been out for a few years and is deeply discounted. Good luck, Epic, you'll need it, you overextended yourself and it's downhill from here.
