I'm hurt at your distrust in my ability to flood CSIPGA with pointless
free games announcements ;-)
However... it seems I was mistaken. I think I misread the clock on the
EGS store and made -given Epic's past behavior- leapt to conclusions
(either that or Epic changed their minds and altered the clock. I
wouldn't put that past them either). The next game isn't releasing in
17 hours (as I first thought) but in 7 days. So next week.
I guess no daily games from them. Wow, the Epic piggy bank really MUST
be getting low.
Oh well, it saves me from having to do so many posts every day.
