Grand Theft Auto V will be free to claim on the Epic Games Store until May 21st

The Epic Games Store continues to give out free games to entice users to its platform, and this time, they've got a pretty big game to offer. Grand Theft Auto V is going to be available for free, starting May 14th. You'll have until May 21st to add the game to your account, and you'll get to keep it forever once you do so.

UPDATE: It appears the Tweet was not meant to go up quite yet, as it has now been removed from the official Twitter account.

So... Does this mean that Rockstar concedes on having their own launcher? It certainly don't make much sense to give away San Andreas on your own store and V on the competition.

... Unless they have the same opinion as I do (I tried, but V was just a bunch of samey missions with some cutscenes of unlikable characters to me). But that's not very likely :unsure:

Also : gotta love the reactions here. It's not like their launcher is worse than origin, uplay or whatever Rockstar had, but the hatred to epic is so ingrained in some people's skulls that you almost have to admire the stubbornness.

Almost. If I'm honest, I just pity them. But ey... Just my opinion,y'know. :)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

There are very few legitimately good things about Steam that make it "better" than other store fronts. The chat feature and the controller mapping are the only things I find to actually be good. The community section isn't really any better than other forums, and a lot of sites let you make groups, share screenshots, etc. Just about every feature of Steam can be done externally (even the controller mapping via programs like antimicro).
Rather ironically considering my stance, but I do have a very good argument : Proton. Valve has brought around 6'500 games to Linux with it, which is no small feat.
But again : I'll easily reboot into my windows partition if it means playing great games for free.

I'm tempted to install that launcher, claim that game, even though I already own it twice already, and then uninstall that launcher again.

I'm going to nab it hoping for it to be added to GeForce Now so my ancient rig can run it more or less flawlessly... if not i'm convinced i can run it at potato quality just fine.
