A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

EGS isn't paying per download, they're paying the developer an upfront cost to make the game a free offer regardless of how many copies get downloaded.
I stand corrected then if that's the case. But also if more people download them (even if they don't play them or buy on the store elsewhere) then they are likely to make more deals and spend more money :p
They want more active players on their shitty platform. So by claiming and downloading free games you are actually doing what they want you to do.
Yeah, but are you really active if you're not even playing them. You're just a number on some stats sheets for the store itself. I personally have no gripes with EGS myself, by the way. I'm just playing devil's advocate on why even claiming the free games could become detrimental to EGS if you are one more inclined to want it's downfall.
