Yes. I like free games, and while I won't pay Epic a cent, I'm not so self-righteous to look a gift horse in the mouth.

They'll learn I claim every free game, and they'll learn what I install and play, but whatever they learn from that will be wasted effort, since it will never turn into a sale.

not (...) look a gift horse in the mouth

Because those folks were not duped at all.
Better to look behind it as well. I will vote with my wallet, my data and my decision that I don't support this giveaway behaviour to increase usage data so they can present great data for their investors.

Okay. That's your prerogative. My point is that nobody gets to decide that for me with blanket statements like, "Do we care about this?"

Yes. I care about it. I can make my own decisions, thanks, and I like to be informed so I can make them.

The blanket decision is a fair point to take.
Yet the decision also stands for me.

You decide the stakes are in your favor because free and other reasons.

I decide against the offer because I don't condone the strategy and prefer the (current) way Valve does it.
