@daidochus: Hey, Mat here. Writer of this article. We don't write these articles for Epic, we write them for our audience. Also, we don't talk about how great Epic is, just the deals they offer that are actually great. In fact, we write about every sale, deal, and giveaway from every reputable retailer that we believe is A) actually good and B) worthwhile for our readers. We turn down a lot of pitches to write about specific sales and the like because they're either not great deals or just not relevant to our audience. We are never offered money, nor would we accept it, to write about anything.
Epic's holiday sale + free game giveaways are absolutely worth highlighting for people who play games and would obviously like to save as much money as possible to play them. We've done the same for Steam's free-play weekends and multiple sales throughout the year, but these just aren't as frequent as what Epic has been doing with its free weekly games. One day, Epic will likely stop giving away free games, and we'll stop writing as many Epic stories. That's how it goes.
Once I got a handle on the controls, I thought I was the King of Mechs. However, seeing some of the devs play, I could tell there was a huge gap between my skill and theirs. I wouldn't worry about this being dumbed down.
@June-GS: Thanks, June! I appreciate you letting me know kindly. Also, always feel free to correct my pronunciation or anything else, really. I'm doing this for you and everyone else who watches my videos, so I 'oughta do it right. :)
