FAQ

Why should I use this?

This is for the truly lazy, you know who you are. ;) Also, this is a good alternative, in case you don't like using Epic's client or website (and I don't blame you).

Why should I even bother claiming these free games?

To which I will say, why not? Most of these games are actually outstanding games! Even if you don't like Epic and their shenanigans, you will be pleased to know that Epic actually funds all the free copies that are given away: "But we actually found it was more economical to pay developers [a lump sum] to distribute their game free for two weeks..."

Can I use the looping or multi-account feature when using launch arguments?

No, these are only usable by using the config.
