Epic will be providing $15 coupons again as part of their Xmas promo.

Note that there is now a new shopping cart feature which means you may be able to add multiple items to your cart before applying the $15 coupon.

Note that the $15 off will only apply to games over $22.99 and not the total cart amount.

From Epic US

Yes, you read that correctly. Every full game you buy over the cost of $14.99 will receive a $10 off coupon applied at checkout, with no limit on how many games you can purchase. That means that no matter how many games are in your shopping cart, at least up to the 50 item transaction cap, any that cost over $14.99 after a sale discount has been applied will have an additional $10 off coupon applied.

Stay tuned for the daily freebies.

    No one actually spends money on EGS, right? It's all freebie libraries.

      I've bought a few things on EGS where they've been a bargain.

      If the price is the same I'll buy on Steam.

      Over the years EGS has given me well over 100 freebies, I understand they're trying to buy marketshare, but I don't buy into the irrational hate they attract. A competitor for Steam is good in general.

        Yeah, Epic give incentive to list exclusively, the game studio chooses to accept or not, and Epic get the hate. I don't see the equivalent anger aimed at real estate agents who list exclusively.

    • muwu on 16/12/2021 - 23:54

      I've bought a few great indies when these coupon deals come up. Getting games like Hades around the ~$10 mark is insanity. I kinda wished I paid full price for it - one of my all-time faves, and hope SuperGiant have done really well to keep going.

      There are a few of the best 2021 indies on the cheap here:

      Inscryption $14
      Death's Door $14
      Chicory: A Colorful Tale $15

      I got Death's Door with the last coupon. Well worth your time and $14. Should have won indie GOTY.

      • Kozhutki on 17/12/2021 - 11:46

        death's door is okay, the combat is pretty basic and i think the only real big positive are some of the boss fights are cool. otherwise it's just pretty generic for an indie game

      • trippy on 17/12/2021 - 12:39

        Death's Door shows up as $21.71 for me, which puts it under the $22.99 needed to use the $15 voucher.

        One thing to watch out for, though: At some point you can’t progress unless you’ve lost the game at least twice but there’s no way to know, it just assumes you’ll lose twice naturally.

    • Aureus on 17/12/2021 - 00:15
      +7

      Only a couple of things, using these coupons.

      Steam takes a greedy 30% cut from developers and they have only been able to get away with it, because they dominate the market. Epic takes a 12% cut.

      If a game is on both platforms I would pick Epic over Steam because I buy games to support developers, not middlemen.

      • ctg on 17/12/2021 - 07:57
        +2

        I think Epic gets enough in royalties from UE licensing to be honest.

        Developers can charge more for their game on Steam if they like, and get all the benefits the Steam platform has over Epic.

        I'm all for developers, Indie ones especially, but they still have a choice.

        • freefall101 on 17/12/2021 - 10:01
          +3

          Yup, Epic store is a loss maker and might always be.

          However, it's a fraction of the cash they make from Fortnite, so who cares? We get competition, developers get more cash and a choice, literally no one loses from this except Epic who are more than willing to take a chance on this.

          Only thing I don't like are forced exclusives, but you can't win them all. That never stopped me buying a console despite it being common there.

                  Businesses with large incomes from other departments can take losses in one department for a long time in the hope they eventually gain a significant amount of the market.

        Steam offers more than most for their cut. It's absolutely too much, but what exactly does Apple, Google or Epic offer for their cut (market share is irrelevant)?

        Epic has zero features that make a store feel like a store. Took three years for a (profanity) shopping cart? The most egregious feature missing are reviews, practically the most basic mechanic of an online store.

        I don't understand people thinking buying on EGS sticks it to the man. You're being a contrarian for what? Epic as a company is as dodgy as the rest of them, do you honestly think the developers are being paid extra since they have to pay 18% less in fees?

        • Aureus on 17/12/2021 - 12:17
          +5

          I don't care about the extra junk that Steam has. Trading cards, animated backgrounds, community groups etc. User reviews would be nice. Epic has "OpenCritic" reviews for some of the games. Also I find the Steam UI busy, can't even remove the ads from library view.

          I am not being a contrarian. I think the Epic store works well. UI is nice and minimal. Games always download fast. And most importantly for me, more of the money is going to the developers. If you think Epic store sucks and Steam is perfect, that's fine, but I think you are being a little bit dramatic.

          • Kozhutki on 17/12/2021 - 13:13
            +2

            @Aureus: And that's fair that all the random stuff Steam has is not for you. The same way people don't understand why others need achievements in games (I'm in the middle), but I still like options. And to your last point, I don't think Steam is perfect at all. Valve is slow with so many things, there's still so many outdated areas of the client, not to mention all the failed experiments they've done.

            I'm not a Valve dick rider (even though I've adored all of their games), it's just personally being a gamer on PC most of my life, I appreciate what they've done for PC and what progress they've made for the future. I don't appreciate new stores opening up and offering not even a fraction of what should be considered standard and trying to get a piece of the pie while bringing in the toxic console exclusivity deals. And yeah, I get it, they have to do something to try and gain market share, but evidently buying exclusivity rights isn't working.

            I don't fault or care about people getting games for cheap or using EGS, that's the whole purpose of this website, I mean I rarely buy off Steam anyway when there's plenty of third parties that are much more competitive.

          do you honestly think the developers are being paid extra since they have to pay 18% less in fees?

          For indie devs, definitely — on a $30 game they’d make $26.40 instead of $21, and with these coupon deals (unless something changed recently), Epic actually pays the devs the coupon difference out of their own pocket so if buying a game like Severed Steel for A$26.96 - $15 = $11.96 for example, devs actually receive more money from Epic on the purchase than from me.

          For larger game companies, whether actual employees see any benefit from the extra money would vary.

            @Sven Viking:

            For indie devs, definitely

            Debatable, most indies aren't self published and it's not uncommon for indie devs to get bad deals. And you're right, Epic does pay the coupon, and good on them for doing that, otherwise this coupon thing wouldn't be feasible in the slightest.

            I don't fault indie devs taking the EGS deals, it's guaranteed money in a very competitive market.

            • TogTogTogTog on 22/12/2021 - 11:13

              @Kozhutki: I don't see an issue at all. EGS makes Steam more competitive and Steam offers more features but takes a higher fee.

              Let the devs/market decide - lose 30% but gain all the Steam benefits, or go with EGS at 12% and get basically nothing.

                      It's also not fair to say Steam took 5+ years to implement a shopping cart; it's expected everyone has one now.

                  Valve announced changes to their revenue share agreement four days before EGS was officially announced, which is widely considered to be more than a coincidence since it hadn’t changed for 15+ years prior to that. The changes only benefit big publishers though.

                    Not entirely. Most of the time yeah but it is just $ revenue and not quantity so it's a little more obtainable for indie hits.

    • zbys on 17/12/2021 - 00:30

      This was my pick last sale also. Started off as a great game to play with young kiddos, they got to spam the space bar to honk… but then they cry when the goose is a jerk. Given the tagline of the game is "It's a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible goose." I haven't been able to finish all but the first few objectives with them.

      Doesn’t have a price for it yet

      • Aerith-Waifu on 17/12/2021 - 00:21

        It will be a rip off $99 i think

          It will be $115 afaik

          It's $115 since Square Enix so generously decided to raise the RRP of their new game releases.

    • Butt Scratcher on 17/12/2021 - 01:47

      $114.95…

      That's pretty insane even with the $15 coupon.

      They must be trying to claw back some of the money the paid for the exclusive rights…

        it does not have denuvo according to crackwatch so it might be available to download early if you are one of those people :)

          Such a massive install, ETA 1 day (will probably end up stretching to 2 days). I've waited 1.5 years for it, I suppose 2 days isnt much in the grand scheme of things.

          But seriously, $115 dollars and we don't even get a plastic coaster with a cd key in it

          • Ostrk on 17/12/2021 - 16:14

            @Butt Scratcher: The port is pretty bad too from what I've seen so far lol $115 btw

    • Bid Sniper on 17/12/2021 - 15:41

      Dead by day light was free just last week.

        And it should be free anyways, it's practically a f2p game locked behind a 30 bucks cost.

      • wakie on 17/12/2021 - 03:50

        oh was it? Good deal
