# EpicGames Freebies Claimer
## ⚠️Status⚠️
EpicGames has made captchas mandatory for claiming free games. Currently, epicgames freebies claimer cannot handle this, so [it is not working](https://github.com/Revadike/epicgames-freebies-claimer/issues/172). I am trying to fix it by implementating anti captcha solutions. You can track my progression [here](https://github.com/Revadike/epicgames-freebies-claimer/pull/184). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

## 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..."](https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/epic-ceo-youre-going-to-see-lower-prices-on-epic-games-store/)
