Like other entries in the award-winning Civilization series before it, Sid Meier's Civilization VI challenges you to build an empire to stand the test of time. Playing as one of 20 leaders in the base game with different perks and abilities, you guide your chosen civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Research new technologies, conduct diplomacy, and wage war as you pursue one of five possible victory conditions.
That logic only works if said users transition into paying customers. Epic wants you to either buy games from them or get hooked intonone of their “free” games like Fortnite. They do not profit at all by people redeeming and playing giveaways.

Just by installing and having an epic account will inevitably draw other people in that will spend money and lure in investors and developers. They’re not dumb.
Really don’t think of it from an individual point of view, but as a whole.
