Epic has announced it will be giving away 16 free games over
Christmas. Assuming they start today (with the usual Thursday freebie)
and offer one new game per day, that should see us through to [quickly
does maths] Dec 28. Which seems an unusual date to quit on, so I'm
guessing some days will get doubled up.

So that's good news (well, except for everyone here who will have to
read my daily announcements about the freebies ;-). I mean, who can
turn their nose up at free games? The Church of The Number is pleased.

And it's great that Epic is on giving us all 16 free games. That's
sure is a lot of games! I guess the Fortnite Fund still has a few
billion dollars left in it.

In other news, expect free games #31 & #32 from me* later today. ;-)

* yeah, you guessed it;, the entire point of this post was to snark at
Epic about how I'm giving away more games than them this year. :-P
