Its report cited two former Epic employees who claimed that players love the Epic Games Store for the free games but then immediately go back to Steam after claiming them. The result is an alternative to Valve’s PC gaming storefront that’s still struggling to meaningfully compete. The company reported that it had 78 million monthly active…

Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord is the pulpy, sci-fi crime-thriller that fans are looking for.
