Really basic question but is this free 'for ever' or free for only a week? It Doesn't say on the epic website page, and the link says "batman-free-week".....
6 free Batman games on the Epic store!

I really loved how dark and grungy that game was.

Free is my kind of price 
Amazing deal also Arkham Knight is DRM free (the Steam version still has Denuvo DRM). No DLC for Arkham Knight though & no way to buy it on Epic store either. None of the 3 Arkham games have achievements either they are all without DRM or 3rd party gaming middleware like Steamworks or Xbox Live.

I wondered this when I first installed the launcher they are in your account forever.

The reason I was asking if i should link my MS account to Epic is I was wondering if it would cross play. Because im part through it on the Xbox one X. Arkham Knight that is. That would be cool.

One of my favourite game series. Absolutely amazing amount of content for free. If you enjoy them be sure to track down Origins too. Give Blackgate a miss though.
Really? It's supposed to be the Return to Arkham collection which comes with all the dlc. I know the pc version didn't get the remasters of Asylum and City, but stripping the dlc out of Knight would be silly.

It's free games
Can't complain even if it is not part of the arkham collection

The deal with Phoenix Point is fine and cannot see why all the crying. If you backed the game you get a key for Epic instead of Steam. Not big deal you still play the full game plus first DLC for free. (that wasn't on offer before the Epic deal).
Everyone backed the game on crowdfunding period, was given the option to take their money back or use the Epic platform if they want to play the game immediately on release or wait 1 year to get their keys on Steam/GoG. No big deal here either. Since those didn't like the new deal took out their money, those who want to play the game just installed Epic.
Everything else is crying for the sake of crying showing just how spoiled many are. It makes no sense crying if it is on Steam or Epic. NONE.
Similarly I do not understand people saying "buy ESO through Steam" when ZOS has perfectly stand alone shop and client which pre-exists the Steam one by a whole year without the need to run the game through steam without having the ability to run the client on it's own. Let alone the issues everyone from time to time playing through Steam with outages lasting days.
Also Phoenix Point on Epic can run without Epic after release. Just the stand alone, no DRM client. Something that cannot be said about Steam version of any game.
Some times I feel Steam has bots supporting it's cause, making no sense why so much hate for anything other than it. Hell makes no sense to buy through Steam Ubisoft games for years, as you are forced to run 2 platforms.
And yes is all about the money.

Free forever.

FYI next week (Sept 27- Oct 3) Epic free games to grab are Metro Redux and another one never heard of.

FYI since some were asking - Arkham Knight did not include all the DLC but they have now added it in... in case anybody was on the fence because of that point
My stance on Epic remains the same; all for the competition, don't care how many launchers I have, but don't like the exclusivity grabbing... As long as that continues I'll be giving EGS a pass (despite the very good free deals - not a huge loss for me personally as I already own most of the games they've given away so far)

The free games are certainly a bonus, had a few really good ones over the months that I would never have tried out via any other means, but the main thing that got me EGS was Borderlands 3 and Satisfactory. So far they have just been too tempting to turn down. Phoenix Point is also beginning to stimulate my temptation gland

EGS is nothing but a Gamersgate or Greenmangaming.
Steam offer EXTRA stuff which without, many games would die MANY years sooner.
Steam Workshop was a game changer.
EGS is nothing but a race to the bottom. Consumers do not win as they pay the same price and get less features than Steam/Origin.
Steam is made by PC gamers for PC gamers and it shows.
EGS is made by ????

How much did Valve pay you to say that
Hahaha!How much did Valve pay you to say that
I have no problem with Epic store, I use Steam as well. Another window for me to get good gaming deals from. Grabbed the Batman games as they are amazing, not played the lego ones yet but bound to be good fun!

Still not worth it. Think I picked these up for £2-3 in a Steam sale a long time ago.

Free isn't worth it? Really?
