Eh, I have repurchased some games on Steam after getting them free from Epic. I rarely play them, but sometimes it's fun to dig through and find something I claimed. It takes like 30 sec on the web, so I do it when I'm in a meeting or something.
Really? I don't. Maybe that's why I've bothered claiming them nearly every week. I just open the web page, click the free game, then check out.
New games drop every Thursday at 9AM PST, so it's easy to remember. I WFH Thursday and Friday, so it's easy to remember to claim it in the morning. But honestly, any day of the week works since it's one drop per week.
It's more frequent during their Christmas sale, and I always forget when it starts, and I don't care enough to figure it out. So around Christmas, I check the next drop date and when it says the next day, I go on every day.
Yeah, the session token expiry time seems to be something really short. In comparison, Steam has asked me to re-login like 3 times over the last 7 or 8 years I've used it (I used to be an active hater and only had it for HL2 and claiming the free games like Portal).
