Like what the title says. There’s always a catch unless it’s FOSS. So, what is the catch with them giving games for free that you can keep forever? What will the developers of the games get as a thank you?

It’s 2025. If you are getting a ‘free’ software product, there’s a chance of about 99,9% that the answer to that question is either ‘analytics/tracking/telemetry/customer retention’ or a combination of many or all of them.
When it comes to non-FOSS, yes, I agree.
You’re absolutely right. Sorry for that (admittedly catastrophic) omission.
In that case, you have to deal with the shitty epic launcher that is prone to “lose” user data.
