Thimbleweed Park is currently available for free at the Epic Games Store until March 7, 2019.  
[Epic Games Store](http://www.epicgames.com)

I wonder if Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick would benefit from “buying” the game there. Do they get anything from the sale at Epic Games Store, or do they get nothing?

I see what you mean. Everything related to money is rather taboo, of course. Probably the offer will be paid as a lump sum.

Now after buying my 2nd license I took the chance to play the game again. I love it. Thanks a lot!

PS It might, depending on what’s behind the beeps.

I found out something _ **beep** _ great! The _ **beep** _ Epic Games Launcher is only needed to download and install the game. After that it can be uninstalled in a _ **beep** _ simple way. This free of charge Thimbleweed Park Version runs _ **beep** _ easy and flawless via the ThimbleweedPark.exe or a shortcut.

Sorry, but a shop specialised in selling digital goods not being able to mention which software uses DRM and which not is just not acceptable.

Now get the \*beep\* off my lawn!

Hi, one stupid question. Why is the Epic version of Thimbleweed Park still 955 while it already is 958 under Steam and GOG? Personally, it does not affect me because I have it under all three. This is purely out of curiosity. Regards

Perhaps because Epic doesn’t offer the DLC that version 958 fixes an issue with?

As part of the ongoing Epic v. Apple court trial, Epic published a document revealing that it paid $85,000 to give Thimbleweed Park for free on the Epic Games Store.
