Yeah, don't you have the Epic Games Launcher? Go your library. Unfortunately, it doesn't just tell you at the top how many games are in your library, but on the right, there are drop-down filters. Look for "Platform". Every game they've given away is a Windows game, so the total you see for "Windows" is the number of games you have.

There should be an option to take the Willy Nelson route. Auction off all your shit and get all your fans to buy it and donate it back to you, and make an album specifically dedicated to paying off your tax bill.

"It's tough to be mad at Willie Nelson. So when Willie got into tax trouble, his fans were there to bail him out. After the IRS hit the country crooner in 1990 with a bill for $16.7 million in unpaid back taxes, Nelson had to hand over many of his possessions to stay out of prison. But in a bit of quick thinking, he released an album poking fun at his plight, calling it The IRS Tapes: Who Will Buy My Memories? His fans took the title literally, snapping up his items at auction but then handing them back over to Willie. By 1993, Nelson was able to settle his tab."

And that's why he agreed to be on KOTH, he needed the money.
 
I don't like cluttering this thread with non-freebie posts, but here is a headline that will remind everyone in here to not take the gravy train for granted for as long as it lasts-- because it can't be counted on to last forever.
The Epic Games Store Still Isn’t Profitable Nearly Five Years After Launch
Epic’s expensive war with Valve over PC gamers’ cash still hasn’t paid off, the company has admitted.

The Epic Games Store launched nearly five years ago with eye-catching PC exclusives that cost the company behind Fortnite an arm and a leg to secure.

Since then, Epic has thrown bucketloads of cash at securing PC exclusives (Alan Wake 2 being the latest) and weekly free game giveaways in a bid to carve out a piece of the PC gaming pie. It’s even launched aggressive revenue terms for publishers and developers to try and attract more games to its platform.

Despite all this, the Epic Games Store is yet to turn a profit for Epic, and remains a loss leader as it approaches its fifth birthday in December. Confirmation comes from Epic itself during the ongoing Epic versus Google court case, as reported by The Verge.

Epic Games Store boss Steve Allison said on the witness stand that while the store isn’t profitable yet, Epic's "goal" is still growth. According to The Verge, emails revealed during the Epic versus Apple trial suggested the company was hoping to claim half of all PC gaming revenue.

It’s surely a disappointing situation for Epic, which recently suffered a devastating round of layoffs that saw hundreds of staff let go across Epic itself and its subsidiaries, including Fall Guys developer Mediatonic.

The Epic Games Store continues to offer publishers and developer an 88/12 revenue split, compared to Valve taking a 30% cut of Steam sales. Epic also launched the First Run programme, which trades 100% of revenue for six months of PC exclusivity. Back in March the company launched a suite of new self-publishing tools designed to help creators and publishers release their games onto the digital store in a more seamless fashion.

Steam, meanwhile, continues to dominate the PC gaming market. In January, Valve's service smashed its record for concurrent online users with just shy of 32 million players online.
