I’m someone who sticks to skill-based hobbies for months / years.

What keeps me interested in a given hobby for a long period of time is the dopamine hit of the reward at the end, and once I achieve one thing I want to move on to the next.

In a sense, my interests within a hobby change frequently depending on my achievements, but I also know that the kind of achievements available get “better” with time: You can’t beat the final boss if you don’t beat the first boss !

It’s not the first time that a game is a freebie for a second time. You can see the history of free games here: https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-store-free-games-list/

The Hunter: Call of the Wild was also free previously, around December 2021.

It’s also not the first time that a free game is “given away”, but usually it means that it’s some in-game purchase / DLC that is free. I think that’s the case with Idle Champions as well but I haven’t played it to confirm !
