Could someone explain what this is accomplishing please. Is it something like GOG now selling DRMA free Skyrim?

Not really. Epic games provides usually a free game once a week (except around christmas, then it's a daily giveaway). As far as I know they are paying the developers for this and use it to advertise their online store.
Most of the time you can get nice little indie games for free that way, but occassionally they also offer games from bigger companies (in the past there were for example gta5, some ea titles and so on).
Usually you can claim the basegame for free but have to pay if you want use additional dlc content.

can you please translate what the underlined text means for those of us who don't speak Turkish? I'm looking to host an event and need absolute confirmation this is going to happen, my EGS launcher did not specify that it was going to be free- only that it was "coming soon"

underlined text "ücretsiz" means free xD
Here is the English version with full free lineup...

Ah. I don't think I've ever run across Epic in any capacity prior. Thanks so much for explaining! I can see that base game areas may get a bit crowded then....
@ZOS_Kevin it would be amazing to get some sort of official confirmation about whether or not ESO+ will be free this week while we wait for an official post. Online gaming news articles are already speculating about it.
Its free to ‘buy’ for 1 week, its not limited time play. They release a free game every weekDoes it mean whoever claims it between those days can keep it forever and can play base game whenever they want? Not sure if it is limited time free play or not. Never been in Epic Store.

You don't have to use the Steam launcher, but doing so avoids the whole account name and password thing, and you can link an existing ESO account (free trial account) to Steam. I wonder if the same applies to the Epic version.

Yes if you played on a free trial account, you can link that account to the Epic store and the game.
I hope this is not a move into "F2P with microtransactions"-territory...
@Treeshka Yes, if you claim the base game through the Epic store during that week, you keep the base game forever on the Epic store. No strings attached.

Can I use the same email for the Epic Store ESO as I do with my current ESO account? Thinking about how it works with account recovery and stuff.

Darn, I think I'll skip it, then. I don't want to be tied to the epic launcher. I'll wait until the next sale and buy it directly from ZOS.
epic?
easy pass.
thanks anyway.
