Hardly so, I for one don't really care about those games some are kinda interesting but I have no plans to play them... Earning them with a GPU purchase would probably only result in them taking up space in my steam library as 90% of all other free games I earned do. To this date I've claimed almost all games Epic has given away but only played about 3 or 4...
It matters to my pals. We play Sniper a lot in VS mode and we're all due S5. When you consider it's £30-£40? yeah that's a decent saving. Nvidia are giving away games that are old.

Yes you and your pals are the kind of people they are hoping to reach. But statistically there will be way more people looking to buy a GPU and not caring about the 3 games that come with it thsn people that do. Unless they have a very hot game in there, like if they were bundling a cyberpunk key back when it was the hot game, but that's probably never gonna happen. Plus there will be plenty who are interested but already have a shiny new GPU.
Sue it's still a value-add and I definitely rather have them bundled than not bundled but I would never buy a GPU because there's a specific game coming with it, I'd just buy the best GPU for me, whatever comes along in the box is just a nice surprise. I don't think anyone is like, okay the amd card is 5% slower but it's the same price, but it comes with a game that it's price would represent 6% and thus now it's a better value than NVIDIA's so I'll buy AMD. Unless said person does want the game and still doesn't have it. Which is weird.
Instead people are: okay I'm content creator I need CUDA so not AMD.
Or: I'll be playing only raster games in 4k and AMD has better raster performance plus infinity cache gives them an edge in 4k so not NVIDIA. (theoretical cases)
