That is arguably the first "big game" of this season, I mean which haven't been given away in the past. Won't complain though, rest of the games were interesting as well and diversified.
Was very surprised they gave the classics Fallout the other day btw, a step in direction to the 'old school' gamers in their thirties/forties maybe, given they must be massively on Steam still... And the 2020's Fallout the next day for the youngers.

It seems they pulled the Death Stranding Director's Cut version and are now giving away the "normal" version. Sadly I was too late to get the Director's Cut version.

Sadly I was too late to get the Director's Cut version. Same but not a big deal tbh, this version seems fine enough, and probably in a few years time the DC version will be given away somewhere and you could play the game a 2nd time.
They might even change for it before as there is a lot of ppl crying on socials about a 2 yo AAA game they got... free
Also servers are still overloaded it seems... could be buggy.
I read the DC version was a bit "too much" in some aspects anyways (too easy for example).

Just read about this, that's kind of bad on Epic's part. The Director's Cut upgrade is on sale for a 40% discount.

I bought the game in 2020, and the upgrade on launch day. I think the base game should be enough for a first playthrough, the DC adds some extra content, tools. It does make some parts of the game easier, and some harder.

Looks like "505 Games" finally wanted to make some extras $$$ with their game, before the "2", which could come a bit later than expected (2024 ?)
Maybe also there were some misunderstanding between them and Epic about what version will be given, but more likely it was planed like that between both, ok you can give our game for free but only the "base" game finally, then make it unavailable and an upgrade pack for some money, lol...
Bad or good they made the buzz on their licence for sure. And Epic too.
Not shocked personally as it's still something free, and the best one of this winter so far.

I bought Death Stranding in 2020, and bought the Director's Cut when it was released, so my version didn't get downgraded. I can download the standard edition too, which is the one I prefer tbh.
I've been reading comments on another forum that everyone who claimed the Director's Cut for free were downgraded to the standard edition. So don't worry too much about missing it.
While it was not nice that the downgrade happened, I don't blame 505 Games for that. According to a statement released by Epic on their Chinese social media page, the arrangement was to give away the standard edition only. But they said there was an error by an employee who set it to the Director's Cut, it's probably some sort of miscommunication.

The French leaker, billbil-kun had used a Kabyle symbol to talk about the giveaway scheduled for 28th, and everyone had believed the person was referring to Assassin's Creed Origins because the protagonist was from the same region. Now that person is saying I just rotated the symbol from Mortal shell, and you guys misunderstood it.
The leaker also says that the giveaway for December 29th is really special and that they won't leak it. Talk about hyping it.
