After giving away a week full of games, what has Epic saved for Christmas Day itself? Starting later today, you'll be able to claim a free copy of Death Stranding on the Epic Games Store. The reveal was found in Epic's database, and was then teased by Epic's Chinese region website with, "tomorrow is in your hands" which is a specific phrase from the game. Various sources are claiming this as official, though no confirmation has been made yet. Either way, it seems incredibly likely that starting at 8AM PST, Death Stranding, specifically the original edition and not the Director's Cut, will be the next free game.

they are begging for lawsuits then ON TOP of the lootbox shit (false advertising(

Its not really false advertising if you're not buying anything...now if you actually purchased the directors cut and received the standard edition instead.. than yes maybe false advertising

 

[urbanman2004]

The standard is now unavailable, too.

EGS store is fucking incompetent and unprofessional.

Glad I got my copy already on both my regular and backup accounts.

Sucks thet they changed it to the standard edition. Glad I snagged the free Directors cut when I did. Wonder if they'll explain what happened or if it was intentional that those who went in first got the upgraded version.

What a good deal! Shame I don't like Epic. They're evil and gross, they made Fortnite. Eewwww.

oh grow up. Steam is just as bad. Gabe is no saint. He has corporate greed just like every company.

Steam atleast isn't own by 40% by China. So I rather support it any day over Epic Games.

More like actual game worth a crap being given away instead of another "Look at how emotionally deep my pixelart game is you guys" game.

Yeah, I would download it but I doubt my i3-2120/GT 730 PC can play it.

Free games are not enough to convince me to have 100 launchers harvesting my data. One is bad enough.

 

[Augusto101]

Not even free i want this gargabe overrated game.

 

[SylverReZ]

They should change the title of this thread to "Death Stranding is NOT the next free Epic giveaway game".

I agree, Steam isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it's still a better choice than Epic.

Preferably I get what games I can from GoG. The DRM free aspect is another step in the right direction. Granted should something happen to Steam, it's not exactly difficult to bypass it's DRM... Still less bullshit the better.

Steam is user-friendly with its reviews, communities, better discounts, and Steam has an overall better reputation.

Epic on the other hand, who knows if the store/launcher will still exist 10-20 years later.

Posting a generic "I hate Epic and poo poo on their free games" comment.

Seriously if you don't like them, don't post in these sort of threads with your whining jeez.
