Description

In Stalingrad's two thrilling campaigns, you will take command over Wehrmacht and lead the German forces into the City, then switch to the Red Army and drive the occupants from the Soviet stronghold.

is it true or fake news?

is it true or fake news?

The "free game everyday" thing is true. I have my doubts that list is the list of games being given away.

 

[eyeliner]

is it true or fake news?

Some games I see being given, like ME Andromeda because it had a seriously bad reception, but the others, not that much. But hey... It's Epic, who knows?

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

is it true or fake news?

A lot of those games aren't even on EGS, so no, it's not real.

But they ARE giving away 15 games starting Dec 17th. Really hoping for Far Cry 5....

most games epic has given away weren't even available on the platform until the very day they were given away, so I disagree, but I don't know about the game lists found. The last leaks were true but this seems like too much free stuff

FYI some previous freebies on the EGS weren't on there until they were offered for free, one example is last year's STEEP

Heh...you mean this list? Yeah, no...that's just a fanboy's dream (heh...it's only missing cyberpunk 2077 ).

The 'problem' with this is that it incentivizes people to not spend their 10 bucks coupon. I mean...why would I spend 15 bucks (or 5, after subtraction of the coupon) when I might get the game for free the very next day?
The terms ironically also mean that e.g. meat boy forever (was 15.99€, now 14.39) is now more expensive WITH the discount than without (the coupon only works from 15 bucks onward).
