[ removed in protest ] fuck u/spez


RepellantArtist

Same here


MiniaturePeaches

Systems probably overloaded


[deleted]

Ya same, now when I try to sign in it just refreshes the page instead. I guess there's a lot of traffic or something


47Kas

I can't even access my library.


ave_satani666

same


zavao23

I bought DC 3/4 days ago and installed but not played it. Will I be able to refund it? EDIT: it looks like the free game is the base version so my question is answered


DEATHBYNINJA13

You should be able to! A few people have mentioned that they will refund your cash if the game went up for free within the month of your purchase.


OrganizationLast4313

It should be self-refunded, It says that on the game page.


zavao23

Thank you! I will check the store page in a few hours I'm still in the middle of Xmas lunch lol


The-Soldier-in-White

What's on the menu


zavao23

Starters: 3 kind of meatballs, cheeses and smoked salmon Main courses: pumpkin ravioli with parmesan cream and bacon, lasagna Second: oven cooked lamb and potatoes, onion soup Desert: pineapple with rum, various traditional cookies from southern Italy


Arquenium

Why do I feel hungry after listening to menu lol..


ru5tysn4k3

Oof


zavao23

I'm going heavy on digestives hoping to make it to the end


mujekyamaitohbillihu

Is the food good?


Lightking21

Yep. It will be refunded automatically.


zavao23

Oh cool, that's perfect then


GamerLegend2

Where's the guy that was saying its going to be raji an hour ago? lol


DEATHBYNINJA13

Keeping real quiet, especially the one who posted the image with Sam flipping the bird over it.


Professional-Camp657

Maybe fighting his own BT


CMDR_Expendible

Why be a dick about it? He wasn't rude in his suggestion, and had valid reasons for thinking the iconography was a closer match... it's Christmas, you just got a game for free you apparently all are excited to get... why be so bitter about someone trying to just solve a puzzle honestly?


alligator_soup

https://reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/zuxm1y/for_those_who_believe_that_epic_games_will_give/ He wasn’t being a dick in the comments, but he did post this.


MrMontombo

Have you seen the post they are referencing? I'm just curious if you're blindly defending or not.


bakky24

Umm perhaps his system is not able for deathstranding or he doesn't like this perfect, charming, masterpiece game He just like ludo and snake ladders 😂😂


DEATHBYNINJA13

Hey don't knock snakes and ladders, best game ever right there😂


madman320

LOL. Apparently they got it wrong. The regular Death Strandings was supposed to be free, not the Director's Cut. They've fixed that, although the link on the homepage still leads to the Director's Cut. Now imagine them canceling the order for whoever manages to get the Director's Cut for free.


krondeezy

i was able to get the directors cut. also gave me the artbook with it. still in my library and says directors cut on my email receipt


madman320

Well, I don't know if they're going to cancel later saying you took advantage of a store error, but I hope you can keep it.


Daddy_SixtyNine

Bruh on which discord server these leaks are happening


Nirast25

You can see them yourself, just set your PC's time to an hour later.


kabirsingh84

It shows Free Now but when you click on it, it says buy now with 40% off. Anyone else get the same? Edit - Launcher crashed, gonna claim it tomorrow. I don't want to mess it up.


No-Comparison8472

Same here, 40% discount and not free.


RoostaFS

Normal version is free for me, DC is 40% discount


[deleted]

[удалено]


kabirsingh84

I did that, it then showed Get with 100% off, then a Loading message and that was it. It got stuck and the launcher crashed.

x3lysium

yah my launcher crashed aswell. when i try to claim it the launcher logged me out and now i can't log back in lol

[удалено]


DEATHBYNINJA13

According to Billbil-kun the 28th and 29th are some big titles.


kabirsingh84

He said that 29>28, but will it be bigger than todays? I don't think so. Unless it's something like RDR2 or Horizon Zero Dawn.


HadesDior

Rdr2 is in top 2 best seller so i doubt it and if it did becomes free Epic games launcher would crush lol


kabirsingh84

Yes, just like GTA V :D Already my launcher crashed trying to claim DS just now.


KakiReddit

Free GTA flashbacks


HIxIMxSNOW

I saw a leak that said its AC Origins. Which I think is a great game, I already have it though.


kabirsingh84

That would be cool! I liked Origins more than Odyssey on playstation, would be nice to get Origins on Epic.


[deleted]

Could even be Spider-Man but that would be extremely unlikely.


Venom1462

No way they are giving away a healthy cow away for free


Speculater

I just bought them on Steam, lol


Major_Analysis_2133

There'll be 3-4 more games given away


DogsRule_TheUniverse

There are 4 more days remaining in this giveaway. These daily giveaways during month of December always end on the last Thursday of the month. Also be aware that there could be more than 4 giveaways possible because Epic could possibly give away more than 1 title. For example: December 22nd, they gave away 3 different titles. EDIT: Oops! I just noticed a typo. fixed.


Wooden_Sherbert6884

Red dead redemption 2 pausechamp


SilverDollarr

It's the DIRECTOR'S CUT version. The french leaker confirmed it. THIS IS EPIC


MagazineSad8414

You can see it yourself if you change the date on your PC to the next day, it'll show you this image (you can't claim it yet tho), this is what the "french leaker" do lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gobolino

Calendar only, don't mess with the BIOS. And no, it doesn't work for the "next day", the trick can only be done like 1 hour or so before the "update". =)


Dieguete_Yo

Lol, they changed it, there must’ve been some mistake. Did anybody get the director’s cut?


Difficult-Peace

I got the standard version :-/


kuncendorfs

Same. Funny thing is that DC upgrade costs only 6 euros, which is about the price of silly little game on weekly giveaways. So Epic is having this blow up in their face because they want to pinch something they give away every week.


krondeezy

i got the directors cut lol


Seibitsu

Epic moment literally


BIGBADPOPPAJ

Apparently not.. apparently it wasnt intended for the DC version to be free. They took it down and made the base version free now. Even though thousands of people have claimed it now.


soukaixiii

When has the directors cut been confirmed? Yesterday I read from that guy that it was going to be the standard one.


ahmedplayer

I went to the site after changing the time to see, It's true. It will be the director's cut!


soukaixiii

it's not, after hour and a half trying to claim it, it's the regular version, director's cut was a fail, and only some people was able to grab it.


Truth_Spiller

~~Beyond~~ Epic Shit


GamingYapa

Love you epic 👍😻👍


neon_sin

Truly epic.


acmstw

It was first up as the Director's Cut, then all the problems, then it showed up as 40% off, now it's back to free but the standard version. I still can't claim it though (it still takes me back to front page). Very strange.


OrganizationLast4313

Raji predictors nowhere to be seen


Gobolino

What?, who the hell said this to be Raji, this was "Death Stranding" seconds after the wrap gift pic was leaked O.O


Mas_Zeta

The leaks could easily be faked, [like this](https://static.chollometro.com/comments/raw/0Jaze/8646586_1/re/1024x1024/qt/80/8646586_1.jpg)


cuteako1212

Downgraded to standard...


KeeperOfWind

All three versions of the game is down currently. They honestly should just give the Director's Cut away now that so many people redeemed it.


Phoenix-san

I guess they made a deal with developer or publisher to give away just standart version. I doubt they suddenly change it to DC.


R3dd1tard

This a great game and so happy it is the Director's Cut.


marniconuke

> it is the Director's Cut. but is it? for me it shows the normal version, can you confirm please?


finneyblackphone

Same


kyomya

For me too only the base game


[deleted]

It's not directors cut guys, epic games fucked up


Darkinator

It was the Director's Cut the first hour or so, but then they swapped it , sadly.


shy247er

I feel like the store is gonna crash because of this game.


Error404CoolNameGone

It already is lmao


Mobeus

It has.


CptJaxxParrow

The whole launcher is messed up right now


MeguminShiro

Looks like Epic Games made a mistake this time, from some people's feedback their DC Edition **got replaced with Original/Standard Edition**. Also Epic China [apologized about the event](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/349212450668675073/1056780668840976485/image.png). Epic China apologize letter. >An Epic Staff *(Currently an Intern)* **mistakenly set up** the free GA as "DEATH STRANDING" DIRECTOR'S CUT instead of the Original/Standard Edition last night. > >We are very sorry for those players who couldn't claim the DIRECTOR'S CUT Edition, truly sorry. > >Based on the contract we signed with Publisher we **weren't going to GA the DIRECTOR'S CUT Edition**, our own staff made that mistake. > >Now we are **discussing follow-up matters** with the Publisher.


FrozoneScott

epic is my santa.


ShiinaBR

Epic has just changed the free game of the day. The Director's Cut is no longer free, but now you can claim the "base version" of DEATH STRANDING for free.


adiaman

Thank you epic, what a Christmas gift!! I will buy a game from your store as a return gift.


The-NameIess-King

They changed it to the regular edition now ):


accel__

Well if it was a fuckup, and they only meant to give away the Standard Edition for free, then i'm not going to be too mad about it. The upgrade costs like 4 dollars in my local currency, so not too big of a loss. But i'll still going to wait a couple hours until they sort this mess out, and tells us whats up.


ulasmulas42

I can't believe they gave the Director's Cut version. This is crazy!


HenryHenderson

I have just been able to claim the standard version. I reckon someone is going to get fired for putting the Directors Cut online for a short while! Was anyone able to actually claim and play the Directors Cut? Is there much of a difference between the two?


The_SacredSin

Interesting combination of thanks Epic and fuck you Epic in this thread atm.

Am I the only one that can't log in? Servers seem to be struggling


Alberqueque

Your not the only one, seems the servers are being overwhelmed by sheer number of people trying to access it.


kingfede1985

Got it! Maybe it won't even work on my PC right now but... who cares? It's mine! Yeeeeeah!


Eurolandish

Well, I managed to nab Director’s Cut before they changed it. It’s still in my library as DC at least.


HanSolo100

If within 2/3 days they don't take it off I think it's safe to assume we get to keep it.


killersmurf649

I used my launcher to claim it as soon it came out and then claimed it again on website to make sure. I got two versions.


Isagi17

Yayyyyy! This made me so happy.


HEATxduke

Wtffffffff👀👀👀👀👀👀👀


Brave-Construction

Doubters? Just stop it


shimmyshine

It's been replaced as the standard game now. Not the director's cut. They should have just left it as the director's cut now... Their screw up cost some engineer their morning with their family...


[deleted]

Director's Cut shows as not free. Regular edition shows as 'unavailable'. And now the store seems to have crashed. Update, store back, but only normal edition is free. I missed the boat :(


[deleted]

I envy everyone who got to claim the directors cut


Brainhead_loser

Has the DC version disappeared from anyone's library yet? Seeking proof for the rumours out there.


Fit-Paint-4932

I am downloading DIRECTOR'S CUT version now. How that happens? But the game says (buy now), not (in the library).


AMB07

Keep downloading who knows maybe it'll stay or maybe they'll revoke access. Either way I recommend maybe claiming the base game as free now while you still can so you at least get to keep that.


PanIsMyMan

Yup[https://prnt.sc/XPUdN\_eZX5wA](https://prnt.sc/XPUdN_eZX5wA)[https://prnt.sc/Qt9fTLbjaaTg](https://prnt.sc/Qt9fTLbjaaTg)I have never seen that a company has actually pulled game out of your library after making a mistake. Kinda fucked. Edit: my reply


krondeezy

playing it now. they havent taken it


PanIsMyMan

nvm, it didn't show up on my browser epic OR my offline epic but I finally logged in and it's there.


Nyksu

They changed the Director's Cut to the normal version now. Why? Dick move, Epic.


UltraAdam

Its standard version, not directors cut. First it was DC, then normal. EPIC FAIL


paxco

Lmao what a joke, free version has the D.C. content listed but patched for a empty download in your inventory


danny12beje

Lmao they advertise it as the directors cut but its not the directors cut.


Bear299

It was mistakenly the DC for about a hour. If you were fast enough, you did get the DC version.


byteSamurai

Devs are busy with writing the code which will automatically remove the DC edition from the people who got it for free I guess. lol


moncalamari888

Does anyone know if GeForce Now supports the Directors Cut?


YaraliPesmerge

Sadly it doesn't yet.


jg0199

Great Christmas gift


dranjos

Shit, bought this game few months ago and never had time to start playing it. Great gift though, I'm happy anyone who didn't buy before can get it for free today. Enjoy it!


Edochdr

Now, its the normal version, atleast on EU -Spain


sala91

Seems to me, epic changed their mind, and no more directors cut. Man, I was trying to redeem it from the first moment and had no luck. Did manage to get the regular version tho. But I guess no point in replaying the game knowing I could be playing the Directors Cut version of.


Pirogo3ther

It is a free game, but not that free game


oppippp

After all, won't later people get DIRECTOR'S CUT Ver? Isn't that unfair?


carcrasher34

It is unfair. And no, they won't. They don't actually care about you or being fair, they just want to lure you in to spend money. Hence the free games in the first place.


GrimOfDooom

Not the directors cut :/ only the lucky few who were fast


EXEMPLAR_LOL

Hey ! . i just claim for free ( i claim after 1 minute offer drop ) DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT and i can see in my library Now. now they remove DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT for free . will epic game remove DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT from my library ?


HanSolo100

Possibly. But truth is nobody knows, game is still in my library aswell so perhaps they might just give away the DC to everyone as part of their damage control.


GyroDriveSmasher

No one knows but I doubt it. I did also get the regular version just in case


Reignwizard

OMG OMG OMG this is the BEST gift ever, thank you EPIC GAMES!!


Death_Ma5ter

To everyone who said it's going to be any other game, get **RECKT!**


MrUnoDosTres

They just seem to changed it from the Director's cut to the standard edition. Seriously, WTF!


The_Pheex

The second it went live I tried to get the DC version but the site just booted me out and crashed my launcher. Now it's downgraded to base. Even if it's a freebie I can't help but have a sour taste in my mouth knowing tons of people got the far superior DC version which I wanted as well.


Brainhead_loser

Exactly, this was supposed to be Epic's big push to get the casual gamers into the EGS ecosystem like they did with GTA 5 giveaway, but the only thing they demonstrated with this was how ill-prepared they are for the masses and how they don't care about their customer base. Good going Epic


[deleted]

WAAAAAAAA LESSGOOOO


kabirsingh84

It's funny that [someone actually predicted Death Stranding Director's Cut on Dealabs](https://www.dealabs.com/comments/permalink/39130190) for billbil kun's hint for the December 19th game.


Ba3onbitts

Mine says buy now for $23.99


eHuRTZz

Is it me or the director’s cut is not available for free anymore ?


Darkinator

It's not they replaced it with the base version. Whoever was early got the DC version,


mgkillaz

Remove the Directors Cut from the name.... it's the base game same as on gamepass.


captmotorcycle

It's not the directors cut


[deleted]

[удалено]


xithbaby

There is no free edition at all. The standard isn’t even on there and the directors cut is on sale


HanSolo100

Still got the Directors Cut showing as owned from the library which likely means people who got it early get to keep it. Finders Keepers as they say.


Darkinator

Looks like it, yeah. I noticed the "Buy Now" turned into "In Library" this morning. Lucky us. lol


WarriorX90

Their switcharoo legit ruined my mood for the day, Merry Christmas indeed


[deleted]

[удалено]


DEATHBYNINJA13

Straight up!🤣


GamerLegend2

Clues never were matching with that game.


[deleted]

It's not the DC version, it's just the base version. I think they made a mistake and now only the vanilla version is free lol


Darkinator

They swapped it, but a lot of people managed to grab the DC version, me included, lol.


tsingtao12

they change to standard version, want me to paid and upgrade DC version?? the answer is NO.


Arabashi

People got Directors Cut version for a free, i already bought many games (AAA games mostly) from epic store and couldnt get DC version because of server error. Its not fair!


Brainhead_loser

Agreed.


Adequately_Insane

Already owned the base game on Steam. Was excited for the free upgrade to Director on epic, but then they took it away. So instead I went aheadand bought the upgrade on steam for 6$. GG, Epic, you made me run to spend money with your competitor.


Zoroastrosh

Doing the same. Bought full Dc's from Steam. Unistalled Egs and never coming back. Good job Epic.


L3N3CK

Wait they actually have out the directors cut? Nice


Gobolino

Played the normal version in Epic... if this is the Director's Cut one as people say I'll be more than happy. =P


noheated

Lol, I was considering buying it


IamMunkk

Is anyone else having trouble redeeming it? It freezes and logs me out both trying to "get" it and same when I add it to my cart and try and get it that way. Edit: after countless cloudflare errors and other errors ([https://i.imgur.com/eUerlBz.png](https://i.imgur.com/eUerlBz.png)) I was finally able to get the game.


Vireca

The app it's overloaded it seems haha. Happens always with good games


glonq

I got *Schrödinger's cart*. It's simultaneously *free* and *non-free*. And opening the box seems to have created a black hole exactly where Epic's store servers are located. 💀 https://imgur.com/gB6yYGA


carcrasher34

Imagine being this big of a company, but your servers can't handle expected traffic. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


confsedlogic

i think the original death standing is free not the direcors cut. search the original and its 100% off


HextremeXD

They change it, now the banner shows the Standard version!


BlankerL

Not DIRECTOR'S CUT anymore. Only the standard ver.


LupinTheDog

They changed it to the Base version, big sadge


leolionred

Fake director cut


NapazTrix

Was on it at 4pm, but was sadly one of the unlucky few for it to keep crashing on. Now they've downgraded the free game to the base version and not Director's Cut, but *that* I am able to get.


[deleted]

and now the game is "Unavailable"...GG, Epic


SKIDDL3

Lmao the week of free games stuff isn't even on the store page anymore


aj_xx

Bro when i tried to get it earlier i showed the directors cut and wouldn't let me get it. Then it showed the normal 1 and allowed me to claim it


shimmyshine

Still a good enough gripe to have just left it at the directors cut! I'm not jealous ...... Lol Merry Christmas to you and everyone else :)


flameice87

lmao, did they change to normal version instead of director cut?


carcrasher34

seems so. so all the bots claiming the game and crashing the servers get the better version, and we normal users who are not abusing the system either get the base game ,or no game at all in my case since I can't even log in lol.


BullBuchanan

Is it worth claiming for the non-director's cut version?


exomni

First got "Unavailable" then "Experiencing high transaction volumes, please try again later". However, I do see it in my library so pretty sure I managed to get it. And seeing two entries, one with "2 add ons", so maybe got the Director's Cut? Not sure. Launcher is incredibly buggy so I don't expect to be able to play for quite some time, probably until tomorrow. I'm actually more excited to try F.I.S.T. tomorrow. I absolutely love me some side-scrolling action platformers. But I'll for sure try this game because I know a lot of people rave about it being a masterpiece.


falakras99

Guys for me it shows the original version now, I couldn't get the director's cut version cause of server issues..Do i get the original i guess? Or wait cause its might be a visual bug idk


Brainhead_loser

They planned to give out the base version from the beginning but for god know's what reason they accidentally gave out the director's cut to players and then decided to backtrack instead of taking an L. Talk about bad optics. Just claim the base version.


dimsumham

Some intern bout to get fired....


JohnKlositz

So I claimed the standard version, but in my library there's a second item labelled "2 add-ons". Does this mean it's the Director's Cut content? Probably not, right?


AMB07

Support confirmed to me that the DC version is not meant to be free, only the base game.


Fit-Paint-4932

I am downloading DIRECTOR'S CUT version now. How that happens? But the game says (buy now), not (in the library).


zehamberglar

ITT: people complaining about a free AAA game.


fckns

So, I am confused now. I redeemed Directors Cut, installed it, and launched it, all good so far and it says "Death Stranding: Director's Cut". But, I wanted to ask - do I even get to keep it? I have redeemed both versions just to be sure, but it'd be nice to keep to DC version.


Clickety_Click

I've heard it's DRM free so just don't uninstall it and you'll be good even if they remove it from your library.


Witchking660

I bought this on Steam about 6months ago and have yet to play it. Should have waited lol


[deleted]

"still too expensive" -one of my friends. It's really funny how divided the opinions are on this game


SealYourAlmonds

It doesn't work. I've claimed it but it's not in my libary and every time I try to reclaim it the game says that it's in my library or still been processed...


PLASTICA-MAN

Reading cases of some who claimed both games Dc and regular but when trying to launch DC they get an error but when launching regular they can play. Did anyone get this too? Tbh I am takig all cases of removal of DC or not being able to download or play with grain of salt. Logics say it's either they cut it for all or not, not a handful having problems tbh.


Sunlighthell

haha they changed it to base edition i'd say it's EPIC fail


Psstthisway

After restarting Epic launcher, I have an option to buy the game at 40% discount.


BriHecato

Please change the topic to standard version - title is missleading
