Best giveaway so far from Epic! I knew they would save the best ones later.
This is the Director's Edition, which is much better than the regular version available on the Xbox Game Pass. I'm glad I waited until now to play this game as I didn't want to play the original version.

People on the internet are saying "F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch" is the next free game.
That makes sense. That's a good platformer.

Quote from Baguda :
This is an epic deal from Epic in that it's an epic screwup like GTA V. Epic is used to giving away meh games most of the time so their servers don't get overloaded. Even when the DC was available, I could never get an order to go through. Then once the standard game was substituted I couldn't get an order to go through the client. Soon the client changed to unavailable and I gave up refreshing.

I had to login and use the web site to finally get this in each family member's account. Normally I would've just waited until tonight to get this, but Epic is so wishy-washy I figure they might take away the base game at any moment, so I felt I had to hurry.

When a company that gives away meh games most of the time suddenly gives away something good, you have to jump on it figuring its' a mistake. Sort of like when Adorama has a really good deal, you know it's a price mistake they won't honor.

Does anyone know what the "Remember device?" option does after you enter your 2FA code to log in? I'm assuming it puts a cookie in your browser which you can easily delete rather than stores a browser fingerprint ID (which can change over time) in your Epic account.

As others have said, use the web site instead of the client and keep refreshing.

You said it, epic screwup. Never had trouble getting any other title, but suddenly today we do at the beginning of the giveaway. It's because they put the director's cut out there and then either pulled it back due to it being a mistake or because they were told it would cost them X amount of subsidy to give away the director's cut. They had the pull store server down due to preventing any further claiming of the directors cut. They have tens of millions of users, the servers don't just crash because of a little demand.

People should probably grab the $5.99 Director's Cut DLC now if they want it because they'll probably raise the price on that. Since the text posted earlier said the DC difference is only on higher end graphics systems (I assume greater than 1920x1080 which I don't have), then I see no reason to spend the $5.99 if the game content is identical on a 1920x1080 PC.

I also forgot to mention for those not seeing "In Library" after you get it that you can go into your Account and see if it shows up in the Transactions.

This is still a no-brainer, getting the Director's Cut at $6? Even through sites like cdkeys, eneba, etc, this should be the lowest price ever?

The Epic giveaways are a fixed dollar amount agreed with the developer - decided way in advance. Check out the Epic vs. Apple lawsuit if you want to see how much they typically pay. This wasn't a last minute "oh, we're giving away too many copies!"

Wait, was the director's cut free too or just the base game? I don't understand the note that is listed at the top of this forum post.

DC was briefly free from about 11-11:30, if you could get through.

Yeah, I try to avoid buying any games from any holiday sales because Epic Games is giving out free games till January 6th although I have bought some DLC which Epic Games never gives out for free.
