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.
Shows $23.99 for me.

Good it's free for more people to get gheor own opinions on it. I see people who love it or hate it. I personally hate it and I am pretty chill. Story was a good concept, game play horrible. It was like they designed the world and story's and had a time crunch and had to figure out game play. let's give him a latter to help deliver packages and he can shoot pee and throw poop at tar monsters.....

Any reason why Epic pulled the bait and switch?

They didn't bait and switch - the person that was responsible for posting the game screwed up.

i have two items showing up in my launcher to install
- Death Stranding
- Death Stranding Content (says 2 add-ons in the thumbnail)

What's the difference? Should I install both, and what order should I install them if so?

So I clicked purchase. Never got a confirmation email. And the website doesn't list me as owning it. But when I go back to try to buy it again it says that I either already own it or it's still processing.

Epic Games went downhill since Jazz Jackrabbit!!!

Death Stranding page doesn't show "In Library" but I have the transaction in Purchase History. Check this link if logged in:

I missed the Director's Cut. What's the deal with it, does it make a huge difference or not?
The director sure thinks so....

The 'Content' contains an art book (pdf) and a 39 song soundtrack (mp3).
Mine now shows 3 add-ons...I'm not sure what the third add-on is.

Same for me. Wondering if it's a bug

Desktop browser kept giving me errors for the captcha. I ended up finally getting it to work using my mobile browser on my phone. No captcha that way.
