Well the DC upgrade is $6 so buy it if you really want it.
These are already in the PC game. Only were added to the consoles post release. But the rest added isn't a huge deal to me anyway.

Was Assassin's Creed free today?

I got a notification from SD two days ago and avoided clicking on it since it said starting on the 28th.

When I clicked on the notification today, the thread was for Mortal Shell and not AC.

Just curious if I missed it or if a different game was offered instead.

All the comments here are about Death Stranding, so this is not helping my confusion lol

Quote from AmusedPanther530 :
It's the principal and compounded by it being Christmas day. Imagine if I told you, I've got you new car for Christmas? It's a gift, completely free I hope you like it. Work gift, everyone you know at work is getting the same. I told you this, I showed you the parking lot full of new cars.

Everyone is given tiny boxes, you see some coworkers open them up and it's a set of car keys. When you open the box, it's instead a single hot wheels car.

Don't have any right to be upset though, cause it's free. If you even think of complaining about my gracious free gift, duck you entitled t&&t.

Upset? Open up your damn wallet, buy your own car.

Epic showed DC version for free, some people claimed it and were given it for free. A few others had it in their carts, but loading issues prevented final purchase.

Found the entitled Redditor!

Jesus. Possibly worst analogy I've seen on the internet in months.

After I "bought" Mortal Shell, I went to its page and noticed that one of the add-ons is free, but you have to put it in your cart and check out.

Looks like it's an alternative soundtrack to some bosses.

Nope. The leaks suggested Assassin's Creed Origins would be today's freebie, but it was Mortal Shell all along.

Yes, that is correct.

You are not entitled to the same bonus at work and you are not entitled to the same freebies at a retailer.

I'm sure if you gave $50 to the closest beggar at the stop light and 10 more beggars mobbed your car demanding "their" $50 too, your opinion would be something closer to, "It's my goddamn money not yours. Duck Off".

At least you'd be consistently selfish and entitled.

"Me want!!!!" doesn't work in the adult world.

Update: I'm seeing this https://store.epicgames.com/en-US...ered-steel (Severed Steel) as the free game they're currently offering.
Update: Still no Assasin's Creed. Some other game, Mortal Shell, Mortal Coil, or Mortal Something.

Quote from PretzelsRULE :
Which was probably one of many decisions that lead to this game dropping in price and falling into obscurity. I purchased it for $10 at BBY a few months ago. However, that is beside the point anyway; we both agree, free is free. Heaven forbid someone enjoys the game and then pays a little money to makers to help support there being a future release.

There are complaints where you can argue that free doesn't matter, such as OW2 putting new characters behind a paywall. Sure, you can earn it in 45 levels of battlepass, but you could also get destroyed by the people who paid for the character on day one if that character happens to be OP, which is what most new characters tend to be.

Completely agree. That said, there's a bright side, the developers definitely get paid for these "free" games, epic just foots the bill. They've (epic) spent hundreds of millions of dollars giving away these free games, so at least the developers are still getting money.

Another free game for me to never play or even install the Epic Store application. I might buy this on the Switch if it goes on sale.

The only Soulslike worth playing is elden ring and only because if you're stuck you can just move somewhere else. These games are fun if you like punishment. I can't imagine mortal shell is any different but free is free
