I think we're winding down on quality free games. Lots of repeats, things that have been bundled before or free to play stuff with cosmetics. I really only look forward to Christmas because there's a chance two or three good games will drop. I'm not huge into indie games so maybe I'm missing something but I don't think this will be a thing next year.

Oh no, how dare they give away low-quality games?

oh, how dare someone post an opinion on something that's free.

Imagine complaining about something that is free and you can ignore if you don't like it

Grow up. Seriously.
If you can't handle dissenting opinions, you could really use a dose of maturity.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hahaha the clearest sign of immaturity is complaining about something free that no one forces you to get, what are you talking about? Like spoiled children who, if they don't get what they want, throw a tantrum. Boo hoo.
Please don't project your flaws onto me. Bye

complaining about something free
Once again - voicing an opinion is not wrong just because its about something that's free. Seriously - what the heck is so wrong in stating an observation? Who is throwing a tantrum?
Its funny since CalamityUP didn't even complain - just said he is not interested in the indies and acknowledged others might value it more. And I totally can get behind that - From the games they gave away in the beginning I had a lot more interest. Frankly I don't care for most being given away now. My taste in games wont change just because the game is free. I am still happy they give away free games, but I don't see that as a reason why someone couldn't discuss whether they like games being given away. Same shit as with Humble Choice - just because the overall value is low, suddenly no one can voice their opinions because that is evidently forbidden due to the low price.

Edgy. If you don't like dissenting opinions you can ignore the user also. I never trashed Epic and I'm thankful they've provided free games. Just sayin' I think it's goin the way of the Dinosaur.

So if no one liked Hitler's opinion, it was simply better to ignore it? Nonsense

I think it's been like that for a while.. most of the stuff I've gotten I already own from bundles. I don't think it's gotten that bad though. I actually played Invincible Presents: Atom Eve which hasn't been bundled and was a recent freebie, and I consider Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! to be a decent freebie. We probably won't see any AAA games until the big Christmas giveaway, but they are still giving away halfway decent unbundled games occasionally

IMO they've done great counting starting January, so to me, I don't think the quality has gotten worse, but I do see some repeats, which is normal, idea is that you go to them and buy some games too. Also I mean there's a reason why x-mas is x-mas, so granted they give better games around those times. I think they were originally going to stop giving games away like 2 years ago but then they decided to continue, and there's been some great games giving within this time. I wouldn't be surprised either if they actually slow it down tho, as nothing is free and if the program doesn't convert users to their store, then they're bound to stop it like they intended to. We just got 2 years extra of free games. But yeah I wouldn't expect anything too new unless it's an indie or for them to start spewing out AAA titles even more so recent ones, as the ones they've given away so far are pretty amazing already. I don't think this is arguable but no one beats them at their free games program, although plenty more can be said against many other practices they follow.
IMO we don't deserve next week for free so it's awesome to see them being given away(even though I bought them). Both Lisa and Industria look really good. I already own both, but that's not their fault I have a huge library, part of their goal is to help users build a big enough library to switch there.

Note that Town of Salem 2 is free on Steam... there is in-game upgrade that allow you to play premium version for free (I think)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was wondering about that. It's weird if they're giving away that upgrade since it's not available on the steam store and requires being bought in game

The giveaway is for the "Epic Dragon Shimmerscale pack".

ive been told by a friend that you can unlock the Premium version through epic and then migrate it to steam. so technically you dont even need to play on epic to have full access.
idk how it works bcs i paid for full version on steam when it came out, but here's the guide my friend made:

Lisa shows up in my library but I haven't received any receipt to my e-mail unlike the other games so far. I wonder I am the only one with this issue?

Same here. I don't think it's a problem. It should definitely be listed here though:

Looks like it will always be free and not a 100% discount like the others. So that would be why.

Weird... you should have received it on Epic Transactions page and on email as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wasn't able to buy both in one transaction. LISA: Definitive Edition didn't have an option to put it in the store cart, probably since it's a bundle of two games. I did get an email for INDUSTRIA but not for LISA. They're both in my transaction list though. You however seem to have been able to "buy" them both at once.

Well… wait, you nearly got us to say. Cheeky! All we’ll say is that a free game will be revealed each week of the sale. You can find out what they are at 11 AM ET each Thursday of the sale’s duration. The reveal is accompanied by a highlights blog (live now!) that goes into detail on each game, as well as rounding up all the other giveaways of that week. Including...

My thoughts exactly. I skipped it.

Hmm, the Vault. It's kind of the same as always, isn't it? One game per week, for a week. The only difference seems to be that they do not reveal it before its time has come. Or am I missing something?
Comment has been collapsed.
That sounds about right. They used to provide hints and clues on Twitter as to what the mystery games were, which made it more fun. They don’t seem to do that anymore. It kind of makes sense. This gives them more leeway if they need to change something at the last minute.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, why would they need leeway though? They manage just fine every week for years now...
Comment has been collapsed.
They probably don’t, but there have been a few last-minute changes over the years—removing of games, swapping, slip-ups in general. Death Stranding Director’s Cut comes to mind. I liked that they gave clues. It was a fun challenge. I hope they bring it back.

Am I crazy or is there no way to navigate to the main Firestone game from the DLC page? I may have overlooked, but if it's that difficult to find it's a baffling UI decision...

Click the 'overview' button (at the very top, just underneath 'Firestone Free Offer'), it'll switch to it.

Not sure the best place to post this, but has anyone else had their copy of Dead by Daylight removed from their epic account? I had previously played it on Epic for hundreds of hours, and after checking both my copy AND my friends went poof. Acts like I need to buy it now.
Both my friend and I had gotten it when it was free

Yeah I think everyone that obtained it for free had theirs revoked. My friend that paid for it still has their copy. No idea what caused this..
Comment has been collapsed.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if it has. Most people probably wouldn't notice a small indie game getting removed from their epic library. Tons of people that got DBD for free from epic will notice it's gone though cuz they play it. Many of those people paid for in game cosmetics or DLC too lol so it'd be messed up if they don't restore their license.

same for me too. this must be a mistake because even if we got it for free, we have an invoice for the purchase so we own a copy. if they can do this at will, this is a hostile activity by epic which could even be done for the games you pay money for

Crosspost (and Megumin already provided better info anyway, sasuga Megumin):
I really think it's a mistake. The BHVR website still says I own DBD both on Steam and Epic, although it disappeared from my Epic library indeed.
I still own Flippin Misfits on Steam from their older giveaway (AWA/SteelSeries).
Saying that they intentionally revoked the licenses while we still don't have context nor explanation is not a good thing to do, imo.

How bizarre! It's quite worrying you don't get any notice when a game is revoked from your library though!
