🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌


quote:

On Selected day one title will be revealed and will have 100% off Owner Discount. If you have all the previous games from the lineup you'll be able to grab it for free! Just click on the corresponding image of the game as it goes up for grabs and you'll be able to redeem it there.
You’ll need to be careful though. If you forget to redeem any of the corresponding free titles, you won’t be eligible for the rest. The next titles in the lineup will become available free for users who have the previous ones added to their accounts!
(If you miss a game, don’t worry. Just buy the missing games which will go on sale day after the owner discount to complete the chain and this will grant you a possibility to gather the rest of them for free!)

Now everybody read the above and don't get into a 5 page derail again ffs.

Don't worry, as it's not valid in Europe, there will still be people asking why it doesn't show up for free for them.

The whole letting people buy the game they missed to get back on the redemption train is such a brilliant scam even if it's overly complex and will confuse tons of people.

It's publicly documented that Epic is currently in a money-losing position, even with the money hose that is Fortnite, due to how much they threw at their store to reach for the impossible dream of a 50% grip on the PC gaming market. Hence their laying like 900 people off and selling off Bandcamp a couple of months ago.

Imagine if they actually spent that money on improving the platform instead of trying to force people to use it by making games exclusive.

One of my younger kids liked the coloring game and I think I got a puzzle (like jigsaw) game in one of those giveaways that they enjoyed. But yeah can't really speak highly of the rest. I'm not complaining for the price though.

Yeah it wasn't to be too disparaging towards them and more indicate that if you don't get one or more of them it's not like them robbing you of Death Stranding or some other AAA game.

Hey thanks, tried the code and it eventually worked. Errored due to technical difficulties over and over, I have some guests over and then tried again after they left. I have a 4070, the code registered on Epic. Thanks!

great! im glad some one could use it. it seems very deliberately designed not to be redeemed. im guessing they only pay when its redeemed or something

It can't be a processing power issue. I can't believe for a moment that a 4070 (I have a 4070ti, for reference) is sufficient to run that game but not a 4060. This sounds like a pathetic, half-arsed way to encourage people to buy extremely high-end cards.

I played it on a 3070 and performance was solid, a 4000 series certainly isn't necessary. A lot of these pack-in codes are just annoying to redeem either by design or because they don't care enough about the giveaway program to make their interface convenient. AMD has their own program as well with codes that seem to be tied to the exact processor you buy. I got the new Avatar game with my CPU, haven't been able to build the computer yet but I already saw lots of complaints about how inconvenient it was to redeem.

I think you have to own another one of their games first or something. This is a stupid deal and I don't understand why Nintendo lets them do this.

The catch seems to be that if you sign up for their newsletter you get a free code for one of their games, which then lets you go into the giveaway owning a previous title. The issue at the moment is that folks signing up for their newsletter aren't getting codes in 5-10 minutes like they were a few days ago. I saw a few folks on slickdeals saying they haven't gotten codes after waiting a day. So it's not really much of a giveaway when there's prerequisites that the company isn't keeping up with distribution for.

Here's the slickdeals thread on the same topic. If I get a newsletter code before the first day giveaway is over I'll do it. If not, oh well.

Usually theres been a leaked potential list by this point.

cookie clicker is what all other idle games try to be. it's fun and i'm glad that weird french dude eventually got some money for his success and unleashing idle games upon us all. you can play it over here for free if you want, still: https://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/

that said, i'm not sure the teaser image is cookie clicker? the game's cursors are the hands with the pointer finger out and the image has just a regular mouse cursor, so it could just be a different clicker game


we'll find out in literally an hour anyway
