8AM PT, 11AM ET.
Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.
Got excited until I realized it wasn’t the Outer Wilds…
Outer Worlds is a fun game. Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.
The Outer Worlds w/ All DLC free until 26 Dec 2023 4PM UTC

I avoided the dlc for ages because I couldn’t see how it could top the main game. And then it did anyway.

It feels like a sequel honestly. Kind of incredible how many of the core mechanics from the base game they threw out in service of telling a new story differently.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Yeah I had to check 3 times whether I got the game right or not between the two.

Me too, but because I mehhed it so much that I was unable to finish it.

Another note: The “base game” on giveaway is the full game, don’t buy the Add-on. That’s for people to upgrade from the original+DLCs to the remaster, only useful when not on free giveaway.

Apparently this is the Spacer's Choice Edition. A remaster by another studio which some people don't like.
There's stuff on nexusmods which fixes it, but I don't know if they're any good.

Dangit, misread outer wilds… Thanks for the freebie heads up tho!

Anyone have tips for getting through the checkout process on Firefox? There are a bunch of CORS violations that I don’t want to simply disable CORS to bypass.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer maybe could help? haven’t tried this myself.
Though as always, think twice before running random github code where you’ll be providing your EGS login info.

That’s kind of neat, anything like this for Steam?
Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 months ago
I’ve had trouble with Firefox on a few sites now. PSN is another, and some random bookshop too.
Nothing is tested with it. I’ll use it for general browsing, but if I’m spending money, I feel like Chrome is a safer option so it doesn’t snag on anything.
The web standards are now “do what Chrome does because we’re not testing in anything else”

What is cors
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
Basically, it’s a browser feature that prevents access to third party sites unless the third party explicitly opts in. This helps prevent certain types of XSS attacks, crypto-mining attacks, DOS attacks, etc.
Essentially, let’s say you load epicgames.com, and the page tries to access steampowered.com for some reason. The browser then asks steampowered.com if it’s allowed to access it from epicgames.com, and if not, it blocks the request. This means steampowered.com needs explicit support or that browser will bail.
CORS isn’t super complicated, but browser implementations can vary so if a page doesn’t make the request properly or the server isn’t configured correctly, the browser will bail on the request. That’s what’s happening to Firefox, and usually it’s the third party server that’s at fault.

I don’t know whether you have the same issue but I got stuck on the EULA page because there’s a birth date selector behind it and they made both modal. The date picker is active but the EULA is on top so you can’t do anything. Tried in both Firefox & Chrome.
The solution for me was to just go back to the store page while signed in, choose a conforming birthdate and then the EULA page worked normally.
Checkout page is just badly written
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Works fine for me, and I’ve done it from Android and Linux. I have a handful of extensions, the most relevant is uBlock Origin. If you have more, consider disabling those in case something is tampering with the request.
Then again, it could just be the server being borked and you’ll need to wait and try again. Maybe try from a different device? (e.g. your phone or PC)
I remember having that issue, and I think waiting was the only solution. Kinda sucks though since it’s a 24-hour deal.

Your account is unable to download any more free games at this time, please wait 24 hours before trying to redeem a free game again.
That’s lame if true. I hadn’t logged into epic in almost 2 weeks.

meh, free is free.

Lol, based.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
True. I have 237 games claimed on there, but only 14 have over an hour play time. $0 spent on that store.

just pirate at that point

Way too big of a price to pay.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Oh fuck off you big baby, we don’t need people like you in every discussion about free games on EGS, we get it, you’re mad that someone dared stand up to Gaben and his monopoly, go bitch somewhere else and let people enjoy the free games.
sparr@lemmy.world 5 months ago
And you can tell that by how much they complain(ed) about Itch, GoG, Desura, and other competitors, right?
pivot_root@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You mean Tim Sweeny, the guy preaching about monopolistic practices while performing anticompetitive actions in a thinly-veiled attempt to create his own monopoly?
It’s more morally acceptable to pirate games than take free games off Epic Games Store. At least in the former case, I’m not supporting their campaign by being a statistic they can boast about.
Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
People bitch way too much about EGS. Yeah, we get it, it’s not steam and the dude that runs it pissed in your Cheerios once. Claim the free fucking game or don’t.
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Um… No, I’d bitch about it being on Steam too. I just like actually owning my games.
Also, wow, fucking chill, dude.
