On Christmas Day, Epic Games launched its highly anticipated holiday freebie. Due to overwhelming server load at midnight, the company even issued statements on social media urging users to wait. However, early-bird players who managed to log in discovered they had claimed the premium 'Director's Cut' version of Death Stranding instead of the base game.
By morning, however, the store had been 'fixed,' and new users were only offered the standard version. Analysts believe the Director's Cut was likely listed by accident after the standard version was removed from the store, leading to a discrepancy where early claimers 'profited' more than those who followed the company's advice to wait. This disparity triggered significant backlash among the player base, with many questioning the fairness of the giveaway.
Community reactions were mixed. Some players are calling for an upgrade path for those who got the standard edition, while others joked that they wouldn't have time to play it anyway, fulfilling the typical 'add to library and forget' ritual (often referred to as 'Xi Jia Yi' in Chinese gaming circles). Some lucky users reported having both versions in their libraries, noting that even with rumors of a possible 'revocation,' they could still access the files for now.
