Epic Games Up
@Remotehalo there is som weird problem connecting from my area to epic games servers for some reason even epic games store is malfunctioning and signs me tf out 2020-11-19 09:12:39 @DubzyFN Even the Epic Games Store is experiencing login issues. However, there are a few options that you can try to get that game right back where it belongs so you can figure out how to fix games not showing up on your Epic Games library. Visit the Marketplace for free and paid assets for your next project.
We’re quickly approaching the end of the free games promotion the Epic Games Store is running for the holidays, but there are a few more days of free games to go before then. Today’s free game is lesser-known indie title Solitairica, which is a card-based roguelike game that fans of Monster Train or Slay the Spire might want to check out.
Solitairica in fact predates both Slay the Spire and Monster Train by several years, though it hasn’t reached the level of popularity of either of those games (at least not on PC). It still seems to be worth picking up for those who are into the roguelike deckbuilding games, as it’s currently holding down a “Very Positive” user review rating on Steam.
Of course, many of us already knew that Solitairica would be offered for free on the Epic Games Store, as a leak that landed shortly after this promotion started has predicted every free game offered so far. It’s safe to say that leak will also be correct about the promo’s final two games, which should be Torchlight 2 tomorrow and Jurassic World Evolution on December 31st.
Torchlight 2 is already well-known within the action RPG community, and we often see it compared favorably to Diablo 3 (or at least we did when Diablo 3 had a more spotty reputation closer to launch). Most action RPG fans have likely already played Torchlight 2, but those who haven’t will definitely want to snag it when it goes free on the Epic Games Store tomorrow.
Jurassic World Evolution will be the game up for grabs on December 31st, which is the final day of this promotion. Arguably the biggest game Epic has offered for free over the past two weeks, Jurassic World Evolution is a solid game even if it falls short of other park management sims. Solitairica, meanwhile, is free until tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST, so be sure to grab it before then.
Story Timeline
Epic Games is keeping up its “Free Fortnite” campaign against Apple by this time sending out some free Fortnite gear. While players have long been asked to get involved in the campaign ever since Epic Games urged them to join the “Free Fortnite Cup” and to take part in spreading the message on social media, this latest effort from Epic Games targeted high-profile players, streamers, and other influencers. Those people were sent things like Fortnite apparel featuring the campaign’s branding while copying Apple’s aesthetic as well as Samsung Galaxy S7 tablets.
You can see some of the examples of the packages sent out to players, influencers and others in the images shared below on social media. Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller and Fortnite Mobile player SSN Santa shared images some shots of the gear they were sent including a jacket and the Samsung tablet.

— SSNSANTA (@SSNSANTA) December 21, 2020Aside from sending people a tablet from one of Apple’s main competitors when it comes to such devices, Epic Games’ packaging for the kit itself is also reminiscent of the way Apple packages its devices. White boxes with minimal lettering and the game’s llama logo being converted to mimic the placement and style of the Apple logo are the most obvious indicators. The inside of the packaging follows the same formula.
Within the boxes came a card where Epic Games asked players to once again be involved in its campaign that the mobile version of Fortnite is still wrapped up in. It asked players – and specifically these influencers – to “spread the word” to their followings.

“In celebration, we’ve teamed up with Samsung to send you a special box of #FreeFortnite gear. While Fortnite may not currently be available on the App Store of Google Play, you can still get the latest Fortnite updates directly from the Epic Games app on the Galaxy Store. Spread the word.”

The campaign against Apple has worked to some degree in the past if the goal was simply to get players on Epic’s side and to spread the word about “Free Fortnite,” but the game still remains unavailable in the App Store. As such, it’s not gotten any of the most recent updates that other platforms, specifically Apple devices in this case, have benefitted from.
