No, not the entire Epic Free Games program. I am just talking about
one very  specific game that Epic was (likely) going to give away.
Because, based on previous years' offerings,* Epic was almost
certainly going to offer "Football Manager 2025" sometime in September
of this year as one of its free games. But, alas, the entire game has
been cancelled due to "product quality" concerns, so Epic is going to
have look elsewhere for a free game in seven months time.

Although... canceling a game just because it sucks? Sega, no wonder
you're no longer up there with the other triple-A studios, if that's
your attitude! 

;-)








* Football Manager 2020: offered free on Epic Sept 2020
Football Manager 2021: offered free on Epic Dec 2021 (the exception)
Football Manager 2022: offered free on Epic Sept 2022
Football Manager 2023: offered free on Epic Sept 2023
Football Manager 2024: offered free on Epic Sept 2024
