I have the Far Cry 6 demo in my Epic Games library after seeing it on the Epic Store, but when I click on it I only get an option to Link to my Ubi account, or Cancel. The first says I'm already linked, the 2nd does nothing but close the window.

I tried logging in to Ubi Connect, letting it update, and having it minimized while attempting to install the demo on Epic Game Store (which is what it's called on their site. It did no good.

I have a feeling though that Epic Game Store misleadingly misworded it, and probably should have taken it off their store some time ago.

[EDITED]
Just rechecked and it IS worded Free Trail on Epic Games, though I'm sure somewhere it said demo as well.

Yeah I tried not only looking for it on the UC store page, but also tried to use a link to the free trial on UC, which I (and others) found via searching. The link still works but after logging in and entering your birthdate it just shows FC6 at full price and a $15 subscription to their game service.

IMO that Free Trial URL should no longer even actively take you to anything on Ubi's site and the Free Trial offer for FC6 shouldn't still be showing on Epic Game Store. Very misleading, maybe even suspicious as a janky lure.

Honestly, after seeing this I don't feel Epic Game Store or Ubi's sites are any more trustworthy than sites that sell cheap game keys.

What do you mean it works? I got it to show up in my EGS library, but it would only ask to link accounts when I clicked on it, then it came back saying they were already linked. The Cancel option in that link popup window just makes the popup disappear. I see NO WAY to make it "work".

YES, read my post #3 again!

Where did you source the free trial from, Epic Games Store, Ubi Connect Store, or Ubi's Main store? And AGAIN, what do you mean by "work"? Did it actually serve as a way to get a free trial?
