False advertising on game rewards.

Hello.

I recently purchased an AMD product which apparently came with up to 2 games! Not sure why it claims to have 2 games, as you cannot manipulate credits to gain more  than 1 game.

Now here is a thing, while I was trying to get the key activating, AMD kept mentioning STEAM and Uplay keys.

The game I am being offered are Borderlands 3 and Outerworlds, which are both Epic exclusives. I don't use EPIC store, I do not like their anti-consumer tactics, and taking beloved games away from the fans. With over 1300 games on Steam, you might as well offer me nothing on Epic, it does me no good, I am not making account for 1 game.

I assumed that I might get a delayed key for one of the DRMs, or a choice at least, but no, you only find out which DRM it is when you activate the key, granted I knew Borderlands 3 was exclusive, I thought maybe there were delayed offers or physical release. 

This whole thing is just disappointing. If I saw '2 free games for Epic exclusives' I would never get anything from AMD. But that is not what sticker said, it said nothing about exclusive DRMs.

Sorry if I sound a little angry,

but either way, maybe if you offer a free game with purchase, don't have 2 choices being exclusive on specific DRM, or at least let people know that you offer them on Epic Store, some of us don't use it you know.

It is not false advertising if it is explicitly stated in the promotion's terms of service.
