Same experience here. I've already owned the base game, but none of the DLC. It let me accept Spacer's Choice, which is literally just another store entry for the base game, but you can buy the upgrade for 10$ instead of 17$.

Update: I've done some research. Apparently this version of the game is like a third-party remaster done by a different company, hence why it's a different entry in the store

Upgrade is for people who own the old version only. Spacers Choice Edition is the entire game, DLC and all.

My receipt, screen I selected for the game, and everything I see and can tell says it's the spacers choice edition, which is the edition that includes the DLC.

I think the giveaway just doesn't include the $9.99 dlc to upgrade the base game if you already have it to the spacers choice edition. In other words, if you have the base game only, get this giveaway and you'll have the dlc for free via spacers choice edition.

EDIT - Close to the add button Is written [Base game] and even after adding it to my library i can still see the 9$ dlc option in the menu. Either way is not too clear so I'll let the (base game) in the title.

Spacers Choice is like a Game of the Year Edition. It has the whole game with both DLC.

I double checked and it seems to most definitely be the spacers choice edition. Nothing I have says it's the base edition.

It does include the DLC.

"Spacer's Choice" is the remaster that includes all the previous DLC.

This version was done by a third party and was buggy on launch and for a while. It is supposedly fixed as of June.

Lmao it's a rerun of last year.

Oh well, at least I now have the base game.

Bloody hell.

The DLC only adds a little bit. The murder mystery DLC is good but the rest I wouldn't worry about personally.

Spacer's choice edition is the full game remastered edition that is currently on giveaway.

If you owned the base game+DLCs, you get this edition for USD 9.99 when it's not on giveaway.

As far as I remember from the DF review, the spacer's edition "remaster" isn't any good. You're better off playing the original game.

Though maybe only the spacer's choice edition is free because no one bought it.
