if you still can't activate the base game, then the issue isn't with the stand-alone expansion.

That's an edge case where you would have been able to activate the free ID even before the fix.
Actually, the fix might even give you trouble with that (though right now it's just borked for everybody).
Even though it's called a standalone expansion, Fall of the Samurai is actually just a DLC for Shogun 2 - appID 34330, a "dummy" base game ID. The actual Shogun 2 main game is another DLC, appID 201270, also internally called Shogun 2 (because why not).

Thanks, working! But... I still own the same DLCs as before. Including "Total War 2: SHOGUN 2" which was already here before doing this. Strange.
EDIT: Got the game from Humble SEGA Strategy Bundle in 2016. It seems that they've added original Shogun 2 for free in December 2019: https://steamdb.info/sub/97226/history/

Releasing the game for free at the time when you promised it would be is too hard?

I just got an email from SEGA Europe saying the game is free from Steam - although it's obviously still not true. I think something was messed up, and it will be really free in a couple of hours.

Do you not see other users comments on this thread?

According to a developer's statement, there have been some delays in the deployment of this promotion. Should be free soon.

It's working my dudes, just got it. Also, the DLC package is at new historical low and Thrones of Britannia matching the historical low.
