Free Stuff: The Thread
The Mod Wonder: Since Rooster started this thread, I'm going to piggyback on his post to lay out some guidelines.
This is a post for Free Stuff from various gaming-related places. Steam, GOG, Drivethru RPG, and the like. Try to let us know when it starts and when it ends, and don't use it for advertising things that aren't 100% free. For example, as I write this, if you buy Battletech from GOG, you get Shadowrun Returns for free... that doesn't qualify, because it's "Spend $40 and we'll give you something". Only 100% free things.
Also, if you are posting a free thing, don't worry about Double Posting. If you're commenting on a free thing, that's separate.
If it turns out we need more rules than that, I'll make a note in the thread and edit this post, too.
So I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but I thought it might be nice to have one thread to... not really discuss, but talk about, whatever, the various giveaways that occasionally happen on Steam and Humble and whatnot. I don’t like missing out on free stuff, and I’m guessing nobody else does either. So if you see something being given away for free, why not post about it here and let everyone know?
F1 2015 is free on Steam until Saturday, if you’re into that kind of thing. It has to do with... cars? I think?

Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee is free on Steam for the next two days!
(And I’m immediately realizing that this is actually a terrible idea for a thread, but whatever.)

Re: Free Stuff: The Thread
It mainly depends on how frequently free things on normally large stores come out that aren't always free. If there's a dry spell of this, it'll probably get buried.

Re: Free Stuff: The Thread
Since I consider this thread an awesome idea, I ... have a copy of FTL to give away. FTL is as awesome as this thread, if not more. Just saying.

The Mod Wonder: I'll see if we can't sticky it.

I noticed that, but the news page does say “get it now and keep it forever.” Maybe the devs don’t know how the Steam store works? :smallconfused:

Re: Free Stuff: The Thread
I poked my head in - the game appears to be free, but you have to actually install it, manually grab the DLC immediately, and only then have it. It's also multiplayer only, so it looks like they're trying to seed servers a bit or similar.

Is that free to keep, or free to play for the first 100 hours?

As far as I can tell, free to keep if you claim (ie go to its install page on Steam) it within the first 100 hours.

Weird. It’s working fine for me. :smallconfused:

Re: Free Stuff: The Thread
Ah, seems like Quake Champions is blocked in the country where I'm in right now. Using a VPN it shows up just fine.

Well that bait sure worked on me. :smalltongue:
I bought some stuff and got a code for Sunless Sea. Since I already sunk about 200 hours into that game, I would like to pass this on.
Send me a PM if you want this excellent game but couldn't afford it. :smallsmile: Spoken for and given away.
