Fanatical is a perfectly legitimate site, it is neither sketchy nor a grey market site, i have purchased from it innumerable times with no problem nor complaint.

As an aside, This website will only ever list official key resellers, so if you wish to avoid sus/grey market sites, i would recommend using that to check.

Definitely. Fanatical used to be known as BundleStars, but changed their name sometime after they became more than just bundles (I'll be honest, while a name change was probably necessary, I still don't like the name "Fanatical"). They are an authorised reseller, selling only keys and products sourced directly from publishers. I've purchased many bundles and some individual products from them.

Fanatical are not a grey market reseller nor do they source keys from other shady sources. They also provide a 5% student discount on most products if you are eligible for Student Beans.

Go go Gadget copy and paste with slight edits!

It's now time to redeem the second game, Creepy Tale 2. If you missed the first game's free period, it's now discounted by 50%. There will be no further reminders, because if you missed out on getting everything free, it no longer fits this thread. Do we have a thread for extremely good deals? It could be posted there...

As it has been the case for the last couple of years, Epic has switched from "a new 1-2 free games every week" to "A new free game every day". I believe other years, this lasted for a couple of weeks.

It also has includes some better-known games in the mix, but obviously can't tell you if that will be the case this year. Still, this is mostly a reminder to check every day for a while.

Today's free game is DNF Duel.
