Rawhide, I have to ask, how do you learn of all these deals so quickly? Amazing grapevine connections? Subscribed to every mailing list in existence?

There's a feat for that. You need an 11+ in charisma and at least two cybermaneuvers as prerequisites, but it's still quite popular with optimizers.

(Sorry, I'll stop cluttering this thread now.)

It's not a game, but it's gaming related. Approved.

The Epic Store is doing a holiday event where there's a free game every day. Should have said something earlier, but didn't think of it. This week, I got Control, Vampyr and Prey for free.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead Is currently free on GOG.

[Rawhide]

A reminder, this thread is for games (and gaming related things) that are 100% free. Amazon Prime requires a paid membership, and is thus not free.

[KillianHawkeye]

My mistake, but if anyone has Amazon Prime for other reasons it's still free for them. I assumed the people who have it might want to know.

Crossout, the car combat game where you assemble your own unique car, has the problem of not giving new players a lot of components to work with. So I was very happy to find out there are currently two free vehicle packs for Steam players. The cosmetic-heavy Morgen pack, and one with multiple rare weapons, the Marmok pack.

Edit: They just added a third free pack, available to everyone who logs in for the next month.

GOG seems to have expanded their list of free games a bit. (At least: I got an email about it, and there were a few freebies I didn't have yet.)

[Rawhide]

Dear Esther is free for 48 hours.

Add it to your account to keep forever.

In addition, in the process of collecting the above, I opened the GOG Galaxy app, and I was greeted by a pop-up offering The Witcher: Enhanced Edition for free (possibly in exchange to sign up for a free newsletter). I am afraid I do now know any other details of that give-away.

Not exactly sure how to get about it. Your link takes me to the giveaway page, where I click on the green button. That takes me to the main page, where I can click on the giveaway link, next to the timer and that takes me to the discouted games page, where I do not see the game.

So... what am I doing wrong?

You have to go to https://www.gog.com/ and scroll down to the giveaway. The first link that takes you directly to the game page is informational only about what the game is (that's why I included the second link), and if you go there first you need to click the link to the main page then scroll down.

Don't click the picture, click the button that says something like "Claim", "Claim game", or "Yes, and claim the game". You are agreeing to receive marketing emails from GOG if you don't already, but you can cancel any time.

Total War: Warhammer and City of Brass are both free on Epic Games this week.

Not sure how I managed to miss that... I wasn't even drunk at the time, for eff's sake.

Anyways, thank you for helping me acquire another free game.

Knightfall: A Daring Journey is free on Steam, add to your account to keep forever. This is a brand new game, created as an April Fools, but it's a real game, and the price will go up after the sale.

[Rawhide]

Black Desert is currently free on Steam for the next few days, add to your account to keep forever. This is an MMO, and I'm guessing they want you to buy some of the expansions and other DLC.

P.S. There's also a free gift pack DLC if you claim the base game.

[Rynjin]

Isn't the game always free?
