Commercial freebies and givaways

This weeks Epic freebie is now available.
The Bridge is a logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M.C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures.

@Dr-Flay The Bridge is great! I really enjoyed it
I'm yet to sign up to Epic, but I'm considering it just for that bl--dy goose game

@Dr-Flay I love the art style, very cool! But it also looks way too twitchy and fast for me - I get easily frustrated :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
It's already been tagged as "difficult" on Steam, so I know it's not for me...
-
Epic Games Store is terrible, why are you wasting your time there? They are trying to make a monopoly out of the PC digital distribution market.
-
@switchy But the games are free... If all you use their platform for is free games then, if anything, you're making it more difficult for them to spread their platform.
-
Oh and Steams previous monopoly was just fine ?
Considering Steam is still more used it would be at least a duopoly.
Steam also have exclusives, but take a bigger cut, so I don't see any effective difference in them, unless you are a dev, in which case you get more of the money from a sale with Epic.Pfft. Don't get the Epic freebies then. If you care to look through the thread you will see I find free games wherever they are free.
Epic happen to release more free full games than anyone else.
EA and Ubisoft don't do many freebies so maybe complain to them. -

@Dr-Flay , watch out for the first URL, not all pages that give Steam Keys and are not Steam, are legit.

https://gleam.io is unfortunately abused by some people so has been flagged. Anyone can use it so like many sites with subdomains it has a reputation problem.

@Catweazle Very wise unless you go digging.
You can see the WOT reviews are generally negative, but you'll notice they relate to sites or services using it or that pages were created for, so knowing the source of the generated page is important.

Thursday is upon us once again and another Epic game freebie from Epic with Assassins Creed Syndicate
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/assassins-creed-syndicate/home

3 indie freebies (I missed last week. Oops)
https://freebies.indiegala.com/mechanic-escape
https://freebies.indiegala.com/jasem-just-another-shooter-with-electronic-music
https://freebies.indiegala.com/the-fan -
Here are also several giveaways
-
Yep, that is one of the sites I monitor (though I already posted that game in the previous post with the other Epic freebie).
The sister-site freesteamkeys often has ones not listed on the other site.Indiegalla seem to be doing a weekly friday giveaway now, and the advantage of those is generally the offer lasts many weeks.
If you like short indie games then have a look through at the itch site. You will find demos of commercial games and beta versions of games destined to be paid games.
https://itch.io/games/free -
I ad this one, although it is not a true giveaway. Valve has given the entire Halflife series to play freely, although only until the launch of the new chapter in about 2 months.
