Commercial freebies and givaways
-
I will try and keep this thread updated as I find them, but as many offers have a week or less to claim, grab them before they go.
Epic have a weekly freebie so I will start with this weeks game.
Sundered: Eldritch Edition
Sundered is a chaotic hand-drawn metroidvania where you resist or embrace ancient eldritch powers, a challenging and unique take on a classic genre from the creators of Jotun, now with local co-op!

Sundered: Eldritch Edition
Good action platformer game. I played it when it was a freebie with discord (chat app) - that didn't last very long. Hopefully the "ownership" that epic gives will be a bit more permanent.

Yeah it looks very good. I love the art and dark feeling.
In my bag
OK just found another.

A limited free offer from Valve to celebrate the release of the new Half Life game “Half-Life: Alyx”
For 2 months you can play all the previous Half-Life games for free.
The complete pack cost me just over £5 a few weeks ago, so after the key expires you should find a cheap deal if you wish to buy.

@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.
