Here is a better link with details regarding Destiny 2, it seems that you can claim the standard edition and keep it forever (just claimed on my account and appears as standard edition), however I do not have enough hdd space or a powerful video card to run it. Enjoy.

You should be able to run it even if you are a bit under minimum specs, so look into it a bit. However, let's just be honest here, base game only, it's like 70-80GBs to download (meaning it won't finish even in a month of 24/7 downloading for people like me who have crap internet) and even if you do get it and can play, base game is like a demo of sorts... sure you can do a fair bit of stuff, but it's unbalanced and they are doing this just to get more people who will potentially buy extra stuff trying to balance the dumb game:P

I am still running on integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000) and I have like 20 GB free left... I really need to upgrade my desktop pc first. This game was on my watch list for a while but now that blizz gave it for free I wll save for a new graphics card and also a new hdd to migrate my steam library.

I know what you mean, lately HumbleBundle has like 30 tabs or crap until the download button, really annoying! It used to be great, now it's a pain to navigate, I'll often just claim stuff without redeeming now because I don't feel like scrolling through that long of a page! And even the ads/tabs they put on there about discounts and whatnot aren't even that good, like 10-20% is nothing compared to discounts you get elsewhere...

Humble bundle is currently g...

*looks posts above*

Aww...too late. :(


I'm...pretty amazed by this. AFAIK this is the first time outcast second contact is even mentioned on humble: never been in a bundle, let alone a giveaway. It's not a promotion for an upcoming game (rather the inverse: this is the remake of a remastered 1997 game), and not even a cheap game to begin with (even with current -70% discount it's still 10 bucks on steam).

More so: I had it on my wishlist until very recently. And I only removed it because it doesn't like linux/proton very much. But now that it's free, I'm more inclined to tinker with it to see if I can get it to work. :D

The only thing i don't like about humble is that if you don't redeem your free games after a point, they will just go away.

do i need an account? is it redeemable in steam or gog? in my side the site seems broken lol
Like with other GameSessions freebies, you need an account then you play through a mini-client. I don't get them since it's too much trouble having to download before it expires then play for 5 mins, especially since I have shit internet so a game like SE3 would take a full day, so can't really help you there, but do try and get it and if it's too much of a pain for you, just bail:P
