did they update them to need a drm? because hl2 and hl1-source should be drm fre eif you just add an extra command line argument to a shortcutbut there is a catch--they are free for two months only and time-bombed.
They are DRM free still, don't worry about it, LOTS of games are actually if you are looking at older games, all you need to do is change the shortcut from a link to Steam's ID to instead point to the actual .exe file and they work fine!did they update them to need a drm? because hl2 and hl1-source should be drm fre eif you just add an extra command line argument to a shortcut
so technically it's free to keep if you know what you're doing
edit:to elaborate, i'm not talking about torrents, i'm talking about them being drm free on steam. it's how i get these games on my older systems running XP, which doesn't support steam
there;s quite a list of drm free games on steam https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_DRM-Free_Games_on_Steam

I've been trying to do this with opposing force, half life source, team fortress classic, an blue shift, but they seem to be routed through the original 1st and second game. Any chance you could explain how to do it a bit more? There seems to be no .exes for those games in those locations (opening local files for these games opens half life 1 and 2)They are DRM free still, don't worry about it, LOTS of games are actually if you are looking at older games, all you need to do is change the shortcut from a link to Steam's ID to instead point to the actual .exe file and they work fine!
Don't know about the games you've mentioned since I've never tried them, not all of them have .exe in the directories, which is a pain, but a lot others do (mainly non-Valve ones, especially ones from before 2009), if you can't find the executable, then I can't really help you, even I don't know how to do that without a no-DRM patch (just download it from pirating sites and install just that instead of the entire game).I've been trying to do this with opposing force, half life source, team fortress classic, an blue shift, but they seem to be routed through the original 1st and second game.

It's fine, some mild discussion is allowed, no need to be too uptightMaybe we should make a new thread for free games troubleshooters since this thread is supposed to be for posting the free games released only to avoid the confusion. Just saying.

Well, I'm the OP, so...LOL.. Not too uptight.. Just thought that's all.
Your link did not work for me, but this one does:Meanwhile...
Epic is still continuing offering free games weekly (apparently)
Free now until the 30th is The Bridge :
https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/download/the-bridge/home
(next week will be Farming Simulator 19)
Realistic you say? Gulping down loaves of bread and tons of seemingly rotten cheese only for the character to say they are hungry again isn't very realisticTwo games on the epic store this week:
Carcassonne
Ticket to ride
Great board games, no doubt. Great virtual implementation as well, though I find it to be easier to play on a mobile device.
You might want to check in next week, though (okay, from 13th february onward). Then it'll be Kingdom come Deliverance and Aztez. Kingdom Come is a tough as nails (but extremely realistic) open world RPG. Aztez is a 2D brawler that seems to borrow Madworld's visuals and guacamelee's fighting style (I might be wrong on that...I've never played it).
Knights burn threw a lot of calories lol. Those Armor suits are heavy af and they do a lot lolRealistic you say? Gulping down loaves of bread and tons of seemingly rotten cheese only for the character to say they are hungry again isn't very realistic
I try to collect em all, worst case a friend/my SO plays the ones I don't. or I can flex on my game networthits nice of epic that they give free games but its theyre of various genres and tastes so idk if i should start collecting them, looks like great idea but in th end i probably wont play any of them
