Since I haven't seen anything like it on this forum, I decided to start a thread where people can post links to the games that go free for a short period of time, be it straight from Steam or from other sites offering keys. I will be posting links to the ones I know of, so anyone who knows about other games being temporarily free and are for keeps rather than just free weekends or stuff like that can post a link.


If I find any more, I'll post them on this thread, but I won't be updating this first comment, just go to the last post to find the most up-to-date ones.

Thread has turned into ANY freebies, not just Steam, so heads up!


Instructions for the posts:
-Game Name
-Link to the page where you can get it for free (eg: Steam or humblebundle)
-Expiration date if possible and normal price
-Steps for getting it (eg: requiring account or stuff like that)

So, at this time, the ones I know of are:

Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/sid-meiers-civilization-iii-complete
Expires in about 7 and a half hours (normal price is 4.99€)
Requires humblebundle account, login, add to cart and checkout, then redeem code

Memories of a Vagabond
https://www.indiegala.com/anime?src=menu
Don't know when it expires (normal price is 4.99€)
Requires account and to have linked your Steam account to it too. Once you have done that, scroll to the middle of the page where it has a link to Memories of a Vagabond Steam page along with buttons for sharing it on social media, click the little X button to hide those, then click on "Claim free copy", do the captcha and proceed, then you will get your key.

Blockstorm
Same page as one above, if you get Memories of a Vagabond, you automatically get this one too (the code will be shown on the redeem page straight away so you might miss it)
Don't know when it expires (normal price is 4.99€ but is currently on sale on steam for 0.99€)

If anyone else knows of any freebies available, then feel free to post them. Let's all have Steam libraries with tons of games!

 

This is another freebie, but it's a giveaway for a Beta. However, seeing how you get a key right away and the game looks promising, I don't see why not list it here!

Laser League Beta
http://www.indiegamebundles.com/laser-league-beta-steam-key-giveaway/
Scroll down to the widget where you apply, join the site's Steam group, then follow and you will get your key right away, but hurry up as they are limited! Once you get your key you can leave the group and unfollow on twitter.

 

This thread is actually for publicly free games rather than just one key to one person, but I'll leave this one here in case someone gets interested. I never liked that game, but someone else might want it.

 

Not exactly Steam, but close:

Stronghold HD + A.D.2044
https://www.gog.com/game/polish_giveaway_pack?pp=2c61422714bcb5935215adf442a8f5b1d80ffc54
Make GOG account if you don't have one and just add them at the same time from the link, you get it automatically! Lasts 48 hours, but half of that has gone by already, so hurry up!

@migles You posted right when I was writing this

 

They probably are, just message them and get it if it's for real and you are interested. Just let me know whether it was just a free code or something else. This thread isn't for stuff like trades.

 

Ok, I'll have to keep focus on Steam games, but I'll post every freebie I find on here, since I hate Steam to be honest and prefer DRM-free ones like GOG. And yeah, same reason, 50$ games don't interest me just because of the price, I've stopped playing beat em ups and some other kinds, so someone else should get it.

 

More freebies everyone!

Guns of Icarus Online
https://www.humblebundle.com/store/guns-of-icarus-online?partner=igb&charity=25618
Free for next day and 22 hours (normal price is 4.99€)
Make humble bundle account if you don't have one, just add it to the cart, check out and redeem the steam key!

Cavern Escape
https://www.indiegala.com/store?src=menu
Don't know when it ends (normal price is 0.99€)
Same drill as always from this site, make account, link to Steam, go to just after the middle of the page where you can find the giveaway thingy and claim a key!

PS: First game looks fairly nice, but heads up, second one sucks...

PPS: I've noticed that this thread has gotten quite a few views (almost 400) despite being relatively new, but hardly anyone posted anything or even commented on it, so I'm wondering if people are getting the games or not... Let me know if you do get these games from the links I post here and if you want me to keep this up. Perhaps if it gets bigger I might ask for it to be a stickie or something...

 

yep. sent. tell me if it works (EU only)

 

Worked, all good, thanks again .

Thanks for all these posts, paying the price for no Facebook account, that said; I'd rather cut off my Penis with a rusty breadknife than sign up to it .

 

I hate facebook myself, it's a site full or retards who do nothing more than add strangers as "friends" and think they are important all of a sudden when they are just stuck up idiots! You are welcome btw, good to know people like this!

Unfortunately no, if you click the links and the game isn't free or isn't shown in the page I linked, it means it's over.
