Free Video Game Giveaways

2913 readers

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!)

Please don't repost stuff that's already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk rules (i.e. don't be a dick!)

It's not just 'sign up for a newsletter' - I just tried, and it's also 'register an account and link your steam account'. Maybe this is just how it works for Canadians though, but either way it's a big enough turn off for me to not bother.

Oh yeah I did that a while ago so I forgot, but yeah I think that's the case for everyone. Ultimately I think Steam explicitly tells you what info they get and it isn't that much, but that's the "price" for a free game.

No worries if it's not for you though, if your Lemmy client lets you block posts you can set up a filter for Fanatical and you shouldn't see any more giveaways like this.

I'm happy for them to be posted here and see them, just wanted to mention my experience with the requirements since I don't have a fanatical account.
