Did I see that The Crew is ONLY free for this month and then your free license expires or did I misread an article about it?

Steam key & installers (Win/OSX/Linux) for Spacecom, a strategy.

Register at https://indiegamebundles.gamesrepublic.com/ (I already had an account from years ago when I bought SpinTires through theses guys, they're a legit webshop as far as I know)

Go to your profile: https://gamesrepublic.com/user/managepage

Subscribe to the newsletter by unticking the right box, see image:


Now go back to the front page at https://indiegamebundles.gamesrepublic.com/

There's a big orange button that says "Get Spacecom for Free". Press it. On the bottom of your screen it'll say "Important! Your game will be added to your account soon. Go to "My Games" to download it."

Go to https://gamesrepublic.com/user/mygames

At this point I tried to obtain the key but got an error saying "Error We are sorry to inform you that we're momentarily out of keys for Spacecom. This is a temporary situation, we are rushing to get new
keys just now. As soon as we have them, a new key will be added to your account. No further action from you is required. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience."

I could download the installers fine though.

Go to your profile: https://gamesrepublic.com/user/managepage

Untick the three boxes at the bottom so they stop sending you mail.

I've been a bit busy but it's also kinda quiet on the giveaway front. I think gleam.io changed its terms, people got caught selling steam groups and youtube channels etc.

http://dlh.net has Steam keys for a whole bunch of games at the moment:

Heli Heroes
World War II Panzer Claws 1+2
The Troma Project
Chicken Shoot 2
Earth 2150 - The Moon Project
Commander - Conquest Of The Americas
Pirates of Black Cove
Knightshift

:siren: DLH got hacked recently so you may wanna change your password if you already had an account there. :siren:

You can set your language to "Englisch" in the top right by clicking on the German flag.

They have the weirdest captcha, which involves clicking and dragging this red arrow to the right:



After logging in go to https://www.dlh.net/en/steam-keys.html

Press the like on facebook button underneath a game to obtain a key. You do actually need a functional facebook account for this, and DLH will scrape your profile, but won't be able to post in your name:



Another captcha will follow, I hope you're not colourblind! :v:



They have hourly and daily limits so you may miss out and will need to return at a later time.

When you've got your key you can do some damage control on Facebook.

- Go to "edit profile", then go to "view activity log". I can't post the links as they're different for every FB user.
- You can see what likes have been added, you can remove them if you wish
- Your profile has already been scraped at this point, but if you'd like, go to https://www.facebook.com/settings

Origin's "On The House" freebie has been changed to Dungeon Keeper. If you grab it now it's yours forever. This game is really old, I have no idea if this edition runs properly on a modern system. The system requirements seem oddly high for such an old game.

I have two giveaways for you today. On DLH.net there is The I of the Dragon, some sort of RPG from 2004.

See my earlier post on navigating DLH.net

On Cubicbundle you can grab Monsti, a flappy bird style single-button platformer: https://cubicbundle.com/monsti_giveaway



Only the Steam link requires you to (temporarily) set your profile to public and log in via Steam. The other tasks just open a popup window which you can close, that's it. I couldn't get the first task to work though, so I have no idea if this actually works.

On Steam you can grab Batman: The Telltale Series: Episode 1, a point and click adventure. for free for a "limited time only". The series will consist of five episodes in total of which currently three have been released.

Go to this page in your browser and log into the steam website, or look up the game in the steam store.

Then scroll down until you see a heading that says Episode 1 Free - Click Here To Download and click on the image below that to install the game.

It doesn't seem to actually save the game to your Steam account, so they really do mean "for a limited time only", I guess.

If you search in the Steam store, there's also a "Batman - The Telltale Series Demo" which is also just episode 1 and also free. It even links back to the same store page.

That's how free games work on Steam. You can do the same with Adventure Capitalist, for instance. It still remembers that you "own" it and other things like achievements.

Yes. But this is a game that was free only temporarily (well, assuming it is not in fact the exact same thing as the demo, for the purposes of this argument). Once the temporary download link is gone from the store page, how would I recover it, regardless of what it "remembers"?

On Bundle Stars you can grab Hektor, a horror game, for free through one of those scummy Gleam.io things: https://www.bundlestars.com/en/giveaway



- Youtube link: Press play, skip to a few seconds before the end of the video, let it play out.
- Facebook link: Does not require an account
- Steam group link: You must join and (temporarily) have your profile set to public.
- After completing all five tasks, a sixth will appear. "Follow @pcgamer on twitter". You will actually need a twitter account for this, and link it to Gleam so they can verify.

You will immediately receive the key.

Damage control (optional):

- Leave the Steam group, set your profile back to private.
- Unfollow the twitter account
- Remove gleam.io from accessing your twitter at https://twitter.com/settings/applications
- Unsubscribe from the mailing list. You can do this when you first receive a mail from them. Alternatively, (not sure if this works):

I went here: http://support.bundlestars.com/hc/en-us/articles/201027452-How-can-I-subscribe-to-or-unsubscribe-from-your-mailing-list-

Which sent me to http://bundlestars.us1.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=8c91a39196d452fc8446b9e62&id=3437eaaeba

so I changed the word "subscribe" to "unsubscribe" in the URL and ended up with this, which gives me a form where I can unsubscribe:
