Whether to bother to get the egs games this week has been handily answered by the complete lack of interest from anyone to actually post them I guess. 😁

Incidentally, if you own the original SR4 on Steam you'll apparently be given a free copy of Re-Elected with all the DLC on that date.

Fort Triumph sounds interesting to me: xcom meets heroes of might and magic. I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to.

Also not a free game but possibly a free steam deck to install (but not play) those free games on: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/thegameawardssteamdeckdrop2022

It didn't hold my interest for very long though. It felt like a lesser Xcom meets a lesser HoMM. There might be a good game in there, but I didn't put in enough time to find it.

i remember that some goons really liked fort triumph when it came out, but i wasn't terribly impressed by it. it substituted design for randomization whenever possible.

hold up and listen to me a minute. fort triumph is good and you should play it. you can make Mousetrap-like combos with the enemy push/pull/kick and the character reactions and the environmental interactions. it's nothing like xcom. my dissatisfactions with it are mechanical stuff like lacking a high ground bonus (that actually does anything noticeable) and the fact that the campaign is short and there aren't enough classes. my complaints are stuff tht would be fixed in a sequel. in fact, fort triumph 2 is the only game sequel i'm really desirous of. maybe it just happens to cater to my specific druthers, but it's definitely worth investing an hour in to see if you like it too. gimme the GOD drat candy posted:i remember that some goons really liked fort triumph when it came out, but i wasn't terribly impressed by it. it substituted design for randomization whenever possible. i absolutely agree that handcrafted campaign fights would really make it sing.

The fine print does not specify games. It just says "you must have made a purchase on Steam between 12:00am GMT on Nov 14, 2021 and 11:59 pm GMT on Nov 14, 2022, from one of the Giveaway Countries," so I am going to assume these wallet credits in my purchase history will count.

No idea. Haven't bought one in 20 years. But it was like 3bux then, so I assume it's like $15 now, and with gamepass being a buck a month, there's no reason not to have it.

Yeah, the "no purchase necessary" here (and on other contests like McDonald's Monopoly or whatever) is because otherwise it would be considered gambling, legally, and open up a whole other can of worms.

It all stems down to people running giveaways years ago and then some crybaby crybabying because they weren't allowed to enter the sweepstakes to win something because they weren't willing to go buy a taco or whatever was required to enter. So now you have to offer a free entry via the mail. And even then, I think there are some states where you just can't do a giveaway at all.

Sometimes you have to settle with $1 for 3 months of Gamepass Ultimate. But I've been doing it for a year or more now.

I’ve been doing it for a few months. But it initially didn’t work after my first trial. And some others only ever get the three month trial.
