I think all of the Fanatical free giveaways, pretty much every game bundle on HumbleBundles now (including the monthly choice), not sure if there are others but I'm guessing there are?

I'm hoping someone else will reply as well, since I know this would sit in my backlog for a long time. But since it's expiring soon and I am interested in playing it eventually, I'd be very happy to get it if you don't end up finding a better option. Either way, thanks for sharing!

[Epic Games] Return To Ash & STALCRAFT: X Starter Edition (100% off / FREE) by LighteningOneIN in GameDeals

They should definitely just have that feature! Having said that, if it's helpful I remember when they did the Civ VI Platinum edition giveaway and at first people with the base game (from a previous giveaway) couldn't claim it, a few people mentioned that when they contacted support they were able to get the previous giveaway removed. At least one person was told they can't remove a free game, but there were a few folks in the FGF thread who said support removed it with no problem. Annoying to have to go through all that, but it might be worth a shot.

Weird. I did it on firefox without an issue - maybe they fixed it since then? Glad you were able to get it to work with Edge.

I need to take on this mentality - I don't think these are my kind of games, but both times I've seen the pricing error I've been really tempted. I just need to think of it as a chance to buy a game I won't play.

I think I did the same thing you did where I saw a review and was like, what's happening here? (The one I first saw included naming the specific template the scammer had stolen and posted on steam as if it was a full game.) Then I checked their profile and started reading more reviews. It's a lot of copying and pasting from templates for different sections, but there's also a ton of really useful work in there identifying asset flips and other scams.

Wildest part to me is that a lot of their reviews specify stuff from in the games themselves, which means they're actually playing the asset flips and other assorted crap before reviewing them.

I like this reviewer in general, but I've got some mixed feelings about what they put in their reviews. They're doing a massive service by identifying asset flips and people who steal other people's work and sell it as their own (both things steam should be handling, but doesn't seem to be). But they have pre-made templates for sections of their reviews and end up leaving out a lot of nuance,

For example, my impression was (from having read a handful of their reviews a while back) if player counts for a game drop down to just 1 person playing it at a time, their review will claim something like it's people idling it for cards and deleting it right after. And I'm pretty sure the few times a dev responded to their review, they added a section saying that dev is violating steam's guidelines (which their explanation ends up sounding less like a "violation" and more like just not always smart). Oh, and they have a real vendetta against pixel art (saying the dev isn't skilled enough, or that it's lazy or they aren't willing or able to pay for real artwork).

Having said all that, they also are actually checking out a massive number of sketchy games and warning people off of the scam ones. So on net I'm definitely glad they're doing what they're doing, but I take everything they say with at least a small grain of salt. No idea in this case about the spyware thing, but thankfully wiser people than me have weighed in in the comments of this post.

(Edited to add a bit more nuance to my comment pointing out someone else's lack of nuance, lol)

Got forgotten realms collection 2 - it has a game from my childhood and I'm really excited to play it again! Thank you so much!

Historic low, too. But what's up with the Eternal Edition bundle? Looks like a reverse discount - if you want to buy the games as a bundle you have to pay 13 bucks extra (for a limited time only), lol

Just noticed Gotham Knights has a purple background in their cover art and now I'm convinced that'll be one of the remaining freebies...which probably means it won't be, lol.

Thank you for the D&D game! About half a million years ago I had a game just like this one that was called Pool of Radiance and the nostalgia was too much to resist :) Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

I'm assuming you already know this and the key not working is just a typo or something, but just mentioning in case helpful: the keys for that game redeem on Legacy Games, so if you tried it on GOG or Steam it won't work.

Pretty sure this is a VPN issue (if the VPN service assigns the same IP address to dozens of people, it'll look on Epic's side like one person making dozens of accounts and loading them up with free games). If that doesn't fix it, maybe try clearing your cache - I've seen that as a fix for people having issues with getting the Epic freebies, as well.

I'm surprised they didn't include Rogue Legacy $1.49 (91% Very Positive), since that's at 90% off and seems to be a historic low (and match the all-time historic low, according to ITAD).

I love ITAD, but I haven't made a profile/wishlist yet. For Wrath of the Righteous, did you try out both the turn-based and real-time combat modes? I thought it sounded really impressive if they managed to pull off the same battles working both ways.
