Maybe I have some sort of premium account but I haven't been getting the issues other people have. I opened my EGS, clicked store, clicked on GTAV, and clicked get and sailed on through.

Smurfing happens in any game with MMR or ELO or whatever. Ask me about all the times I see someone in R6 siege get 11 kills and they are level 22. Either they smurfed or they are wallhacking.

The thread for spending hours of your life tracking and pouncing on game giveaways to avoid having to pay for things is utterly baffled by the concept of people spending money on a game they enjoy.

This bonus cash is only available to first-time Starter Pack owners."

That honestly seems like way too much work for 2 bucks. It makes sense if you live somewhere where the other jobs are spending 12 hours a day making shoes for the same amount of money.

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

If you could consistently get the $2 and it takes you 5 minutes per, that's $24/hr. That's a respectable amount in any country in the world.

Yeah it briefly popped up as a store listing yesterday without a purchase price or any way to buy it and then it was taken down. Feel like it's a pretty safe bet! Man, I know most people who want those games already have them, but those are some wild free game releases. If you got a PC with nothing on it aside from all the games that have been free on EGS you'd be set for a long long time.

Weird, i saw that listing in the EGS a couple hours ago when i got gta 5 and it had a $15 price tag on it. I can't confirm what happens when you click it because now the page is giving a 500 error

Edit: the page is in an eastern european language again but yeah Witcher 3 is there and listed for $15

Great.

The company that makes the Witcher games owns GOG. Seems weird to offer their game for free on EGS, especially when they've given away Witcher 1 and 2 as ways to promote their own competing store and client, but haven't given away Witcher 3 for the same purpose yet.

If they get paid by EGS for each copy of Witcher 3 and maybe can link it back to GOG the way ubisoft does with uplay it might make sense.

It really does sound like the rumor is because "well it's not in the store" with Wario64 citing a reddit screenshot

Except it is in the store and it's $14.99*


*just for logging in you get $10 off anything 14.99+ so really $4.99

I mean I guess that doesn't stop them from giving it away free next week but I imagine that will fire up more righteous fury

Yeah, if CD projekt was going to be giving away Witcher 3 it'd probably be through their own store front and tied to buying their new Cyberpunk game.

Was the 2013 "Tomb Raider" game given out for free at some point? It's in my Steam library for some reason (and the new "Play Next" feature has it listed at the top for me now), and I definitely never bought it (I have zero interest in it). I'm guessing it was a giveaway somewhere at some point, but I don't have any email receipts for it, I always save them even for free games. And I seriously don't remember ever adding it.
