Origin's pretty inoffensive nowadays. It's certainly no uPlay, at any rate.

Hell, at least you can actually browse the storefront of any other digital distribution platform and find good stuff, something Valve didn't account for when opening the floodgates for every single two-bit developer to put their garbage games on Steam.
Reminder that the first third-party Steam game was Ragdoll Kung Fu, and Eternity's Child wasn't very far behind.

Also on the Twitch Prime subject: The free games for May are being revealed in two parts by (assumedly) popular streamers. The first three are:
High Hell
Gone Home
Psychonauts

The rest'll be revealed through some other streamer some time tonight. I guess they'll be up on May 1st?

EDIT: The rest are:
I, Hope
Clustertruck
Titan Souls

The infamously-bad Too Human, which was removed from sale in 2013 following a copyright-infringement suit over plagarizing Unreal Engine 3 code, has been made available for free download on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Somehow. Nobody's quite willing to discuss the legal machinations involved, beyond Epic permitting it.

Yeah, Rockstar have had their own launcher for years, but it's mostly used for retail copies so you probably only saw it briefly blink by when starting up your Steam copy of Max Payne 3 or GTA5.

The Android port of Downwell is free until "September 27th, 23:59PM GMT" to make up for a bug that required them to re-release the game as a seperate app. Downwell is fantastic, so if you have an Android phone this is basically non-optional.

Bit of a stretch maybe, but does anyone know what the best way to play Tyrian is these days?
OpenTyrian is a native source port, but it lacks the extra content from Tyrian 2000.

Tyrian 2000 has the extra content, but runs in a DOSbox emulator.

Both are free. Choose the one you most prefer!

GOG doesn't do a thing where they'll give me a steam code rather than a DRM free version, right?
No. They are, however, doing the exact polar opposite, where if you own one of the following games on Steam, you can get a DRM-free GOG copy for free:

Age of Wonders: Planetfall
DUSK
Galaxy Trucker Extended Edition
Through The Ages

The Connect system is a bit weird during busy times, and requires your game list on your Steam profile to be publicly visible, so you may need to tweak your privacy settings.

I'd love a proper Unreal/Unreal Tournament remaster. There's apparently Unreal Redux that's an indie project in the works, but not even an inkling of a release date.

Facing Worlds/Hall of Giants, :sigh:
These are remasters in the "make the game run gooder on modern machines" sense and not the "redone graphics" sense, but OldUnreal have released an Unreal 1 227 Patch and are working on something similar for UT99, all based on the original source code with Epic's approval.

I would love for it to be UT2K4

(Drag-drop version still works on win10, but a store version is helpful for getting people into it.)

In the event of it not being a freebie, UT2004 and the other Unreal games are currently $2.50 (and DRM-free, of course) at GOG.

Epic were making a new UT themselves with proper mod support before Fortnite took off, it got abandoned pretty soon after.
It was practically abandoned out of the gate, they only had a skeleton crew and were hoping for fans to do a lot of the work. The skeleton crew then made this battle royale mode for Fortnite using the pre-existing assets from that game, and...

The PC port of AC2 was also fairly controversial due to it requiring a constant internet connection. I dunno if they ever patched it out or what, but if the internet in your area's currently sucking up a storm due to everybody using it to the hilt, it might be worth keeping that in mind.
