Exactly this.

Besides, many games go pretty damn cheap over the Christmas period anyway.

Indeed.
And as said before, on christmas many games go highly discounted.
There will always be a chance of getting a game at a dirt cheap price on Steam

Yeah

Yeah and why should vlave or any other company foot that bill hmm?
If a dev wants to give away a game they are free to do so.

There's no "bill" if they give one of their own games, though. They don't need to pay themselves.

At least Half-Life was given this year, so that's something.

By wishing really hard for free games, obviously.

Valve owes you nothing.

Truer words were never written.

There are other various platforms who give out steam keys for free, for example:

https://steamhost.cn/app/671510/DESOLATE/
FREE 4 LIMITED TIME
@ Fanatical: https://www.fanatical.com/game/desolate

Such events arent even rare, there are free steam keys everywhere on everyday to find ..

A company doesn't have to owe you anything to give away free games, though.

I am utterly confused. Can somebody please close this thread?

It sounds like a good idea, Epic give away several AAA games a year so there is no reason steam (who is a much more profitable company) couldn’t do the same.
