Free games/Giveaways by Publishers/Developers and/or Authorized Retailers!

This thread is to let people know of games made available by Publishers/Developers and/or Authorized Retailers for free.

Shortcut to Current Giveaways

I will keep this up to date as best I can and as I am informed of such giveaways. I will not be searching out these giveaways, so I am relying on the community to keep me informed.

Requirements for Giveaway to be posted:
Must be on an Authorized Retailer or Official site
Giveaway must be free to everyone
No requirements beyond an account and/or service
No contests, lottery or raffle Giveaways
No limited quantity Giveaways
Dedicated Giveaway page (not one buried in the store)
Computer Games/Software Only
More may be added as needed

I will not give credit for listings as multiple people may have informed me of the same Giveaway.

Grey market (unauthorized reseller), user or anything that looks like it may not be safe/legal, will not be listed and will be deleted from this thread. If I am not sure of the source, I may remove it/not list it just to be safe.

If a user wishes to giveaway a game, they can:
Post in a game's trading sub-forum.
Post in a giveaway group.
Use Steam Gifts[www.steamgifts.com] (not owned or operated by Valve)

I reserve the right to stop updating this thread, lock it or delete it, for any reason and at any time

*3rd party Giveaways posted out-side of this thread are considered advertising and will be removed and the user warned or banned (if previously warned).

**There will be no criticizing/complaining about the services/companies giving away these games. They are free games and you are not forced to get them. Discussion of the games is allowed, provided there is no arguing and it is done with in reason. Remember, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and no one has to agree with anyone else.

I will try to keep this up to date as best I can. I apologize is advance for any missed Giveaways or non-removal of expired Giveaways.

I will be monitoring this thread. If it goes off-topic I may be forced to lock it, though I will still try to keep it updated. In the event this happens, users can let me know of qualifying giveaways and their current status in my profile's comment section.

Please do not send me invites. All invites will be rejected.

We know as much about that as you do. We don't even get told when new features are being added until everyone else on Steam does.

So you're as oblivious as all of us?
Well I'll wait for our next giveaway.

Don't know if this is the right place to ask but what about steam free weekends, can we post those too? Sometimes I even don't hear about them cause I don't go to the store all the time.

I figure those are advertised in the news and/or store page on Steam, so I didn't see a point doing so. You don't get to keep the games either, so it isn't a giveaway so much as a full featured demo.

We tend to let at least one post about those float around so others can find out about it.

So that's a yes for posting in this thread or you still fine with a thread about it?

I'm going to assume this is for games that are temporarily free? Because I would be lying if I said that i'm not tempted to post every good/interesting free game that I have (or will) come across.

Uhh, no.
Giveaway is different from a free weekend game.
