Free Steam Games - Carlos - 10-17-2014
http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/15/6984379/steam-free-games-weekend
Quote:Starting Thursday, Oct. 16, Steam will host a free weekend that Valve says is the service's biggest yet; 10 PC games in all will be free during the weekend-long promotion, which would total about $240 if purchased at their regular price.
Steam's free weekend kicks off at 10 a.m. PT tomorrow and includes the following titles, which Valve says will also be available for purchase "at tremendous savings."
- Awesomenauts
- Blade Symphony
- Company of Heroes 2
- Don't Starve
- Grid 2
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Killing Floor
Payday 2
Trine 2
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
I thought of posting this in the free gaming thread at first, but I figured this is something that would need its own thread. Also, small little poll. Which is your favorite of these 10 games?

Just saying I'm a sucker for racing games anyway and I was planning on buying Grid 2, but now it's free! Cool beans.
RE: Free Steam Games - RepentantSky - 10-17-2014
Never played any of those actually.
RE: Free Steam Games - Berry - 10-17-2014
I'm positive that theses games will fry my computer.
RE: Free Steam Games - Psychospacecow - 10-17-2014
Love me some Payday 2 and Enemy Unknown.

Hm. Apparently this is not a thing in Europe. Crud.
Scratch that, I'm an idiot. I was trying to find them from the Steam store but they were already in my library.
RE: Free Steam Games - Mass Distraction - 10-18-2014
Sorry for the doublepost, gotta bump this thread. These games are only free until tomorrow, after which they stop working unless you pay for them. We've been had.
RE: Free Steam Games - Psychospacecow - 10-18-2014
They do this all the time. I thought this was expected?
RE: Free Steam Games - Mass Distraction - 10-19-2014
Yes, they do, but it's never spun around on the internet mediums as much as this time. All the media attention made me think it was real for once.
RE: Free Steam Games - Psychospacecow - 10-19-2014
Fair enough. I think all the attention was from it being a larger roster than we typically see.
