I hope Hitman 2 is one of the free games. Its yet to be put on the store like 1 or 3 and im afraid that the moment I buy it itll be made free lool
Yes, Remnant was one of the titles last year as well. They usually do have quite some repeats.Bah, they must have already given away Remnant: From the Ashes as it's already in my library. Hopefully tomorrow's is better.
Guys, just... no. Exercise some common sense.
I don't see why we need a poll to decide whether the thread should stay on the topic it was created for (and stayed in for the past three years and a half). It's one thing to discuss e.g. how to get the games themselves when people are having trouble, but having everyone chime in on what they think of each game, let alone pointless bumps like the above, are annoying for everyone subscribed to the thread. If people want to discuss the games outside the scope of the thread, they're still free to do so, well, outside the thread.You could do like the bst thread does periodically and create a poll. It should then be obvious where the majority falls.
Not on EGS, so it'd have to be a new addition tomorrow.
I really don't get this rule though. Why don't you just watch it without notifications and check it throughout the day if it really bothers you if there are a handful of posts sometimes between the free games? It's not like most of the freebies in here go away immediately if you're not around to check for a few hours (and the rare ones that do have a tight time/# of redemptions limit are often posted a little bit after the giveaway started anyway, so a lot of the replies are people saying they were already too late). I personally like seeing when people mention they liked or did not like a game listed here, because sometimes I will just pass on it if what a person talks about sounds like something I wouldn't enjoy anyway.I don't see why we need a poll to decide whether the thread should stay on the topic it was created for (and stayed in for the past three years and a half).

Why would I want to do that? The whole point of subscribing to a thread is not having to remember about it.I really don't get this rule though.

The fact that people miss giveaways tells me precisely that people don't always have time to check the thread every time, especially if they're working or busy, and that it getting bumps several times a day makes it more likely for them to ignore them and miss the important ones. And with Epic giving away games for 24 hours, that's more likely than ever.It's not like most of the freebies in here go away immediately if you're not around to check for a few hours (and the rare ones that do have a tight time/# of redemptions limit are often posted a little bit after the giveaway started anyway, so a lot of the replies are people saying they were already too late).
OK, how about we make another thread to discuss the free games, and people can subscribe to that one too if they want? Would that work for everyone?I personally like seeing when people mention they liked or did not like a game listed here, because sometimes I will just pass on it if what a person talks about sounds like something I wouldn't enjoy anyway.
That's because it's not been a problem until now, but sure, I'll add that once we figure it out.Also if it's truly a rule of the thread, maybe you should add it to the OP, because that rule isn't stated anywhere.
Probably Chivalry 1, or Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Same, I'd rather have the chatter in another thread. And for example the Epic games giveaway already has a separate thread on ERA.I personally come to this thread for the free games and news on upcoming free games. Anything else has no value.
You really don't see the irony of you carrying on with this discussion and also contributing to said issue you are talking about?Why would I want to do that? The whole point of subscribing to a thread is not having to remember about it.
I just check here from time to time, there is a discord server that send notifications for free game that I like.
Yup.Is it open for new members? I would totally join. Not because I don't like the discussion here, but more because the people bitching about how others are posting here is just the worst.
Yup.
They have set up different way. RSS, Discord bot, Discord server, browser alerts. They don't do post stuff for Amazon prime, but I am fine with that since I am on Twitch everyday and see that Twitch Notification.

Day 5 hint
it's loop hero, the shield and opposing swords design is identical to the hint image
Wasn't aware of this until now, but thanks for the info. Good looking out.The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter is possibly still the best 'walking simulator' I played, and was at one point my No. 1 game for 2014 (I think that's the year it came out).
But the owner of the studio is a Gamergater, and has a printed track record of some right-leaning views. It's why I stopped following any news of their next game.
I can't stop anyone from grabbing this for free, but if you do and enjoy it, please don't buy whatever comes next.
yay I havent bought this one yet
btw the biggest game of this giveaway is supposed to be on 26th according to that french leaker

There's always someone that believes themselves to be so smart and how much of a shame it is that everyone else doesn't know, isn't there?You really don't see the irony of you carrying on with this discussion and also contributing to said issue you are talking about?

It's not that deep so don't give yourself too much credit, we're not discussing serious issues here, just free games. Simply pointing out the irony of contributing to something you are complaining about. In 116 pages of this thread, I have posted a total of 17 times so I clearly don't have an issue not posting in the thread. We have managed thus far to keep the thread going without people missing any free stuff because of people discussing.There's always someone that believes themselves to be so smart and how much of a shame it is that everyone else doesn't know, isn't there?
Not missing any point, state your issue and move along, quoting people and telling them not to share their thoughts in the thread is rather disrespectful. if you don't want to have a discussion by all means don't. I don't see any issue with people discussing within the thread. If it annoys anyone, ignore it, come at the end of the day and scroll through the page for the stuff that has been posted. A threadmark could be made for the pertinent posts with the links. I hardly think that is making a fool of myself.Man you keep saying things and just straight up missing the point.
It is not illogical to have a discussion about why someone doesn't want to have a discussion, so as to hopefully solve the underlying issue so it doesn't happen in the future. This is not hard and you're making a fool of yourself.
Know what is a nonsense thing to say?
I know, don't worry; we posted at the exact same time. In fact your post appeared as the page refreshed after I posted mine. :)
I know you made the thread, but this really feels like thread policing. Like THIS is the topic at hand. This is important for the future of the thread. We should respectfully talk about it, imo. And shutting people down is chasing people away, as already seen in previous posts. Frankly, I think you're doing it backwards. Have the discussion while the decision is being made, once it's made, shut down the discussion.Again:
I ask everyone on both sides to please refrain from further metadiscussing this specific topic until the poll ends, and just vote instead.
The arguments in favor of either position have already been clearly laid out; at this point it's no longer a "discussion" in any meaningful way; clearly nobody on either side has any real interest in what anyone on the other side of this has to say, and it has become merely about proving the other side wong. Nothing productive will come out of it anymore, and it's self-obviously making the problem worse, so if people keep ignoring the above, I'll simply contact mods and let them handle it.
When the poll results are in, I will make a note of it in the OP. Additionally, if "yes" wins, the OP will direct people annoyed by the bumps to subscribe to the Discord mentioned above. If "no" wins, the OP will instead direct people to a thread explicitly created for discussing the games.
We can discuss once the poll is over.I know you made the thread, but this really feels like thread policing. Like THIS is the topic at hand. This is important for the future of the thread.
