Also on Epic is a free weekend open beta of Skull and Bones.




Dakar Desert Rally is a fine giveaway next week I'll be happy to collect!!
its a shame that they wasted so much potential in Skulls and Bones, Ubisoft have everything for putting in it that game and make it pirate game, all the mechanics, raids, melee combat, treasure hunting. FFS
this game has more than S&B, i love pirate stories and game but it lacks adventure and discovery. They focused too much on the ships and added it worthless rpg elements.
Words cant express my frustration about this, but it feels empty for calling it a real pirate game.

theHunter Call of the Wild™ - New England Scout Cosmetic Pack DLC:

This has been available for a year or so.

OT Shameless Marketing Tie-in
Consider signing up for an Apex Connect account if you value them. Right now you can get a free Lunar New Year cosmetic pack by linking it to your game. They just show up without any notice if you are playing during an event. Over time I've changed my opinion and found a few that improved tents beyond what I'd thought likely.

FlatOut on giveaway on GOG:

I'll be grabbing that! FlatOut 2 is my guilty pleasure when I need something mindless and it runs great even on a 10 year old office laptop iGPU. 2 is supposedly better than 1 here but even a less good FlatOut is still good for free.

Damn... What's up with Epic Games?! :wtf: They been doing that for quite some time now. Some games are low budget so, sure... some free marketing helps from those who get them for free. But others are pretty high tier (production budget, graphics & game-play wise). I take it - this too are free for a limited time - to get promoted by those who play them. Funny enough (or ironic if you will) - this type of marketing - used to be done "with the help of piracy" :D That's how many games became so known/popular (most didn't afforded so they play the pirated version - and thus the news spread about those games being actually good enough to be worth buying by those who afford it). Even more than that - that's how Windows became so popular world wide. However was handling the marketing/sales department for Microsoft was not stupid (or maybe this was a fluck... far from an intended strategy - but they sure reaped the benefits). Sure, for the public eye they acted as if it's not ok - but never took any serious anti-piracy measures - quite the opposite - they rolled with it and made it easier to pirate and thus... to spread. And that, was the smartest Marketing move (be it dumb luck if you will) - long before free 2 play became a thing.

Several DLCs for free games are now free? Erm... what? :wtf:
Usually those aren't free DLCs. Like the basic game is f2p but additional content isn't etc

Ah! Wargaming has really changed a lot in recent years, and not for the better.

[DLC] "World of Tanks Blitz - Bene Gesserit Pack". :) Yet another time limited FREE Wargaming DLC.

The offer is valid as part of the Dune: Part Two event, which runs in WoT Blitz from February 23 to March 7.

Makes me wonder what the fu** happend that they had to change from the Fallout Trilogy to this trash game? :wtf: What a downgrade.
