Free demo doesn't count as free

Fasola · Wednesday at 11:16 AM

To be fair, developers have muddied the waters in the past few years with what is and isn't a demo by releasing them as separate products titled Game Name: Prologue or some other variation (although there are some genuine ones as well).

That said, I'm for keeping both types of demos out of this thread.

I'm for keeping all the discussion on what is and isn't a free game (and their quality) off this thread. If see notification from the free games thread, I expect to see a free game! :mad:

How about a separate, meta-thread?

And what makes you different from a person that get a notificiation, come here and find out that the game posted isn't actually free?

pfft, duplicate. Shouldn't whine about freebies, but hey, it's Christmas...

edit: not even free DLCs

john_ · Wednesday at 7:40 PM

that get a notificiation

Just an idea.
Personally I don't get notifications from this thread, so I don't care if it is free stuff only for those having a Prime account or free demos that are not free games (for over 20 years I know that demos are not games), because I don't get notified!
I just have replaced my bookmark for TPU in my bookmarks toolbar with this one
https://www_techpowerup.com/forums/threads/free-games-thread.113782/latest
that always opens this thread to it's last post.

Epic is kinda weird, some games come on and off the free games list. I'm not 100% but I think Control is one of them.

Would be nice that if they give a duplicate, then they'd give a single DLC with it at least.

We shouldn't be whining about freebies but still...

The game is old and probably most people forgot about it or don't care anymore to buy and play this game.
By giving the game for free the developer hopes that someone will be interested enough to at least buy the DLCs.
If they start offering those DLCs for free, then we can be sure that they don't expect any more income from that game.

Fair enough and actually a hella good point.

Ghostrunner 2 is a good one, was not expecting that, nice. I got both of them for free now, honestly good games even if I suck at them. I will give them a proper go someday with Heroic Launcher

one more game added to prime gaming today
