I can attest that game engines can and are being used as games by many, many people.

As for the trading cards limitation, it's a thing Steam does for its freebies. Every game drops like 3 or 4 randomly as you play them. Freebies drop none. I suppose it's because these this can be traded for [Steam wallet] money.
Fair enough on the 1st point.

I am aware that freebies claimed directly from Steam don't drop cards, but I've never seen more or less the same version next to a free one. Also, the cards aren't worth the price, unless whoever buys that gets very lucky with one specific 15$ foil card. Weird, but whatever.

amazon has offered me in past year several times "7 days prime for 0.99€" Very rarely it's a free prime week.
It's worth it when you want to order something small. than watch those amazon prime video exclusive and than grab the games.

If amazon does not offer me that 7 days offer I just wait or just do not buy. No is No. 1€ prime week is barely okay. I'm probably one of the few who never bought something on steam, ubisoft, ea, and the other crap launchers. Only physical games around year 2000 or free amd reward games.

Got mad with Amazon forcing me to try prime, but at least I get a few free games.

Surely you have a friend that has Prime that doesn't use the redeem game feature, just ask them to do that in return for a drink someday. What are friends for eh?

Heck yeah. I'm surprised you didn't claim the Bioshock Infinite!

I did claim them, I just took the screenshot before I was done claiming is all.

If someone is interested in participating the closed alpha, PM me, as I have 4 access codes to share.

But please make sure that it's your cup of tea first. Check their homepage, videos posted by players on the web.
Give a chance to someone that might really like the game, and have an ambition and patience to give feedback to make it better. Currently it runs very bad, looks like shit, have a very little content, and will force you to download updates very frequently. The game will be F2P when released anyway.
Basically, it's an Elden Ring flavored Warframe. Cheers.

I allready got a code for Bioshock Infinite, if you have a spare one, please give it to somebody else, ok? Thanks

Why can't you just edit that post? Would make it easier, not everyone scrolls down.

Humankind being free on the eve of Civ VII that copied half the game lmao. Well played, marketing. Now why would I pay for another 4X?
Haven't tested, but I guess those are good games. Never got that many likes in a TPU post before (not even in the cat thread with a cat pic) :D

Have yet to check but Humankind didn't get great feedback. Making a great 4X is hard.

Correct protocol is to self-report the post with a request to unlock editing time limit.
