It was not. It's been a paid game for years, but you got the DLC free when you bought it. The developer mentioned many times it was going free, and they did a few giveaways previously. You can see easily on SteamDB going back years how much it cost: https://steamdb.info/app/308600/

Gene Shift Turbo was the previous name and it had a free demo on their page before going to Steam and that demo was in the same free format as this.

Looks like it sold for €12.49 in the past. SteamDB can be used to check price history.

It's been given away for free (a couple of times?). Maybe that's what you're thinking of? I already had it in my library.

I played this game for free outside of Steam for a long time.

I took a step away from emulation as a whole because I see myself using their games as still a win for them even if I got them for free because of stuff like this. I think ppl that really don't like this should consider not being patron in any format and just advocate or showcase other devs that don't take this stance when it comes to ROMs.

Quoting: Guest2. You are too optimistic about the world where we have always-online DRM for singleplayer games.

Yeah but the great thing about that is that you can say fuck you to that game and company and support the DRM FREE ones. It's not that hard to avoid this stuff.

Like I want to game but it's on my terms with my money. I get what I want 100% of the time.

So I tried to get this as a gift for a friend that is into the series but does not have all of the DLC and HB required that I add a phone number and informed that my account had to be reviewed before allowing the purchase. After 2 days I decided to cancel the order and delete the 1x account I made to get this.

First time ever I've been required to provide a phone number for a software purchase ever.

Sounds like a sub service of some sort.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Okay help me out here not being douchy why did you like a service where you have to pay to get the hardware pay to be a member then actually buy the game with craptastic prices

I spent $0.87 on Zombie Army 4: Dead War with their $10.00 coupon when it was on sale. Destiny 2 was free. Played Super Animal Royale for free too. Great gaming.

The problem is the anti cheat and because Stadia was cloud based anti cheat was not needed.

This is why I think every anti-cheat MP game should be cloud based. Leave that software trash off of my tech.

L4D2 is the buggiest game I ever played. Random crashes across various rigs and distros. Oddly enough in offline mode, it never crashes.

There are some itch.io games I should give a spin. I hope they are covered. Beacon stands out.
