Quoting: GuestTrying to remember whether the free games had always been tied to 'accepting to receive marketing spam'... I think it wasn't.

Yeah, a little annoying, but nothing stopping you from unsubscribing afterwards either.

I don't think I played any games first released in the last ten years, let alone this year... :whistle:

For anyone who is interested though I keep a list on my icculus.org account of every game I have played since I graduated High School:

Yeah, it is definitely not the best price point considering the Baldur's Gate games from Beamdog are 70%-80% off right now.

Happy to have it in my Wishlist though.

Will give it a go if it comes to GOG.com certainly.

Half the time I try a giveaway I find the game is already in my library. :whistle:

Humble is just Steam with extra steps...

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: HamishGreat time for my GPU to have suddenly quit on me isn't it?

Jokes on them though, with the drought eating into my bottom line I could not afford to replace it regardless of the market conditions. Yay me! :grin:

Why does drought eat into your bottom line?

Farmer maybe ????

That's the obvious possibility, but when I started thinking about it there were a surprising number of others. Might sell supplies farmers use, might just be in a community where farmers set the economy, or it might be something quite different. I read about a once major lake in the US that has shrunk down to tiny in the last number of years, all the boat docks are standing over cracked dried mud, fishing is done for, and the tourist trade has gone to nothing.
Or he could have a small privately owned hydroelectric dam. No water, no electricity, no moolah. :grin:

Sorry to disappoint Purple Library Guy but pete910 was closer to the truth. In my case it was my having to feed my sheep through the summer and fall due to the grass not growing and then having to pay a premium for my usual winter feed for both the sheep and the cows. Even chicken food prices are through the roof right now.

Quoting: pete910LGP activated there games on steam when they shutdown, It's how I got x3:r on steam. Don't quite remember how though :dizzy:

That was not LGP but Egosoft directly that put the Linux versions up on GOG.com and Steam. Good lads.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnd now Voodoo 3s fetch a huge price because they can be used in Amigas...

Also classic PC enthusiasts. On the other hand, part of the reason I got my Rage 128 Pro for reasonably cheap is that Rage cards are somewhat negatively associated with old Macs.

Quoting: gbudnyCan you take more pictures of Quake games? I have the box version of Quake 2 for Linux, but it's still in the shrink wrap. I don't want to unpack it.

I collected a few more I took on my phone at the time:

Barring that, I do not want to take them out of storage again right now.
