The following game is currently free to claim on steam. You can claim it and play it later (or never)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/...

Thanks. Are you somehow affiliated with it?

@Lensflare Nope, but it looks like a fun game and it's estimated to be sold between 800k & 2mil copies so probably a pretty good game. Free games are always nice in this economy :D

Hmm... I'm always skeptical of the 'free' stuff.

@D-4got10-01 It seems that the developer announced the Graveyard Keeper 2 yesterday so I guess this is marketing stunt....But it's a free game you can claim & play :)

@wojtek322 Could be a nice gesture, sure. Since you've mentioned a sequel being released, I can actually see them attempting to get more players introduced to the sequel by providing them w/ the taste of the original.

@D-4got10-01 seems indie devs on steam get contacted to hand over their IP for another company to "take over" (usually for a reimbursement of the 100$ steam listing fee lol)

but what happens is they ask for the login for your account and then they reupload a different exe and infect everyone with malware (they also don't change the name of the developer or publisher on the game, so you're left with the reputational damage)

probably not what's happening here but who knows

@jestdotty Good point.

> 'seems indie devs on steam get contacted to hand over their IP for another company to "take over"'.

This actually reminds me of what happened to the original 'Fallout' && 'Fallout 2' releases on GOG.com years ago. IIRC Bethesda acquired the IP / original dev studio or something like that, so the games were scheduled to be delisted && they did a special promo giving the games away for free or something. It's been so long ago I can barely remember the details, though.
