Hi
Beneath a Steel Sky is prequel to Beyond a Steel Sky and is free(i guess it was always free)
Hope you enjoy it!

Be aware that this is unintended behaviour and probably linked to a Steam bug. The steam topic mentioning this method was quickly deleted.

So if you don't care about legality, you might as well just use pirate bay to 'install' your games.

What you are probably referring to is its release on Steam to promote the new game, since it has been available for free here on GOG for a long time now. Also, Beyond is a sequel but that does not make Beneath a Steel Sky into a prequel.

Now FREE for a limited time

▪ 20XX: Link
▪ Barony: Link
▪ Superbrothers: Link

Grab them here until next week:

Next week - Wilmots Warehouse

Please note these are all from Epic Games Store.

20XX looks pretty interesting. If you aren't sure what to try, try this:

Like mega man and aciton platformer? 20XX !
Like doom and 8 bit dungeon crawler? Barony !
Like to follow a warrior monk on their 8 bit adventure journey? Superbrothers

20XX is their second game inspired by mega man. This one they fixed bugs and regular update. I heard it on steam and wanted to try it out. I am so glad it is given out free!

20XX is a cool game

Type steam://install/895040 in Internet browser and press Enter. You'll get for free:

Borderzone, a new Indiegala freebie.

Hey, just asking because I don't want to get banned: is this legal to do? I don't want to get my Steam account banned but that game looks really awesome!

No, it is not legal. However, I haven't seen anyone getting banned for it. There is a possibility they'll retract the game from your account though.

Installing games with the steam:// Handler is never illegal or other something.

What you in reality do in this case (and the other game mentioned above) is downloading and installing the client version of the game. It is as illegal as downloading the World of Warcraft client software or any other MMO client.

As both games are in reality games which run on (a) dedicated server(s), you will need to have some authorization to play at all. If the server(s) get shut down, each game will not be playable anymore anyway.

Soulfireu (the first game) is getting shut down anyway soon.

Thanks for your input, both of you. I guess I'll just claim it and if Steam gives me grief, I'll just ask them to remove it from my account in compliance with their rules. Thanks again!

Valiant Hearts free to add to your Uplay account through the Chinese store.

The trick is, you may have to use mobile (or if you're on a computer using a browser such as Firefox, use Responsive Design Mode via Ctrl+Shift+M), and add it from there. That is all there is to it, no need for VPN or anything. Don't worry if you don't get it right away (I didn't), so it might take a while. I'm told this is running through the weekend. It doesn't seem to be region locked, and no other regional store has this offer, but it worked for me.

It's going to be removed from your account, so there is no reason to request it be removed (which you can literally do anyway yourself without sending a long, strongly worded letter). I have some objections generally as a rule to when people promote getting a game through SteamDB because there are times this is not legitimate when a publisher unintentionally leaves this loophole that someone winds up finding and announcing the exploit - unless they have no problem with it. If you don't want to risk getting on Valve's bad side, then I'd advise not following that method.
