yyahoo: In English, it states "Grab Amnesia: The Dark Descent for Free until Wednesday at 10AM Pacific". I think the idea that it is a permanent addition to your Steam game catalog is true.
Yeah, the german translation is wrong.

MarkoH01: I still would say so if I read this:

"Spielen Sie Amnesia: The Dark Descent gratis bis Mittwoch um 19 Uhr MEZ! "

It says "play for free until ... " and not "get it for free until ..." but maybe you have already tried it and I am dead wrong here?

Argh! It does not display this on the opening page (small window to the right) and I never went to the store page to see if they have written more on it. So you are right and I apologize for making things more complicate than they are :)

No need for an apologize. It was not the first time the german translation was wrong (but the last times they fixed it).
will there be a third round?

XYCat: will there be a third round?
According to the news article "The Indie Piñata promo will last until 9/18/2015, 9:59AM GMT." So I would say there will not be a third round.

MarkoH01: In case you did not know - keep in mind that Blackwell Epiphany is the last part og the Blackwell games (Blackwell Bundle here on GOG). Hot Tin Roof afaik is sort of an noir action adventure with a very interesting artstyle. Was looking to get it via Pinata but had no luck.
I'm aware of the Blackwell series, but thanks for the info nonetheless. I'm sure the bundle will present itself until I run out of other games to play. :) Ah, a shame about Hot Tin Roof - I don't have a code.

a weekend encore would actually make sense but maybe they'll just stop the pinatas with this round

If I understood you correctly you are saying that you have not bought the Pinata as a gift and so you have no (gift)code? If this is the case you can still ask support to change it to a gift code if you like. I would certainly buy it from you for 3€ or trade it for a game from my tradelist. But maybe I just misunderstood and you did not even win the game?

I know, sorry for being opaque. I treated the Pinata thing as a gamble and accepted that I would be stuck with whatever I'd get. Given that, it would leave a bad aftertaste to now go back and have the ones I wasn't looking for exchanged. Also, I might still be surprised and come to like them, after all.

MarkoH01: Just until wednesday so no real loss until you are not a very fast gamer ;)

Ritualisto: No, it is free forever. Just add it to your game library on shop page before the offer ends (no need to install it). It is not a "free weekend game" (I guess you think of this).
Well, its free assuming they let you have access to it.

I got Consortium and Hot Tin Roof this time. Pretty average. Haven't been that enthusiastic about this sale.

What did you mean with "assuming they let you have access to it"?

If the DRM lets you play it. ;P
Hate gambling, but decided to give it a try, since I wouldn't buy any of this indy games otherwise,

(was so afraid to get Terraria or Amnesia)

got Shadoowgate, hope it's good.
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I didn't see it in the OP.

I just got Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut.

That would be the 25th game in this round then, since only 24 had been posted so far.
