[This is a sticky post, it will be visible in every single page of this thread. It has been published in October 2020.]

Our moderation team decided not to take a side in the discussion since this giveaway thread was created by the community and, as long as there are no forum rules violated, is up to you, dear Gogers, to decide its fate. We will not set giveaway rules, edit the OP's post, nor lock the whole thread.

However, to make it easier for newcomers to understand the situation (about the OP being inactive and other), I will stick my own post right above the first one.

You are, of course, free to create new threads to start anew and make your own, clear rules. At the same time, please stay reasonable when crating them, as multiple new duplicates might make it even more confusing for many Gogers.

That being said, here you can find a post with dxenija's community poll to have better understanding of the situation: CLICK.

At the time of writing, open giveaway threads are:
- Massive Giveaways Blog (this one)
- Free (temporary) keys giveaway central topic.
- Updated Itch.io giveaways

Be nice to each other *flies away*

Launch the exe file directly without resource hogging DRMs!

However, online multiplayer is disabled.
Too bad Machinarium isn't DRM free on Epic surprisingly.

Cavalary: Doesn't seem to actually be downloadable though. And considering the message that the freebie expired in 2019, may be a mistake that it showed up?

TurdFerguson87: Not a mistake. IG is just utterly broken in a lot of areas while it apparently is still in its era of transformation, whatever that may be. it's a WIP, so there are a lot of rough edges, artifacts left that are dead. Not the giveaway itself. This is still valid and claimable as it is prominently displayed on both the Freebies and Showcase pages. I myself apparently missed the last time it was on giveaway by that date and could claim it this time, as it is prominently dislayed on the Freebies and Showcase pages.

The instruction in the reply above is how you'd download it. The client also suffers from some of the same issues as its tied to the site, but it is mainly now the only thing that is somewhat functional when it comes to downloading things. I don't know what the "collection" button does as nothing appears from that. Also, if you had done so but didn't proceed with the installation, it somehow reverts back to the colleciton button. Don't have to worry about that, but you have to resume and complete both steps to install it anyway.
They seem to have finally sorted some things out. Noticed the newsletters showing up again recently, and now I checked and was able to download Arelite Core in browser, so they fixed that issue, just in case anyone else grabbed it when it was free and then shrugged it off when it couldn't be downloaded normally.
