I am curious about "free" offers and damned botters stealing them, I'd rather like anyone (not) to get anything than this bad joke again.
Based on reports on reddit, the free game comes in the form of you checking out and instead of having to pay you get the game for free. It also seems to be account locked, so no matter how many times you try, you only have one chance for a freebie per game on offer.
Bummed I missed Betrayal, but picked up Painkiller! Crazy to see how fast these games go!

OldFatGuy: Yeah, as I said, I barely saw it. One friggin minute it was there, the next.... pooof!

IAmSinistar: I went to check the gamecard on it and by the time I got back, Twinsen was there. :)
It's understandable, Betrayal at Krondor is on my top 5 list of all time best games of any genre. And while Betrayal at Antara isn't as good IMO, it's not at all a bad game. Can't go wrong with these two IMO. Only complaint I have is that BaK graphics really really didn't age well. BaA looks fine, but BaK is not made for today's resolutions and big screens. Better off playing it in a small window IMO. It's too bad, because it really is such a great game.

But then again, Wasteland is great too, and it's 1980's graphics.... LOL

I can't keep up, turn your eyes away for a few minutes and there's already a new game on offer! ;-)

So far, a lot faster than the Fall Insomnia Promo.

Maybe they're starting with fewer copies??? I completely missed the fall one.
Crap... missed evil genius.. next time I guess...
How long is this going to go on for? live already bought 4 out of the first 8 games and the only reason l haven't bought Book Of Unwritten Tales is because l already own it! My bank manager will be having a nervous breakdown by the end of this, never mind me!

Yeah, it's quite a bit faster. But then they're starting with smaller batches this time. We've yet to see a game with over 400 copies, and last time they had batches of well over a thousand.

It's still early days, though... we might have that again (especially if they list something really popular).

Not that I know of.

The sale has only just begun though...

Don't forget that there was advance warning for this sale, so people came faster. And also knew what to expect.

I think that last time round they had a list of around 30 games that they cycled through 3 or 4 times. It'll end once that's all done.

I have the opposite of your problem, though. I already own all the games listed so far. Guess it's time to buy gifting copies?

Ahh, thank you, answered my question above too.

Perhaps the first one with a 1000 copies will be Jack Keane......
