  • FREE GAME: Tell Me Why

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 4 16:57:57 2023
    This one has been free for a few days; I don't know if how long the
    offer is going to last (or if its permament) but better grab it sooner
    rather than later.

    A side-story to the "Life is Strange" franchise, this adventure game
    again features the episodic gaming, the supernatural, young adults and
    lots of teenage angst. It's probably not to everyone's taste, but more
    power to you if this is what you like; anyway, it's free and that
    earns a lot of forgiveness. Anyway, more games is more good.

    Yeah. Saw this (you got here first) and already had it. Apparently they
    can't even give the game away.

    The game was offered as a freebie back in 2022, which is when you
    probably snagged it the first time. But - according to Steamdb.info*,
    it then went back to full price until May 4th this year. So there's no guarantee it will stay free forever.

    (Mind you, the previous free offer last almost a year, so there's
    probably no rush. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry. I mean,
    why pay for a game you don't want when you can get that same game you
    don't want for free? ;-)

    Exactly. After offering it free for a year, how much sales revenue could
    they have generated on the full price product? I think they may be
    releasing a new game soon, and this a move to generate buzz for it.

    Either that or someone's "talented," nepotism hired, possibly inbred
    nephew is running their marketing.
