    You have to get it from the Sega site (link above) - not Steam.
    It's valid from from 7/21 thru 7/31 so you got plenty of time.

    Thanks, I think I'll pass. It's not just the forced registration; the
    game itself doesn't look particularly good (certainly no better than
    the dozen or so fishing games I already have).

    Huh. I just discovered - I already have the game on Steam (apparently
    I got it as part of some bundle). Well, I wouldn't have gotten it from
    this offer anyway. ;-)

    Yeah, thanks Ant but I will pass as well. I don't feel like
    registering for a game I won't play. I have been spoiled by all the
    easy to get freebies I guess.

    I understand that feeling of owning a game you had no idea you owned.

    I should do this too, but I'm lazy. Actually, is there a way to export

    This came up a few months ago.

    For Steam, go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/ *
    gives you a full list. You can then highlight the results, then copy
    'n' paste them into a spreadsheet without too much difficulty. It's surprisingly straight-forward.


    GOG has a similar list on the website, but it isn't as easy to export.
    A 'proper' export feature has been on the GOG wishlist for some years.
    There are some tools - https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/fwmx5p/export_your_entire_collection_on_gog_galaxy_20_to/
    or https://github.com/Varstahl/GOG-Galaxy-HTML5-exporter but these are third-party and untested; use at your own risk.


    I dunno (or, honestly, care) enough about the other services to find
    out but presumably there must be a way with them too ;-)


    Alternately, many third-party tools that combine your video-game
    libraries into a single app - such as Playnite - offer an export
    feature. Essentially, you import all your games into Playnite https://playnite.link, then export the library as a .CSV file.

    Nonetheless, even though I myself have been using Playnite for years,
    I can totally understand why giving an some random app you downloaded
    from the internet access to your Steam/GOG/Epic/etc. accounts can be
    unnerving. It still makes me nervous! But it works. ;-)

    That is a good point. It might be a good idea to use a spam email or

    Sega won't give out the free keys until August so you can't use those 10 minutes emails.
