Want a free space game?

[Streetwind]

'Cause this is how you get a free space game:

Starpoint Gemini 2 and one of its DLCs is currently 100% off on Steam. I think the promotion expires really soon, like in an hour or so? I only learned about it myself just now through a friend.

Go get it while it's hot

Thanks!

I've never even heard about the game, or the developers, which I'm kind of embarrass to admit considering the fact that I, apparently, pass by their headquarters twice every day.

Woow! Awesome gottapropablycheckitout

Hmm, it said the free offer ended today at 10am Pacific time, but I just snagged it for free when I got home at 3:30 PT

8pm Eastern time - Still free!

Do you mean the game FreeSpace? Or a free "outer space" game?

I get the sense it's the latter.

It is fascinating - they seem to have a business adavantage from giving away free stuff. But for the last x times anyone gave something away for free, I only heard about it after is was over.

Didn't spot the free DLC at the time but went back and had a look at the DLC section for the game, and the free DLC is still available - seems to be the campaign for the original game remade in the new engine so essentially if you took them up on the offer you got two games for free.

Well they did release the next entry in the series 5 days ago, so essentially I'd assume they're hoping the giveaway will act somewhat like a demo and entice you to buy the latest one.

FWIW I generally keep a reasonably close eye on the pcgamer website - their news section does a pretty good job of highlighting giveaways on steam/gog/humble bundle.
