Steam games for free!

[Lauris Lideks]

Is there anyway how to get Steam games for free?

 

[PCBuilderProbs]

the free to play group on steam would be perfect for you, you can get set up with games like Warframe, Team Fortress 2, and others, but no you can't technically get regular games for free, companies need to make money too.

If You think Steam Games are expensive the you could always do a little searching a get a retail copy of the game for much less..........
Eg: I Got CS:GO for only Rs 465 (around 8$) but on steam it is 14.99$ (around Rs 900).........

Well I do know about this one game where you play as a pirate and it takes place at a bay. It's free 😉

EDIT: Don't do that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We don't talk about pirated software or means of acquiring pirated software.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's my fault. I'll make sure I won't do that in the future ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Check this site, its not free, but good sales and sometimes you just decide what to pay for a bundle of games
> https://www.humblebundle.com/
There are weekly and every two weeks bundles, plus sales like in Steam.
Here, another similiar site

Feh, okay... this one time I will provide a legitimate venue for acquiring free video games and software.

As I just related, it's possible to get the items above for free; however, it's not something an ordinary person can do.

{A} Firstly, Valve has stated that it's willing to give access to free full versions, be they released in the past or future, of games which are house-produced if one is a major contributor and registered/official Debian developer. Getting this position (which, by the way, isn't paid) is immensely difficult and the process can take, at least, 6 months. This assumes you are proficient at programming, typically in C, C++, Perl, Bash, and Python. If, however, you happen to be a kindred spirit of X86_32 and X86_64 Assembly, then, the process will speed up by an unimaginable amount.

{B} Secondly, if you're proficient in programming and you're good at finding, managing, implementing, and documenting glitches and exploits for a game you really like, it's possible to contact them and explain to them your findings. This means bypassing customer support and contacting someone who can actually do something. When they ask you who you are, be honest and tell them half of what you've found (giving them everything will just prompt them to tell you that they're thankful for your assistance; thus, you'll be given "jack-$*!%"). Depending on the quality of the submission, they'll give you a free license for their game. Personally, I've done this many times. Sometimes I find some software/games that I really like and inform the makers of my discoveries. Typically, I end up getting a license; sometimes, though, I end up getting interview offers or job offers. Yes, I've gotten software licenses and/or praise from major companies, including Adobe and Google.

So basically if you get a job at the company you can get free games from them, or learn to program. The free section in Steam is probably just a bit easier to get to. It's like saying the way to get a ride on a NASCAR is to go though the racing circuit, win a lot, get picked up by a NASCAR team and sponsor and there you go, you get to ride in a stock car.

I interpreted the OP to state, "How do I get non-free Steam games for free?" Obviously, you can get free titles available on Steam for free, res ipsa loquitur.

Do not click on this site or use them!

 

[DiegoD]

Check out G2A you can get new titles for much cheaper than what they go for on Steam. After you buy a game on it they give you a code which you enter into Steam to receive and download your game. Most MOBA's are free too, smite and League of legends are two free non steam games.

I wouldn't trust such sites and random people from forums. That trial application from such a site could have virus infected. I highly recommend only to download games through a secure client like Steam or GOG and the like. If you are under budget, then just buy games under discount or sites offering the games for lower price. Be sure to get an activation code, so you can download via Steam etc. Don't waste youe time by playing bad flash games. Never trust anyone!

Ok. First I thought the same. This is the big problem with the internet: we don't know each other in real life, fake profils everywhere.

The reward (steam game itself) is downloadable via stream, so it must be all right (I hope because I've arleady downloaded some). You don't have to download a trial, it's not necessery to earn points, you can get points of watching youtube ads, too. The sites has flashgames like every other flash sites (kongregate for example, develpod by such develpoers like Armorgames),

And some people has only this chance for getting games, because every cent costs.

Thx for not getting upset by my negative comment about your suggestion. I am quite surprised by your mature reply to me. It just represents my experience and knowledge of things like this and what I personally would recommend to do or not to do. I wasn't attacking you personally. I am just against such sites and policy. I can understand going to places like that, if you have a money problem (who doesn't have it?).

 

[s4lv4dor]

No problem, man. I totally agree you in most of the cases. When I was younger I also bought some games for money. There is an age when people are starting to work and has to pay taxes to everything, buy or rent a flat or something. In some countries a $30-40 game is nearly unaffordable compered to the money you get for your work. And there are always some students in the same situation.

The page I linked really works, but I will stay on this site, so if anyone has problems with this page I will be there to answer.

While in general those "take surveys for free" stuff sites are not too harmful, they generally lead to your email address being passed around spammer sites and the sites themselves are often infected with viruses or blatant spyware programs. There is a circle of things that go into earning free stuff, there is no way to know who is paying for what content or what they do with the information you give them.

it's best to keep any iffy sites off the radar of people which is why I removed the post containing the link.

 

[s4lv4dor]

Ok, got it.

So this is why many people are using those sites with virtual computer and not with their main email adress.

Thanks for the suggestions, i'll do the same.

So if someone's still interested I suggest to use the methods above. I don't want anyi trouble, so I won't link that site once more on this forum. I will countine using that but I'll be more caotious.
