[This is a sticky post, it will be visible in every single page of this thread. It has been published in October 2020.]

Our moderation team decided not to take a side in the discussion since this giveaway thread was created by the community and, as long as there are no forum rules violated, is up to you, dear Gogers, to decide its fate. We will not set giveaway rules, edit the OP's post, nor lock the whole thread.

However, to make it easier for newcomers to understand the situation (about the OP being inactive and other), I will stick my own post right above the first one.

You are, of course, free to create new threads to start anew and make your own, clear rules. At the same time, please stay reasonable when crating them, as multiple new duplicates might make it even more confusing for many Gogers.

That being said, here you can find a post with dxenija's community poll to have better understanding of the situation: CLICK.

At the time of writing, open giveaway threads are:
- Massive Giveaways Blog
- Free (temporary) keys giveaway central topic. (this one)
- Updated Itch.io giveaways

Be nice to each other *flies away*

Epic Games:

Turmoil - Link

Turmoil is a cute mining simulator game set in the 1900s.
You have to become the biggest oil tycoon in this world (assuming America).
For anyone's curiosity, this period is also known as Manifest Destiny in American history.
It was when the idea of the American Dream was sprouted in American culture.
Anyways, back to the game.
Play the campaign mode and face your computer oil rivalry.
Drive them out of business to gain monopoly over oil.
You need to upgrade your mining equipment to make your mining extraction efficient.
Maximize your profits with natural gas to bump up the oil price.
Manage the storage warehouse for your oil.
And outbid your competition at the auction for more resources.
This game allows anyone to be immersed into the nature of capitalism.
You may not be American, but you can still achieve the American Dream!

If computer rivals are not satisfying, this game has local and online multiplayer modes!

Features single player, multiplayer and online.

A brief summary from the developers:
Drill for oil like it's 1899! Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America.

Hello,

I'm newly registered on Epic's site,

It seems to me, that all of those games are online games, and in many cases you just get additional content/items, is that correct, or are there exceptions?

Generally Epic gives always free games and content that are accessible on another stores also (except some exclusives like Fortnite).

On the other hand, if you are new to Epic, they do give weekly free game every Thursday like drxenija posted - current one being Turmoil.

Thank you for the information, I'm specifically interested in the list hwich doesn't change every week or so; looking around, I only found content for "free" online games with additional paid content so far. Are all of those games like this, or do they also have "classic single player games"? (I'm not referring to that "periodical giveaway" mentioned below.)

Yes, got that, and because of such a game I registered in the first place.

Another question: how do I download games I got that way? I don't even see a list what I already own there. (Via web browser or similar, no "app" or "launcher" for Windows.)

Thanks in advance for enlightening me…

Epic, even more than other sites, is really client centric.

Since I do not use GUI clients anywhere, here is what I do for epic:
1) To see owned games on the website --- I go to account => transactions
2) To download & install games --- I use the legendary command line tool (https://github.com/derrod/legendary/tree/master)

You need to intal the Epic Games Launcher to be able to instal the games you have claimed. It is very basic launcher but it does the job. You cannot see you games from the site that easly very similar to how steam works(only the transactions are visible in the settings).

Thank you, I already had found and installed "legendary", I just thought there must be a way to download "offline" installers via web browser, like you can do on GOG or Indiegala.

I personally don't like those clients permanently spying on the player (and I won't let them do that to me in exchange for "achievements"), on Steam, for example, I use the client for downloads and test-starts only, for example.

I accepted a "friend request" on GOG recently, and now I get notifications about almost everything the other person does on "GOG Galaxy".

On Steam I've set everything I could to "private" and turned off that other "security" thing they want you to use. That prevents me also from posting on their site.

Thanks, there's a third party solution for offline downloads ("legendary," see other posts), I just couldn't believe that there is no way to "just download files" with your browser.

I use Gogrepoc for GOG, SteamCMD for Steam, Legendary for Epic. I have looked at Nile for Amazon, but haven't tried it yet, since I do not own any Amazon games.

Thank you for telling me this, I didn't know about these before, and will have a look at them (also no need for Amazon here).
