[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 (this one)
- Free (temporary) keys giveaway central topic.
- Updated Itch.io giveaways

Be nice to each other *flies away*

Methinks it should be free now, but it still shows a price of $29.95

Seems there's a glitch on Valve's end. Says 100% off but still $29.99 on check-out

Same shit here. Game appears as "FREE" on search results, but at 74.99 BRL on store page.
Tried via Steam client, restarted client 3 times, cleared client's cache & cookies, nope.
Tried via browser, same results. No dice ... :(

EDIT; just to clarify, this is about Total War: Shogun 2.

From their FAQ:

"When will Total War: SHOGUN 2 free-to-keep be available?

You can download and keep Total War: SHOGUN 2 for free from Monday the 27th of April 2020 from 18:00 BST until the Friday the 1st of May 2020 at 18:00 BST. If you download the game for free during that time, it is yours to keep."

So are we getting this one for free to keep "forever", or just until we delete it?

JakobFel: This.

On another note, does anyone know when Total War: Shogun 2 is supposed to be free? It's the 27th but it's still listed as $30.

It looks like Steam server's quite laggy or was it just a demo in the announcement?

For my understanding it´s the base game (no dlc included).
As several others here and also at steam have stated: steam needs to fix the pricing.
So it´s just a matter of time. :-)

I see. By the way, the end of the discounts was updated instantly, so it seems there are priorities of update :)

Creative Assembly has publicly responded. They are aware of the problem and working to fix it ASAP.
