[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*

TurdFerguson87: It is a direct download. You don't need Steam.

Lexor: When I clicked "get the game" button I got an info "steam link required" (or something like that).
Even if that's the case the actual game is DRM free. If Humble Bundle really does require you to connect a Steam account then you can always just create an account and never use it.

If you oppose it in principle, no.
But it didn't ask me for a Steam account. Had before, and HB support even told me they require linking for any freebie, even if it is DRM free in itself, when I asked once, but it didn't for Tacoma and I tried it again with this one now and was able to just get it. Only requirement was to subscribe to newsletter, which I had already done for Tacoma.
Didn't want to grab this one, just adding another uninteresting game to a library somewhere, but ah well, thought to test...
Do see a steam_api64.dll file there, so not sure if it'll work without it (and on 32-bit, couldn't even test, not that I'd care to install it anyway). But if they say DRM free...

There have been times games on Epic had Steam files. Sometimes Steam has GOG files. The DRM means nothing for standalone games like this one, and Steam has a stock of games like that which work without Steam (yet beneficial with using Steam perks, the "principle" is a non-issue). AFAIK, there should be no such button you're seeing unless you saw it in conflating it with something else. You directly download the game just like you would on GOG.

The only thing on it that has to do with Steam directly in this particular giveaway is a coupon to add the game to your Steam library just for $1.
Minion Masters - Accursed Army Pack DLC is free until May 31 on Steam.

Includes:
3x Bahra the Witchwolf (Legendary)
5x Blastmancer (Supreme)
20x Undying Skeleton
20x Once Bitten
40x Skeleton Horde
5x Power Tokens (Get 5 extra random surprises)
1x exclusive Legendary Accursed Avatar - Animated Nyrvir’s Breath
1x exclusive Legendary Accursed Emote - Animated Haunting Hugger

Also, if you go to this website Celebrating 9 years of development by BetaDwarf you can claim a Steam key for either FORCED or FORCED SHOWDOWN. You can also claim the Minion Masters DLC listed above that way, but why would you?

Quite a bunch I see on itch today. Most due to developer Artifice Machine putting 100% discount on everything.
Then there's Lionel the Guardian.
And then you have Amazing Mazes, Corners 3x4, One Shot, Universal Towers and Wizards of Alamar free again, but may have been for a while.

I think you should try out our game Wizards of Alamar. We have extended our Memorial Day give away for 48 hours.

Not me, not the sort of game I'd have the skills for, even if it wouldn't be advertised as particularly difficult. Plus that constant stream of new content thing, really not something I'd touch regardless of genre, all for having one full game, released complete, with a beginning and an end, that you can reach and say you completed it.
But nice to have another dev here. Looking into submitting anything on GOG too?
