[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*

phandom: Ehem, it's been on the house for more than a year......

See here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/free_temporary_keys_giveaway_central_topic/post1974
That was a year ago. So someone like me that hasn't been paying attention to these free games until recently wouldn't have it nor know, and not that it would matter cause i couldn't get it until the On the House game changed.

But thanks for letting me know something was free a year ago.

Next time try or [url=https://www.gog.com/forum/general/ninja_giveaway_20]here. It's very kind to give games away, but this is not the place.

Actually, acccording to the OP it is:
"Since it is getting a bit crowded here is one central topic for free (temporary) keys giveaways.
Also feel free to post/share any spare keys for those that don't have Facebook or missed it. "

gvyop: What do you think about china trojan in free games and giveaways. Not onlu chinese's ones although.
Could you catch it if your AV do not list it as it does not list rdp and as games install are usely openibg firewall rules ?

TheNerdyPlane: Read the Summary at the bottom if you don't want to read the really long bit!
1 - Steam, GOG, Origin, UPlay etc probably wont have viruses. Origin and Uplay are owned by and only have games that are made by Electronic Arts and Ubisoft. Steam is big enough to filter through its games as they are uploaded and make sure there are no viruses, and GOG mainly specialises in well known games, and they don't get well known by giving you viruses. So any games that are free from there (Steams promotions like the recent Payday 2, GOG's front-page promotions like Fantasy General, Origin's On The House Deals, and UPlay's Christmas giveaway are all safe.

2 - IndieGala, Humble Bundle giveaways, MarvelousGA etc giveaways deal in manly steam keys, so treat that as above. As long as you don't download anything from those sites to unlock the Steam key, you'll be fine.

3 - Game Giveaway of the Day... probably no viruses. I haven't used it, so don't take my word. Although it's probably fine, I heard it is bundled with ad-ware, which may contain viruses, but are most likely just Potentially Unwanted Programs. As long as you un-tick the other 'goodies' that it comes with, it should be fine!

4 - Softonic, CNET, Download . com etc. DO NOT GO THERE, they offer free programs, but are almost always bundled with PuP's, and even commonly viruses. A mate of mine broke his computer by downloading Minecraft for free from Softonic. They had to get a new one. True story.

Summary:
If the games is a promotion from a well known game platform, game developer website, it is almost 100% risk free. If it is a giveaway from a bundle site that offers steam keys, it is almost 100% risk free as long as you don't have to download anything else to get the key. GGOTD is safe, but untick the unwanted stuff. Similar sited to GGOTD may also be safe to, as long as you untick the other stuff, and Google about it first. Pirate sites are not safe. If your AV has picked up a trace a virus, Google it - it's better safe than sorry!
Still amazed Softonic are still on the go. Surprised no one's gone all legal against them.

Yeah, but if they go against Softonic, they will also have to go against every other pirate distribution place.

Possibly, but perhaps one at a time would help too.
But I've never seen one so publicly advertised as Softonic is.

Well, what about CNET?

Them too I guess, but any time I search for software online, Softonic is the one I see the most.
Perhaps I've managed to avoid Cnet, for now... ;)
