[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*

See, this is why I love Bethesda so much. Because ZeniMax owns so many studios, we always get awesome freebies when they do events like E3 and QuakeCon. For a person like me who likes pretty much everything that Bethesda publishes (I haven't played The Evil Within, though, because I'm not a huge horror fan), QuakeCon is always something I look forward to enjoying.

Bethesda gets such a bad rap, IMO.

Stupid question, but you don't have to INSTALL Quake during the weekend, right? The game is in your acct for good?

From what I understand, They're giving out Quake II because they received at least $10,000 in charitable donations, and Quake III because they received at least $20,000 in charitable donations. You have to link your Bethesda.net account to your Twitch account, and you have to watch Bethesda's Twitch stream for at least 10 minutes during QuakeCon. They already gave out Quake just for watching the stream for at least 10 minutes, and I already received the game. Quake II and Quake III are supposed to be given out after QuakeCon ends, and AFAIK you don't have to install the game to be able to keep it forever.

I can already see the downvotes coming but I have to say it - registering for not one but two services to get 3 games that are decades old, were mostly famous for having great graphics for the time (now outdated, obviously), are distributed with drm through a launcher that has little other use on a platform that has much higher chance of disappearing than general distributors like Steam or GOG... When discounted, together they cost 10 euros here, on GOG. The loops one has to jump through to get something for free. Technically a giveaway. But you do pay. With your time and personal information.

finkleroy: From what I understand
I got the logistics of what they were aiming for, I just got the news elsewhere that presented it as if they'd shifted the donation goal and just skipped Quake II entirely. If that's not the case, I have no issue being wrong in my understanding of it.

Down voted! 3 of the best fps ever made are on offer for free and you can build them from source if Bethesda's launcher offends you. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

I totally agree with you. I won't deal with Bethesda incompetence, lack of respect of my time, and hypocrisy - 20.000 $ is nothing to them. If you had an interest in the Quake games you probably own them by now. I'd rather see fairer prices here on GOG than these fake giveaways - that are promotion for their useless client.

It's pretty sad that the modern gamer has to make a big stink out of everything related to companies like Bethesda instead of just being grateful that they're giving the games out to people who haven't had the chance to play them.

I mean, regardless of whether you like Bethesda or not, the fact that they're doing that is cool. It's ridiculous that people can't just learn to be grateful for things. Actually no, it's not just ridiculous, it's pretty pathetic as well. You know who does that? Spoiled, rich children under the age of 12.

OT1H I agree that having to sign up for accts and launchers is a PITA, but OTOH nobody's forcing anyone to do anything. It's not like your gvmt is ordering you to sign up for things or give info away. Everyone can do as they please.

I already got a Beth acct for the Morrowind giveaway they had last year, and I signed up for IO recently... don't remember why. I didn't have to link the accts or watch anything, I just dug out the Beth launcher, logged in, and saw Q1 already in my acct.

I've never played any of the Q games, don't know if I will now, even getting them free. I may never play them, but like Jakob said, I see no reason to complain. I dislike all the launchers and accts I have because I don't maintain a list of what I have where, so I can discover I own games I'd forgotten I had. On the plus side, I can discover I own games I'd forgotten I had.

yes, I'm a spoiled 12 yo. i also don't want their client and if they really want to do a ga they can gift the game on Steam or better GOG, and stop making cost games on GOG as double as on Steam. See Dishonored currently on "sale" for 7 € on GOG and 2.99 € on Steam. They are clowns.
I've bought the Quake games here, and if I want to play Arx Fatalis, it's 1,49 € on GOG.

And yes, they are big hypocrites with these 20.000 $ of donation tiers when they make this money in minutes. They could donate their own money for charity.

Android:
Sort of Master of Orion 2 mobile clone
Uciana

Dungeon crawling RPG, good reviews but one complaining it's grindy
Mistery of Fortune 2 (appears as MoF 2 on your phone, I was like where is the game)

If you don't want their client, that's fine, it's entirely your choice. Just don't complain about getting free games... furthermore, they've donated several million already, they were merely using this as a platform to raise funds for charities beyond what they've already donated.

Bethesda's not perfect but man, people give them so much grief for no real reason. Gamers today are spoiled, entitled brats and it's disgusting. They could literally donate all of their profit for the year to children's charities and people would still find something to whine about.
