How to play games on steam for free. A way to get all the free games on Steam at once. Script to automatically add all free Steam games

Have you accumulated more than one hundred skins in CS:GO? Do you have a bunch of collectible cards on Steam? You can make money on these things! To do this, you do not have to leave your computer and be distracted from your favorite game for a long time - the process, on the contrary, will become even more exciting. In this article, we will analyze how to make money on Steam.

All types of earnings in Steam (Steam) can be divided into five groups:

  • trade game items;
  • account trading;
  • bets in sweepstakes;
  • game trade;
  • completing tasks.

And before we move on to the analysis of each option, a little background information.

Steam is both playground, and online service. Here, gamers compete in various popular cyber disciplines such as Dota 2 and CS: GO and buy almost any licensed PC games and some programs.

The service is visited daily by more than 10 million people. With such a large audience, it can be used not only for entertainment, but also for making money.

Only, unlike the usual market, they sell not tomatoes and cucumbers, not jeans and T-shirts, but a very specific product: gifts, collectible cards, skins, CS sticker capsules, profile backgrounds, emoticons, gems, etc. On this, and not only - many users make money.

How and where to start?

If you are not connected in any way with Steam and computer games, you will have to invest both money and time in this service. And the latter is much more. Let's deal with the installation of the service and account activation.

1. We go to the official website of the gaming community: http://store.steampowered.com/?l=russian

2. Click the "Download Steam" button at the top.

3. Click "Install" on the next page.

4. A standard installer will download to your computer. Launch it and follow simple instructions inside.

5. Run the program. Click "Create a new account".

6. We go through registration, which also consists of several simple steps: create a nickname and password, confirm your email address and phone number.

Entry threshold

So, a Steam account has been created, but that's not all. The service does not activate the account until $5 is credited to it. This is the threshold of entry, which leaves behind the gates not the poor, but the swindlers.

Five bucks can be spent in two ways:

  • transfer this amount to your Steam wallet;
  • buy one or more games.

It’s better to just deposit money into the wallet, they will come in handy in the future. After that, the account will be activated, but some functions will still be unavailable - more on that later.

Crediting money to the Steam wallet

There are several ways to transfer money to the Steam virtual wallet:

  • through Qiwi terminals;
  • through the service itself, using electronic accounts or bank cards.

In the first case, you need:

  1. find a terminal in your city,
  2. find on the terminal in the Steam payments section,
  3. enter your account name and transfer the required amount.

Consider also the method of transferring funds through Steam.

1. Launch the gaming service.

2. Click on the button with the account name in the upper right and select "About account".

3. Click "Top up balance".

4. Choose one of several suggested amounts and click "Top up balance". $5 is, if anything, about 304 rubles, so 300 rubles may not be enough to activate an account.

5. We decide on the payment method and transfer money to the Steam wallet.

In the window with options for replenishing the wallet, there is also a button "Wallet code or gift card».

It may come in handy in the future, when making money through sites with tasks.

Types of items that can be traded

Trading items is the most common way to make money on Steam. There are a lot of various in-game and in-service items here. They can be divided into three groups:

  • cards,
  • skins,
  • other collectibles.

Cards

Trading cards on Steam are items that drop from certain games. To get them, you just need to play. The cards bring an experience to the user when he collects them into icons. However, there is a catch: you can only “knock out” three or four cards on your own, the remaining two or three need to be bought or exchanged for the badge. This is where the business starts.

Common cards cost up to ten rubles, but there are also many rare ones, the price of which is more than a hundred. Foil Cards stand apart - cards with a metal rim. They drop out extremely rarely, which means they are usually higher.

Cards can only be obtained in certain games. However, there are a lot of them, and it will not be difficult to find them.

1. Click "Store".

2. Click on the search bar, do not enter anything there and press "Enter".

3. On the side we find the filter "By characteristics" and check the box "Collectible cards".

The search will display all the games through which you can get cards.

Skins are external skins for objects in games. Modified weapons will not shoot better, and the character will not run faster, but other gamers will envy the beautiful appearance. Skins also drop out randomly in games, only the conditions for them to drop out are more complicated and there are many more of them. But some of them can cost more than $1000.

The highest demand and the highest price for skins in CS: GO and Dota 2. Therefore, most sellers specialize in these two games. Other prices are usually lower.

You can view and compare prices for items as follows.

1. Hover over the drop-down menu "Community", select "Marketplace".

2. In the menu on the right, select the game that interests us.

On a note: it is more convenient to do these things in the browser. You can't open many tabs in the Steam app, and you will have to navigate through them often.

Other

There are many more collectibles that can also be sold and exchanged:

  • capsules with stickers for CS: GO and the stickers themselves;
  • profile backgrounds;
  • emoticons from games;
  • gems.

Among them all, there are both those that cost less than a dollar, and those whose cost reaches thousands of bucks.

Let's figure out how to trade these pixel sets.

Card trading. Step one: purchase

Cheap cards

Let's start on the condition that we have just registered with the service. This means that you have to wait 30 days before making your first money on the Steam marketplace. So much time must pass from the moment of the first purchase to get full access to the market.

First, we buy games so that this period begins to count down. However, you need to know what to buy. Not all toys are suitable for collecting cards. We need those whose cost is less than the total cost of the cards. For example, a game costs 20 rubles, and a few dropped cards can be sold for 30 or 40 rubles.

You can find such games using this site: steam.tools/cards/ . The algorithm is the following:

1. We go to the Steam store. We set the filters "Games" and "Collectible cards", as well as sorting in ascending order of price (it's better to do this in the browser, and not through the application).

2. Open a website with a table of games.

3. We correlate the price of the game with the approximate cost of the card (column Card Avg in the table). Based on this, we buy the cheapest games with cards as expensive as possible.

To get started, just purchase a few games to spend the $5 required for activation. The main thing is that the total cost of the cards exceeds the cost of the game.

Now these 30 days can be spent usefully - knocking out cards from games. It is not at all necessary to knock them out on your own - then you will have to spend 8–10 hours behind each game. For this purpose, many programs have been created, the most convenient and proven: Idle Master.

Automatic card collection

1. We go to the office. utility website: steamidlemaster.com. Click the "Download now" button.

2. The archive will be loaded, which we unpack.

3. Run IdleMaster.exe. The program will require you to log into your Steam account to continue working - click "Sign in".

5. In the settings, select "Run each game separately."

6. We start. We are waiting for the utility to check each game in turn.

From the game can fall from about three to seven cards. By simple mathematical calculations, we get: the sum of the cards is more than the cost of the game - we are in the black. You will be especially lucky if a Foil Card falls out.

They can cost more than usual at times and fall out very rarely. However, if you constantly farm like this (farm - perform actions in games to gain benefits: level up, earn money, points, items), then you will definitely be lucky - the probability increases.

Expensive cards

Things are more complicated with cards that cost from 50 rubles or more: they should be bought on the trading floor. It is necessary to guess the moment when the price of such an item will be at a minimum level. If there are less than ten cards, their prices begin to rise very quickly. Everything here is like on the stock exchange - sometimes you have to wait a couple of months to successfully sell such a card.

Conditions for a successful purchase on the rare card market:

  • no more than ten such cards;
  • the price is now in a period of decline (this can be viewed using a special chart by clicking on the icon with the item);

  • the demand for it also falls.

Buying through bots

If the 30-day period has passed, and you have access to the store, you can buy cards automatically. The Steam Trader Helper will help you with this. The utility is a browser extension. It just needs to set what we want to buy and the purchase price. She will automatically start buying it from the Steam Market.

Installation

2. Select the "Settings" section.

3. In the "Connections" item, we link the account to Steam.

4. Find the desired video on the portal.

Now, when watching match streams, even in the background, you will have a chance to get some items for free and then it is possible to earn money on them in Steam. The chance is low and depends on how many people watch the stream. At 50,000 spectators, about 1,000 item chests drop per game. Of these, 10-15 are really valuable. On the forums, players sometimes brag about getting a souvenir worth 2000 rubles.

Operations

Operations are campaigns in CS: GO that must be completed online. They consist of several missions. At the end of each mission, the player can receive a skin.

Sometimes these are extremely rare skins, the cost of which is more than several thousand rubles. Each transaction must be purchased. They cost about 400 rubles, so they don’t always “pay off”, although real gamers don’t care much.

In CS: GO and Dota 2, it is possible to create weapons and some other items on your own. To do this, you also need to collect various things in the game and make modified skins based on them. In addition to collecting, using the workshop (Steam Workshop), you can generally make unique weapon skins and various modifications.

Crafting in CS: GO and weapon qualities

In Counter Strike: Global Offensive, weapon skins are divided into several types:

  • hardened in battles (Battle-Scarred);
  • worn (Well-Worn);
  • slightly worn (Minimal Wear);
  • after field tests (Field-Tested);
  • from the factory (Factory New);
  • the best level is contraband, but few people encounter it.

No, your AK-47 won't shoot better or worse because it's battle-hardened or just released. Only the cosmetic component undergoes changes. However, such differences in skins also lead to differences in prices, and the different state of the gun affects crafting recipes.

Crafting in "Contra" is a combination of several types of weapons to get one, more rare. The rarity is determined by the color of the inscription, here are all of them in ascending order:

  • white,
  • light blue,
  • Navy blue,
  • Violet,
  • pinkish purple,
  • red.

Accordingly, we use white trunks for crafting - we get light blue ones. The ability to craft something appears in the game inventory after ten guns of the same rarity level are collected. The opportunity will come in the form of an exchange contract - a single item in unlimited quantities.

1. Open the exchange contract.

2. Choose ten types of weapons.

3. Press the "Exchange" button.

4. Leave your autograph.

5. Click "Submit".

After that, instead of ten, one new weapon will be obtained.

Crafting blindly is not very profitable. Fortunately, many sites have recipes for successful crafting that allow you to get really rare things. But the authors of the posts warn: the player himself is responsible for crafting. There is a 60-70% chance of getting the stem promised in the recipe. In other cases, you can end up with much less rare weapons. Here are a couple of recipe pages:

  • forum of Na'Vi, a famous team: http://forum.navi-gaming.com/cs_go_oruzie/kontrakt_-kraft-_oruziya_counter-strike_global_offensi/
  • site dedicated to CS: GO: https://csgo.gs/recepty-oruzhij-i-krafta-ks-go/

Tip: first check the cost of the item you receive and the total cost of the items to craft, so as not to take risks for the sake of losing money.

Weapons can be improved 1.5, 2, 5, 10 times. Accordingly, the price will increase by the same amount. This is done on a special site: https://upgrade.gg/.

Management is extremely simple (do not forget to log in to Steam):

  • we move the cheaper item from the inventory (it is below) to the left window;
  • choose the improvement factor;
  • click Upgrade Skin.

After that, you will either get a new, more expensive weapon, or you will be left without the one you wanted to improve. The method of earning is quite good and allows you to increase their cost several times with a large number of cheap items. The main thing is a certain amount of luck.

This method is very profitable. At the same time, it is easier to understand it than selling cards and other items. The whole point boils down to the fact that the user simply purchases games with discounts. When games accumulate a large number of, an account can be sold, allowing another gamer to save money on buying games, and earn money himself.

This way of earning requires financial investments and time. It makes little sense to buy games for 15 rubles, which no one will need later. It is better to make a list of good games and, following it, buy, for example, shooters, RPGs or the entire GTA series and its clones. You will have to spend at least 1000 rubles. The more you invest, the greater the benefit. There are players who received from 1000 rubles to 5000-6000.

If finances allow, it is convenient to maintain several such accounts at once in order to grow an amount two to three times more in one period. Especially if you accumulate a lot of games on account, not everyone will be able to buy it then.

Sales

It is better to buy toys during large sales. These take place in the middle of summer, autumn and before the new year. At this time, in addition to the general price reduction, various promotions can be carried out, for example, a strong markdown for just one day. You need to take advantage of the moment.

Keys

This way of filling the account with games at first glance is the most profitable. Keys - sets of characters, after entering which in the Steam (shown in the picture above) the game gets. They cost less than the games themselves if you buy them through the service. However, there are many scammers among merchants: they can slip a key that does not work or opens access to the wrong game. Therefore, looking for a good site with keys is always a risk.

Greetings! Steam is… If you are reading this text, then you know what Steam is. Therefore, I will not describe the service - everything is already in the subject. And who is not in the subject, he does not need it. Getting games for free on Steam without any investment is quite simple.

How to raise money on Steam? This question arises for many who have already merged a hundred or two dollars on games. I bring to your attention ways to make money in Steam and get really high-quality products. Stop feeding Gabe, he's already full. And we will need new toys in the household.

Getting free games on Steam

You can find almost everything on the Internet. Anyone who doesn't think so is probably just looking badly. There are special resources (blogs, forums, groups in social networks), where they provide information about the distribution of games. Type in Google "Steam Freebie" - and you will see a lot of interesting things.

What is a distribution? These are paid games that are given away for free, for certain actions (like, subscribe to a channel, retweet, etc.). Usually on Steam, these products cost between $1 and $10. Well, we get it for free.

Sometimes they give out frank trash and slag, it happens that good games at the price of $20. So, for example, the author of this material recently received Shadow Warrior ($19.99) and Dirt 3 Complete Edition ($17.99) without spending a penny. Of course, goodness is rarely handed out, more often - trash. However, the last option suits us not for the game, but for profit.

Cards

Collectible cards are virtual cards that appear in the user's profile when he has spent a certain time in the game. After collecting the required number of cards, you can open the icon - and get experience. Experience boosts Steam level and CHSV.

Steam is a convenient gaming platform. But it has already turned into a kind of social network. A lot of "buns" and opportunities for users. So, collectible cards can be sold on the marketplace in the service.

Gamers are strange people. They are willing to pay for an imaginary rating and useless pictures that disappear after receiving the badge. Our goal is to get these cards and sell them safely.

Farm cards

We farm cards by starting the game, or using special programs (for example, Idle Master). I recommend an automated solution. Why with software? It takes a lot of time to do it manually, especially when there are hundreds of games in the library. Don't worry, you won't have to. However, everyone decides for himself - how and what to do.

Knocked out cards. We put them up for sale. You should not dump everything at once at the lowest price - a fairly common mistake for beginners in this business. Make monitoring of prices (fortunately Steam allows), choose an adequate cost - and implement it.

Good games on Steam for free

Gradually, your Steam wallet begins to fill up. But do not rush to empty it. The service very often arranges sales. Real sales, not discount capes, as many practice. That is, really good games are sold for mere pennies.


We choose the moment - and stock up on goodness for the proceeds from the sale of cards from free games. In most cases, purchased products also have cards that sell successfully. It turns out that such is the circulation of virtual funds in Steam.

Do you want to enjoy a new interesting computer game, but do not want to pay money for it? Contrary to the well-known saying that free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap, this is quite real. So how do you get games on Steam for free? Consider the most common and legal ways.

Social media raffle

To promote their own publics and communities on VKontakte and other social networks, many businessmen organize prize draws. By subscribing to the group, liking or reposting, you have a chance to get a game, console or headset.

Most of the opportunities to take the game for free are provided by large communities with more than 500 thousand subscribers.

To prevent your account from being “weeded out” as fake, you must fulfill the following conditions:

  • use your real first and last name;
  • upload a real photo to your account - images of animals, birds and fairy-tale characters are not allowed.

Winning competitions

Experienced gamers can try their luck in various contests organized in the same social networks and on the websites of popular gaming magazines. For example, to participate in such a competition, you need to write an article reviewing the game, a walkthrough guide, etc. Many sites even provide article writing guides to help aspiring writers create a real literary masterpiece.

Free to Play

There are almost always "free to play" projects on the Steam site. In them you can make in-game purchases that will give you certain benefits and bonuses. Usually free games are located in the MMO section. But with patience, you can easily find other interesting applications.

Testing

One of the ways to play for free is testing. Developers often put unfinished projects with bugs on the site. To identify software errors, you need the help of real people, that is, ours and you. Thus, testing benefits both parties: the development company brings its "brainchild" to mind, and you enjoy new game absolutely free. True, not very long.

Free Weekend on Steam

The digital content platform Steam sometimes surprises users. Check back periodically to your library - there may well be time-limited access to an interesting game. You can explore the content for free and try to pass storyline until the end. And what does the developer get? What's the point of posting the game for free? The whole "trick" lies in the fact that few people manage to go through the entire game from start to finish in the time provided. A person is interested in, and he is ready to pay a certain amount for the opportunity to continue exploring the virtual world.

If you are not yet a member of the Steam community, then this article is about you. You will learn about the brainchild of the famous company Valve, convenient methods of purchase and how to get a free game on Steam.

Why do you need a personal account and how it diversifies your vacation time.

Learn new about the popular online resource

The resource allows you to both get games on Steam for free and buy well-known products.

This community has benefits that will allow you to be one of the beta testers of a new product or get early access to it. The service selects genres according to your taste, focusing on the library of added new products, highlights new offers.

Chat with friends in the world's most famous community, give each other gifts and invite to new interesting worlds.

The Steam Workshop is another interesting feature. These are modifications to official products that you can create. There are also those that were created by others. The type of modification and its availability depends on the specific release.

There is a live streaming section where you can watch players playing the free games you are interested in live.

We take advantage of the resource

It may seem that in Steam free are only indie projects or companies that no one needs, whose products are given away cheaply, or even for free. Looking at the top of the most famous free new products in this service, you can see that this is not the case.

The free section has some of the most famous multiplayer online games, fascinating and famous developments . All you need to do is filter them out in the menu by selecting "free" and add it to your library.

This is truly a freebie and not a temporary version of a paid product. You don't have to worry about the developers making you pay when you've almost completed the story. In multiplayer online RPGs, donut can be found, as in other of these genres, but its absence usually does not create imbalance or difficulties in passing.

Here are the main ways to get any game on Steam for free:

  • Get a gift with the help of a special promotion on one of the sites;
  • Get to the days when the gift is distributed and everyone can download it;
  • Receive an online gift from a friend who will pay for it;
  • Special promotions that allow you to purchase several products at once for the price of one, and distribute the rest to your friends so that it is more fun to go through it together;
  • Through sites that allow you to complete tasks and receive special points for this.

One of the well-known methods that is often legally used by players is the exchange. On the site www.steamgifts.com and some others, you can register and participate in trades, each gives you a chance to receive a gift for free.
One minus - your account must have added offers for at least $100. This method is therefore suitable for those who already have some goods purchased or donated by others.

Sites that will allow you to get even interesting new items in different ways:

  • www.steamgifts.com
  • steamcompanion.com
  • gameminer.ru;
  • go.playblink.com/CybeRage;
  • wasdclub.com/x/5wvt.

You can find out when the distribution takes place in well-known gaming communities and online magazines(such news quickly spreads over the Internet), and visiting the account itself from time to time.

Sticking to the rules and breaking them

There are a lot of users on Steam who find "loopholes" in games, how to get through the story, interesting developer bugs, and how to get paid games on Steam for free. This can be found in the manuals and comments on your personal page while chatting with other users.

Each of them has official and unofficial guides that will allow you to get help in completing tasks of "different levels".

Steam Pros:

  • Many products from different companies, which can be purchased and stored simply and on one account;
  • Many affordable and interesting offers;
  • The ability to communicate during missions with friends and go through them together;
  • A large community and many interesting additions, access to news and fresh developer materials;
  • Product backups and all your achievements in one account. When you reinstall the system or uninstall, you do not lose your purchase;
  • Lots of useful discounts and holiday sales.

What You Might Not Know About Games

Once upon a time, when the graphics were not as perfect as they are now, and many characters were somewhat similar to angular boxes or animated mannequins, a new Half-Life from Valve came out. She was distinguished by a huge and interesting world, an exciting plot and a good system of battles at that time.

Due to many reasons, the game became a hit, and Valve, along with the release of the second part of the game, introduced the world to its new brainchild - Steam. This time it was not just another shooter or even an addon, but a full-fledged online service that was improved every year.

The novelties of different offices and fashion have become inseparably linked with the account. Now you can add games to the Steam app without having to worry about buying discs or looking for the next game stores - everything is taken care of here for you.

Immediately after the appearance of the popular service, another useful side of the community made itself felt: reports appeared with information on how many players purchased the new product, how popular it is in the community, and whether major bugs were identified. You could find out on which platform it performed better and about its other features.

Steam allows you to learn a lot interesting facts about different versions, provides gifts and giveaways, various Easter eggs.

By adding the game to your account, the user receives it in his library along with the following benefits:

  • If you liked it, you will receive similar offers and all the additions to the game, which will conveniently be displayed in your account;
  • One of the most nice extras for players - "Achievements". You and your friends in the application will be able to see what bonuses and rewards each of you earned during a single passage or campaign. Lucky sniper? Skilled strategist? Or the one who unlocked all spells for a given class? Many joke games have funny icons that make the passage of stories even more interesting;
  • Steam allows you to conveniently communicate with friends and keep in touch while completing difficult missions together;
  • Next to the name of the product in the library, you can see news, additions, groups, societies and forums associated with it;
  • The service allows you to write reviews and read reviews of other players. This is a nice advantage that will allow you to get the opinion of real users, and not a few editors of a gaming magazine.

Steam is one of the most popular gaming services along with PSN and XBL for the digital distribution of games, various software and add-ons. Today, the Steam platform has gained high popularity due to many features, among which the Steam Cloud service for cloud storage of files, the "Workshop" for mod creators, all kinds of forums, the Greenlight service, the Big Picture function and many, many others stand out. By the end of 2013, it was announced that over 65 million users had registered on the service, and the daily activity of the community now reaches 6 million users.

on Steam?

Now a huge number of games (except for titles from EA, Blizzard and some other developers) can be activated on Steam, thereby obtaining many additional features in addition to a comfortable game (achievements, cloud storage of saved games, leaderboards, etc.). How to install the game on Steam? There are 3 options here:

  • The game was purchased at retail (disc). In this case, you will, of course, have to register with Steam. Then just insert the disc with the game and follow the instructions. On the initial stage you will be asked to enter which should be in the box. Enter it and wait for the installation to complete.
  • The game was purchased digitally NOT from Steam. In this case, enter Steam => Games => Activate via Steam => Enter the digital key. After the operation, the game you bought will appear in the "Library", where you just have to download it.
  • The game was purchased directly from Steam. If so, then the game will automatically activate and will immediately appear in the "Library", where you will need to download it.

Free-to-play (F2P) games

As the name implies, F2P is a free-to-play game distribution model where developers make the bulk of their profits from microtransactions, i.e. deposits by players (optional) who want to level up their character faster, buy additional goodies and customization elements. Today, F2P is gaining more and more popularity, as evidenced by the number of products themselves. There are a lot of such games on Steam, but only 2 deserve special attention - Dota-2 and Team Fortress-2. The first is the most popular title on Steam, gathering over half a million gamers every day around the world. This game has received high ratings from critics and players, and various tournaments where considerable prize funds (1-3 million dollars) are played out only stir up interest in Dota-2 and replenish the ranks of fans every minute. As for Team Fortress-2, this is also a fairly popular FPS game with many modes and unique gameplay features. A number of free F2P can also be supplemented by Alien Swarm, America's Army-3, Spacewar, HAWKEN, Infinity Wars and others. All you need is just to go to the corresponding page on the Steam store and download it to your computer, linking it to to your account.That's how we get a free game on Steam.

Service Steam Trades

Next, we will talk about such a useful service as Steamtrades. This feature was created specifically to enable Steam users to exchange Gifts (and only them, because games linked to an account cannot be exchanged), won, for example, according to a random image in the Steam gift distribution service, which we will talk about later. But why exchange games that you already got for free? It's simple: you may have already bought a gift game or, which is extremely possible, it will be trite not to your liking. All you have to do is advertise on Steamtrades itself, listing both games (the one you want to trade and the one you want to claim). As practice shows, it is better to exchange with Western players who are more honest and decent. Unfortunately, in order to bargain with users from abroad, you need to know English language(at least at a basic level). If there is no such knowledge, then everything will be somewhat regrettable, because of which you will have to bargain only with Russian-speaking users. So you have learned another great way to get a Steam game for free. Well, create ads, make new friends and exchange goods. Good luck!

Steam Gifting Service

If you already have a lot of games in the Steam system (worth more than $150), then you can register on the website of this service. The service itself is intended for distribution of gift (gift) games. When you visit the site for the first time, the system will automatically check total cost all your titles. If you are wondering how to get games for free on Steam, you can try your luck and participate in the distribution of gifts (gifts), where the winner is chosen randomly. Try it, suddenly you're lucky! Each game participates in the distribution from one day to one month, so sometimes you have to be patient. There are also services that are similar in principle to this service - these are Play blink, Game miner and Gala giveaways. You can learn more about each of them on the official websites. Well, here's another great way to get games for free on Steam.

Holiday discounts and gifts from developers

The Steam service often pleases its users with good discounts, which sometimes reach up to 90%. Largest number games that are on the list with discounts are observed on the eve of big holidays, such as New Year, Christmas, Easter and others. However, many titles are available at good discounts. all year round but only 5-10 per week. As for gifts from developers, often another game from the same developer or publisher is "screwed" to the release of the expected project. So, for example, it was with Max Payne-3 from Rockstar Games, when the first 2 parts were given for free for the purchase of this game. The same thing happened with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare-3, when they gave the debut part of the "modern war" as a gift. There are many such examples, but we will not go into details, you understand. Separately, I would like to note the company Valve, which presented all the players with Left-4 Dead-2 for the New Year 2014. Players only needed to assign it to their account and download it. Games through Steam can also be obtained for free in an illegal (pirated) way, which you can read about below.

Pirate way

If for some reason you do not want to buy games honestly by supporting the developers, then this item is for you. In the vastness of many torrent trackers, you can find a distribution with a hacked Steam client. As a rule, it is possible to install up to 100 games in it, which you can get for free.
