Over the years, I've nabbed one high-profile free game on Steam after another. I now have a really nice catalogue of "real" free games on there. Don't know if Steam is that generous anymore (I rarely log in these days, mostly because I don't have a PC to handle it), but if you have an account, I'd just check in every so often and strike when one of them pops up.

Yeah, Steam, GOG and Epic all have some promotions where they give out games for free for a short time, as do the publishers in their own stores sometimes. I intend to add those to the first post later down the road (not much happening there right now anyway on that front) So they're visible as soon as one opens the thread. I will also make a new post every time this happens so people can see it, too.

StarCraft and StarCraft 2 are free.
In StarCraft 1's case, that excludes the remastered release.

Epic Game store frequently has free games.

EA Origin, Ubisoft uDontPlay and GOG also had free games on occasion.

For years Steam had given Half Life 2 free to AMD/ATI users... Sadly they killed the link a couple years ago.

Keep an eye on the PC thread as the guys in that thread do an amazing job of letting everyone know about free stuff.

Yep, already saw that StarCraft is free - the problem now is to find where to download it.

As for StarCraft 2, Only the first part (Wings of Liberty) is free, meaning the Zerg and Protoss campaigns are still for sale. But since they all released as full price titles, I'll add it anyway.

And yes, I keep an eye out for such free games on those storefronts. Though I don't use EA Origin, it's normally either in the news or @JEMC mentions them in the main PC thread, so I'll add them from there.

Epic has Ghostrunner to grab for free until April 18, so hurry up while you still can!

StarCraft 1 is here. StarCraft 2 is essentially a F2P title with microtransactions at this point, but you can basicly get everything WoL contained for free I suppose.

I have fond memories of Battle for Wesnoth from many, many years ago now, and it seems the game is still being actively developed. Along the years, it has also come to Steam as well.

Yep, it's on the way to the list. Haven't played Wesnoth in about 15 years now, but I really liked it back then.

We're now at almost 60 free games already linked here. it's quite a variety, though interestingly First-person shooters and Adventure games are the most common types of games so far; closely followed by RPGs.
