My dad downloaded Skyrim through Steam, and I see that Super MNC is free today, so I was thinking about giving it a whirl. How do I download this stupid game? I see no options to do so.

Super MNC isn’t available yet. I think it’s coming out in April.

It’s free to play so once it’s out you should be able to just hit install on it’s store page.

That explains that, and why I was confused when it said “Free to Play Games”. Even if I wanted to buy it, how would I do that? I assume it’s still in beta.

You would go to the Steam store’s page for whatever game you’re interested in and it’ll have a price and checkout area on the right, I believe.
