I’m actually surprised more people don’t have them. My parents even both have them–though, in their case, it happened by accident because they were signing up for so many things, and then abandoned the old account. ---

[Murderous Pursuits](https://store.steampowered.com/app/638070/Murderous_Pursuits/) free to keep on steam if you grab it this weekend. Looks like they were trying to re-create The Ship but never had the buzz to create the player base necessary so they’re giving it away instead. Worth a try. ---

I’m a new account holder. I created an account, verified my email, then hit a dead end. Found this page: [Battle.net Login](https://us.account.blizzard.com/gifts/?blzcmp=blizzard-news) It states you have to enable SMS Protect to claim the offer. So they want my phone number in exchange for a free game. Luckily I have a Google Voice number. 😉 ETA: I spoke too soon, it says I can’t use that number. Oh well will have to think about giving yet another company my phone number. ---

It’s not a free game but related to a game… [The Witcher Wild Hunt Live Concert](https://www.gog.com/movie/video_game_show_the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_concert?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=20181109_nl_daedalic_weekend_EN&utm_term=EN) It’s an orchestra playing music from The Witcher with scenes from the game playing behind them. Ordinarily I would pass on stuff like this but it really is an amazingly well choreographed game when it comes to the music…they really outdid themselves making it and the music is pretty great (IMHO). It is free for a limited time. If you listen to this chances are good you will want to play the game again (I am re-downloading it now). NOTE: The music is not available through your GOG client. You have to login to your account via a web browser to access the concert. ---

Free to keep: [I am not a monster](https://store.steampowered.com/app/826600/I_am_not_a_Monster/). Looks like a social deduction game.
