Here's the list of games available: LIST
Welcome to the new Community Leave a Game Take a Game! DRM-Free Only Edition!
(That's LAGTAGDFOE for short!)
There Are so many different choices for DRM-Free, hopefully in time there will be more DRM-Free titles then DRMed ones, but it won't happen if you continue to exchange keys for the STupid Evil Ampire Monpoly (OR UP) like they worth anything... So Just Don't!
Here's my vision of what the TOGO thread could have been (shamelessly ripped from) . I hope this works out better.
Feel free to take a game and leave a game after reading and following these rules:
WHO CAN GIVE AND TAKE?
Established Community Members
This is only for well-established *community* members with a reputation of 200 or more. If you don't have that kind of rep then just keep being a part of the community. You'll get there.
Not Known Scammers
Some people do unethical things in the giveaways and trades. People listed here need not leave or take games.
HOW TO TAKE A GAME
Ask
1)Ask for any game in the list by replying to corresponding post. Also, say what one game you will leave that will have at least 65% of the value of the game you took. Do note the IsThereAnyDeal Lowest for refference
1 a) You may not use the sum of multiple games to reach the required value and trade it for one game.
1 b) Exception: You may leave a multiple-game collection in a single code (or a gift to a bundle on any of the bundle sites or a collection).
For example, you may leave a Steam code for the Age of Empires Legacy Bundle (including AoE2, expansion and AoE3) totaling $54.99 and trade that for a copy of Witcher 3 ($59.99). You would not be able to trade AoE2+ and AoE3 individually for it.
On a similar account, you can add a gift to a full BTA bundle (if it has DRM-Free titles) from Humble Bundle worth at it's Last BTA price+65% (for example 10$+6.5$=16.5$ which you could exchange for a Gog D&D Classics Complete Bundle Gift key)
(The purpose of this rule is to allow collections but continue to keep the value of the games in the list from reaching near-zero).
2) You may want to put an asterisk near the game title in the spreadsheet for a game you've asked for.
3) If 2 days pass and you haven't heard back, send a message to the giver so that it (hopefully) sends them an email.
4) If you don't hear back for 21 days, then we will assume that the game is a dud. Please report it.
("Did Not Receive X Game from Y User, Waited 21 Days.")
What to Do After Getting a Game
1) Remove the game from the list
2) Add your game to the list with all important information
3) Make a post saying "Received and Redeemed" or "Received, Code Did Not Work.
3a) If the code did not work, the gifter can give you a code that works for the same game (Must be from same vendor or other DRM-Free variant).
3b) Or the gifter will no longer be allowed to participate. You should then put a post in the "Known Scammers" thread.
3c) Or the code may have expired or been bad in some way, but they have another game that you may be interested in. If you want to make that deal, you may, but you must report it in the thread (e.g. "Received, Code Did Not Work. Accepted Dead Space 2 instead of Dead Space 1.). Repeat false gifters will have to be excluded from the thread.
How Many Games Can I Take?
You may take 1 game per 24 hours.
Who Can I Get a Game From?
If the game has been listed for more than a week: Anyone.
If the game has been listed for a week or less: Anyone except someone you just gave a game to. This thread is not for 2 people trading back and forth, but for the community to post unwanted games that have value to others. So we let more people interact by taking just one game every day and not taking from those who just gave us a game.
WHAT GAMES CAN I LEAVE?
No Duplicates
You may not add a duplicate to the list. So if there's already a TIE Fighter there, you may not leave a TIE Fighter, you have to leave something else.
Similar Value
You must leave a game with a retail value of at least 65% of the game you took. The spreadsheet can make that calculation for you.
- All amounts should be in USD.
- You can get your retail value from where the game redeems to (or check IsThereAnyDeal). If you have a GamersGate version of King Arthur for $19.99 you use that value for the Retail Price, but if you have a Desura Key that costs less you use the Desura price.
Again note IsThereAnyDeal and Add the Lowest Of The Distributor you added to the table. You don't have to link IsThereAnyDeal to the title
- You can use your regional price or the US price if it's higher (but explain it in your post).
Free Games and DLC Allowed
Games that were given for free or DLC are allowed, so long as they follow the above rules. Remember, no duplicates. So you can leave The Witcher, so long as nobody else has.
Time-Sensitve Codes Allowed If They Have 30 Days On Them
You can give a code so long as it has at least 30 days left to redeem it.
Game On List Do Not Expire
If you take a game, then your game needs to stay on the list permanently (excluding time-sensitive codes). Please do not wait 30 years for someone to take a game because it is junk. Leave something that someone will probably enjoy.
Free to Play Codes Are Not OK
Codes for in-game purchases for free-to-play games are not allowed. Also, codes for free-to-play games are not allowed (like I may have an old, usable Dungeons and Dragons Online code that will get you 30 days premium now -- that is not allowed).
Here's the list of games available: LIST
I hope you enjoy unloading your extra keys and picking up something you'll love!
edit: Changed some clarifications and removed irrelevant information such as regarding Steam versions
I'm adding the first title to the list: Gray Matter (ShinyLoot) thanks to siulebuo! - ShinyLoot account Required to redeem, but You might get a Steam key after redeeming and sending an email to the developer showing proof you have the game.
