I completely missed the reminder mail two days ago and checked today a couple of minutes too late, it's my fault :D

Still has about another hour. Looks like they removed it early by mistake

Front page still says game is free, but I have no option to get it...

Same

Refresh the front page and you will see the banner you had to click in order to get the game is gone.

It is from my experience that the vast number of Steam users I've interacted with; do conform to the concept of a "sheeple".

Take the Subscription contract Valve uses.

When I point out Steam is a subscription service, all say "no its not", "what you talking about" or "don't spout rubbish".
Fair enough, the vast majority of people don't read the EULAs or T+Cs of the service they use.

Yet when show the contract that they agreed to, never once out of 100+ times has someone said, "Oh I didn't read it", or "Well, what choice do I have" or even "Yeh, well I don't care".

When faced with an immutable truth I am told "I'm making it up", or that "it doesn't really mean that", or "Its just the steam EULA" or my favourite "it can't be a subscription because i'm not paying for it".

Or SFS
I'm constantly told I'm wrong in describing how it works, even after linking the official Valve FAQ that confirms it does work exactly as I describe I am still told I am wrong. The best reply is an elaborate, and legally impossible, conspiracy theory that it must have been the publishers that demanded the restrictions and Valve are innocent.


Now you are right.
I shouldn't assume something about someone over a single post, and I have already apologised for doing so.

After refreshing the front page literally still says : "Get Shadow Warriors 2 for Free"

noooooooo... I missed it... even if the front page still say it's free.

I'm sad, I really wanted this game.

Topmost as plain text, with a line above and below it, under the first title, yes. REALLY dumb that is says so when the giveaway is already over.

For the future: These giveaways on GOG are distributed so that you have to click on the giveaway banner on the front page, usually has a timer telling how long until it will be too late.

These kind of giveaways normally take you straight to where you need to go from the email you receive.

Here I was sent to a front page saying "Get Shadow Warrior 2 for Free", but no button or way to actually. The email never gave me a limit for the offer, just said "time limited".

All I have to say at this point is F* this bait and switch tactic. Wasn't much of a GoG user before, Sure won't be after this.

I contacted customer support about it. Advertising it as still free is disingenuous.

After installing the game, in the Steam client go to "Add New Game", then "Add Non-Steam game to Steam", the game should be launchable in Steam, and Steam features like screenshots, video broadcasting, overlay should work. If the game supports achievements, multiplayer though it'll likely use the Galaxy backend to implement them, not sure if the client needs to be running for that or not (I forget, it's been a while). :)

The only big thing missing from the Galaxy client is the video broadcasting, streaming features the Steam client has, but in fairness ... those features are pretty unstable and unreliable in Steam client anyway hehe. OBS FTW. :)

Good Bardez. Please share their answer in this thread.

Yeah, I really feel my time was wasted here. Searched for a good 15 minutes trying to get it added to my account. I sent a support ticket, and whether or not I feel Gog respects my time will be determined by their response.

I've not been able to get on my PC for a few days so I missed it, Bummer. And still having "Get Shadow Warrior 2 Free" on the front page after it's over is very bad.
