Hello fellow patient gamers, this is a cheeky self-plug for [email protected], a community I’ve created to post limited-time full-game free giveaways. The reward for being patient is that sometimes you get freebies; post them here if you spot them first, or comment to say whether it’s a must play for everyone or if zero cost is still too expensive!

Meaning like posting the offers for free games on gog and the weekly ones on epic? Sounds great

Yeah pretty much! There’s a sticky post with all the places I usually check, my plan is to basically post whenever I check and see anything new.

Ah well, if it even helps you get one game you enjoy then it’ll be worth it!

I know rss has been around but I have no idea what it is

tl:dr; rss is a standard format for updates (think title, description, link). Think about rss updates as emails and an rss reader as an email inbox

How and where do you subscribe to rss?

You can use one of the bunch of RSS feed readers to do that. I haven’t use it for years (basically since I lost everything I had on Google reader) so I cannot recommend you any apps

I tried subscribing to the RSS feed and it loaded the initial content but then never updated, have you had better luck with this or is it a bit buggy in general?

Cheers, though it doesn’t look that active. I guess we can see if one becomes dominant!
