Questions, Feedback, and Discussion

[LH]

In light of recent discussions, I wanted to provide a bit of insight into the decisions about the sort of things that get allowed or deleted in the main thread. The thing is, as much as I'd like to spell out a simple set of rules, it often comes down to a judgement call. There are a bunch of factors to consider (e.g. game desireability, game format, effort to obtain, reliabilty of source, time constraints, etc...) and every situation seems to bring new complications.

The main thread is for freebie posts only which makes feedback and explanations difficult. So, if you have any questions or comments, bring them here and we can offer insights and debate philosophy without spamming up the game list.

tl:dr version - Ask questions here

Just a heads up. Later today, to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of their game launcher, Ubisoft will be giving away the game Immortals Fenyx Rising.

There are a few package sold of this game, is it only the base game that is being given away? I suppose I'll find out soon enough. lol

They didn't tell, but I think it's only the base game. From past Ubisoft giveaways, they only gave the base game.

There are reports that you might be able to claim through the old-style 'register' link. So far ive not seen confirmation that this works from anyone i know, so if you have the client installed and want to post a confirmation in the Discussion thread, that'd be nice.

https://register.ubisoft.com/ImmortalsFenyxRising_Free/en-US

Confirmed working for me with a preexisting account. I had the client open just in case when I clicked to this link in browser, logged in, and clicked to get it, ignoring the prompt to launch or install the client. Watched the giveaway banner disappear from Ubisoft Connect’s home screen, and confirmed that it was now in my library.
(By the by, in the client I didn’t need to navigate to Free Games; the giveaway banner was right there on Home after letting the client update and restart [I never launch it].)

Appreciate the confirmation, updated the main post for clarity. Though by now most of the people have already seen the main announcement too i suppose.

On mobile browser I was able to claim the game through the process from the main game but clicking the "Get the game" button. Select Ubisoft as the platform which took me to the register link in my region.

Redeemed from inside Uplay but it says Giveaway below in same place as on Trials it would say Trial, is that normal or will it expire?

Well, it's a new thing that giveaway copies are now marked like that, but I assume you are fine as long as it not says DEMO in the same spot.

The publisher has probably added the age rating to Steam but not to Epic.
