Be aware, it's not free as in costs $0, it's free as a "Giveaway," where you must accept these terms:

By clicking the ‘Add to library’ button, I agree to receive marketing communications from GOG and CD PROJEKT on my email address and through GOG services and GOG’s Trusted Partners’ services, to get Shadows: Awakening. See our Privacy policy.

They can send them all they want. It's just gonna go to an email addresss I don't even use.

While its annoying, its so easy to unsubscribe that I see it as a fair price for a free game.

Weird move from GOG/CDPR.

They do that for pretty much every giveaway. Just unsubscribe after claiming.

Ah, I wasn't aware since this is the first gog giveaway I've seen. Thanks for informing me.
