This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!)

Please don't repost stuff that's already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk rules (i.e. don't be a dick!)

Desperate much? Also really scummy name choice considering Project Zomboid.

I imagine it's one person's little project, I think at that level you don't expect something slick and professional

I literally said nothing about it not being slick and professional or whatever. But yes, he basically made a cheap zombie game, named it after a very well known zombie game, released it at 75% off, then put it 90% off a couple days later (BUY NOW!) and then immediately went 100% off the next day. This is just fishy and I would not put this junk on a Windows PC because who the hell knows if it is even clean if you're using methods like this?

Fair point! I'm just posting stuff I see that's being given away, I'm not doing any quality control beyond that. Do itch.io make any attempt to check the files they're hosting for dodgy behaviour?
