    Hey guys!

    So do you want to get alot more games than what you already have!? Well you have come to the right place!
    I will try to list a couple of ways you can get some more games for free, some of them you may not even know existed!

    So first off my personal favorite to go to has to be Alienware Arena. They do some giveaways on games in beta or full releases. Mostly beta's or alpha's though. This site is very usefull if you want more games, and it also gets updated regularly. All you have to do it be somewhat active on their forums, to earn some of their games! And most of the time you dont even have to do that!
    https://eu.alienwarearena.com/ucf/Giveaway

    Then probably the best way if you just generally want to find a specific game you dont have money for but you really want. Use the google search engine, it is indefinatly usefull here. Just pop the game name into the search and your current date. Then if there is a giveaway it should be able to find it ;)


    Then another great way to actually get free games, is to follow some very popular youtubers. Since they have alot of followers, companies or just developers in general have alot to gain from the youtubers subs. So they give them some free copies of the game to advertise it. This is obviusly not the best and safe strategy to get your games. But its worth a try, you never know when you can win.


    A great way for youtubers to earn games they need or want is Keymailer. You need to be an actual youtuber with over 50 subs to join this website and participate in their giveaways. The great thing here is that you dont actually have to join a giveaway, you just ask them for a game and wait for a response!


    Then another not too reliable plan to get more games, is to be an active community member on as many forums as possible that do regular giveaways! This will just earn you more reputation, which will probably give you a better chance of winning a giveaway. This one also ties into another one, which is be active on multiplayer servers in certain games. Sometimes they do giveaways when their server reaches a milestone, thats actually how i got Arma 3 with all its DLC's.


    And then since you are already on these forums, we actually have a FREE GAMES tab! You should really go check it out ;) It has some great games on its list that you can get for free!
    http://www.mgn.tm/forum/pages/freegames/

    You can also go to the Freedom! Dashboard and on there you can also get some free games, the more subs you have the better games you can get!


    And lastly, the best way to get more games. Go to steam and open up the free games tab. There is probably something you like ;)


    If you have any more tips on how to get alot of free games please leave a comment and then i will add it to the list, if it is viable for the list. If its not i will put it below this line ;)

    Also congrats that you made it all the way through! I know it was quite a bit to read!

    Thanks for this post!!


    This one I did not know about. I will check this out and see what it is all about.


    This is worth a look but don't expect great results. A group I interact with regularly surveyed ourselves to see how this was working out across the 10 of us. So far, the results were not stellar. Personally in the last 90 days I've requested 59 keys, I've received 7. This spans the gambit from games like Ultimate General: Civil War to small new titles like Help Me Doctor. I still push through a request now and then but I'm not sure how effective this system is.

    Again, I wonder how this is actually handled. I've only done one request, about a month ago, and at this point assume I didn't make the cut which is fine. But there are games on there I know have been there for a bit and unless people here are not requesting anything, I'm a bit surprised they are lingering.

    This is one aspect of MGN I wish there was more clear cut criteria and a system in place to let folks know their request was turned down. But folks, send in requests nonetheless!!

    True enough on this one.


    Go direct to publishers or developers. Some may have an area for streamers and youtubers to request games. I have gotten a couple this way myself.

    Yeah i should have probably said, if you want you can actually talk to the devs themselves... Forgot about that one xD.
    Thanks for the reminder and the feedback though :)

    Well the regular Support team handles it, and obviusly this comes after the actual support work they have to do. Like accepting or declining new members into MGN.

    But 1 whole month is quite awhile, mabye try asking @Layanor or @Jake Frost what is happening ;)
