    Just bookmark this link and check it as often you want:

    https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/

    Looks like Total War: Shogun 2 is going free in about a week. DCS is also currently free to play for two weeks. I've always wanted to try it.

    Last I saw Steam said any game you get for free (excluding gifts/trades) will give you zero trading cards. Which I assume is to prevent abuse by certain developers as it had in the past. Which so far seems to be correct since none of the games I have gotten lately drop any cards.

    I appreciate the free game links. I'd rather decide what is shitty myself than someone decide for me. I've found a few gems in free games, and we all kinda different stuff.

    Unless it's a legit scam game that doesn't work, I think it's worth sharing in case people want.

    Yeah, it only applies to those that Steam gives away for free. The ones that you get free elsewhere doesn't count against it and you can still get free cards from it.

    got 8 choices left from last months, 7 choices left from the upcoming choices (only hitman is gone) and I've got everything left in the 2K bundle except WWE 2k20.

    Standard rules. I check post history, if I think your a twat, you don't get free stuff from me. deal with it.

    Anyone having any luck for Total War Shogun 2? It says it is 100% off, costs $29.99 and when I go to try to "redeem" it wants me to buy it. Been looking forward to this one since I saw it announced earlier in the month.

    This guideline of free games not giving cards is starting to get silly really.

    So even if i add dlc's to total war 2, it would still grant me no cards?

    I'm curious about this as well. If so the $0.74 cents for one dlc could make it worth it in the long run with the extra card drops.

    I mean technically DLC doesn't give extra drops, but it *might* be able to activate them if they weren't before.

    "DLC from the Steam Store will not grant additional trading card drops for a free to play game. The only purchases that qualify are those completed through the in-game store."

    So, yeah Steam and Valve says No.

  19. #14859
    Yeah, that part we knew about. The question though is if you buy DLC from a free game on Steam does it "activate" the original purchase in this case since a purchase was applied to the game.

    To answer your question I bought the "Rise of the Samurai Campaign" since it was more than just some units and it still shows 0 cards able to drop.

    Well just before you bought the (free) game on steam which in this case is Shogun 2, there was a question mark with the add to account button that says that no trading cards will come out of this license you're about to add to your account.
