i wonder why people give their games away but in this case it's to tempt people into buying dlc - which is fair - thanks for the info

I can't speak for anybody else, but I've been considering making a game and giving away several copies of it. My thought is that in giving a few copies away, 1: I'll receive more feedback so I can improve it in the future, and 2: Word of mouth will spread and get more people interested in buying the game.

Spend £10k on marketing or give away £10k in keys? No difference financially, much more goodwill from potential customers.

In addition to what others are saying, there is also the factor of trading card drops, with which the developer will be able to recuperate some of money from potential sales lost due to this giveaway. It's not as prevalent anymore given steam's more stringent approval processes, but shovelware games used to make all of their money off of this while giving away thousands of free copies.

That's the reason that games given away in free promotions on the Steam store don't drop trading cards anymore. Devs were abusing it.

Yeah, it's been that way for a while now. I can imagine that it had been a lucrative operation for crappy devs. Haha!

I've been burnt so many times before... Now I just put it in my calendar with an e-mail reminder. Only way not to miss those... 👀

I actually won chapters 1-3 in 2015 (just after it was added to a Humble Bundle) and obtained 4&5 as well. I really liked the game-- for the most part-- but it kind of jumped the shark at some point, and I hear chapter 6 was more of the same. I never did pick up Chapter 6...I guess I should watch a video of it.

It seems they also just added achievements, soundtrack and new content to the game.
