Which is not a big issue. Most people have another source game that includes the SDK.
It's only really mods that require the SDK. (GMod is more of a mod then a full game).
Games that include the SDK required for mods: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2 (Premium), Portal (Paid), Portal 2, Day of Defeat: Source, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2.

Don't forget that the SDK will be also available without purchasing one of these games: Source SDK to be made free for all

That already happened. It was technically a bug now that TF2 is free, but they decided to just run with it.

no need to put 'game' in quotes, gmod is very much not a game.

it actually is
the sandbox mode itself doesn't have any particular plot or anything, but there are game modes that you can play
like trouble in terrorist town

Not being funny but HL2:DM is only free if you have an ATI / nVidia card. There are entire swathes of laptops and desktops out there now with only an Intel chipset. Surely not the best for gaming but it can be used for lots of games (even things like Hoard can run on Intel chipsets, and that's quite fussy about having OpenGL compatibility), and DOESN'T entitle you to a free copy of HL2:DM.
Hence why I gave my extra copy of it away and enough people entered to make it worthwhile.

While there are ways to pass the steam's check for graphics card I seriously doubt that you'd have proper fps playing with an intel chipset. Maybe with the latest ones.

ive got x3100 with gm 965 and it runs alot of stuff pretty good actually. Its a mac to be precise but i have windows 7 in boot camp and the only stuff that wont run are high end games. I play starcraft 2 perfect, and also borderlands. There are way to mod them and the way your computer runs games to help with performance a little bit more. I have seen a few people running games like Deus Ex: HR, Fallout 3 games, and a few others on it so its not that bad but pretty much no OpenGL hurts it alot

Precisely on my mac with an nvidia card the free nvidia HL2:DM could not be redeemed. I had to sort out some old crappy pc with an old crappy nvidia card to get it free... too bad...

You're not really a gamer if your PC/Laptop/Notebook has only an Intel Graphics

Happy to help. Also Dark Messiah servers are a bit empty at the moment. Last night I saw 8 servers and only on three of them there were players :P

how can you get the sdk then, now that it is free?
Comment has been collapsed.
This has been mentioned many times before. Not all people are willing to set up a proxy and all. They know they can get it for free but they rather enter a giveaway then doing it themselves.

Free to play is a title usually reserved to MMO titles and means that it usually lets you play for free but if you want you can buy items to help you in your game. Moonbase Alpha does not have a store (that I am aware of) where you can use real cash to buy in game items... hence free as opposed to free to play

People still posting Dark Messiah Mp keys -.- Seriously, I would think it would stop by now
Comment has been collapsed.
True, I'm trying to save at least those who check the forums. But most of them probably already knows about those games.
Also there are non steam games that are free too in the list.

Thanks for this list, I'll pass along the info to my friends and family!

It's disguisting that you lie to Cdaction a really good PC and Console Gaming Magazine in Poland just to get a multiplayer key for a 10$ Game, pathetic...
Oh and by the way it is illegal and it can get you to jail in here for lieing where you live and just stealing the codes which were supplied only for the users of the site who actually READ AND BUY the magazine, idiot.
Learn to read, oh I forgot you only go on a Polish site to download a game because you can't spend few dollars on it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understand your concern and agree with you that it's not a good thing to do. But it's not illegal to lie to website, it may be soon enough with all the digital media incorporated in our lives but it's not now. It's not technically lying either since you never said that you live in Poland nor they did ever asked about it.
But I'll remove the instructions now, I assume that people learned that giving away copies of that game in this site isn't okay by now.
Comment has been collapsed.
It didn't work for me, would it be too much trouble to get a code for me? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
if the games were supplied only for the readers / buyers of the magazine, they would give steam keys WITH the magazine. making it so easily accessible is not our fault, neither does it warn anyone registering that accessing the keys outside poland is illegal.
and lieing to an internet site which does not present and make me confirm with an information safety policy does deserve it. just don't go blindly defending..

Anyone notice all the other games listed next to it? I clicked on them and they seemed to email keys for them also...Really strange.

Yes but free to play differs from free games. Also there are non steam games on the list.

Supposedly 300 free indie games. Seems legit, but I don't know too many details.
Also, SPUF topic on it:

Do they install to Steam?
Quote from FAQ:
Q: Are these games legit?
A: Yes! "Pirate Kart" here is a reference to the unlicensed video game multicarts like Action 52 and Cassette 50 which indirectly inspired it. All games are included at the request of their creators.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's funny that they would compare it to Action 52, since the general quality of the games from both seems to be the same =P

The reason I'm writing this thread is that these games are free and you don't need to create giveaways for them nor spend your points on them.
First of all these are Steam's offers. They are free if you met the requirements and most of them just require you to have a Steam account. Also I learned that Source SDK is free now so nearly all of the games on that list are free without restrictions.
I hope after this point nobody will post these games nor enter giveaways featuring them. I think it would be best to make this or something like this sticky or add it to the faq.
