Should be obvious - plus a free game giveaway wouldn't do anything as a free game is free, anyone can get it, a giveaway is not needed

Should be obvious, yes...
Edit - stalking Hey, this was your first ever post on SG. Welcome!

Dude but game is considered free when there is some high portition giveaway (with few thousands keys), but there are some guys who didn't know about that or just dont use every site or givers ran out of keys :P +CG promised this year to look into this "free" game give aways

Well, you could set rules to get the key. Like only your whitelist or only people with a certain level.
Also it's a shame that some really interesting games can't be given away here just because there was a 10K key GA like a year ago with the majority of the keys going to bots and people with multiple accounts.
Just make a sub where you can give away free games without getting any CV.

Or make a key drop? I like the GA idea better, but it is what it is for now.

Let me know if you have trouble with the SGTools. I put some custom stuff in there, and maybe I borked it?

Found an old thread that I thought must be it... still can't find train entrance...

Pass the SGTools, but I found I'm BLed. :)
Need some others to check them.

No good reason IMHO. The fact that a game was free doesn't mean everyone had a chance to grab it, or that it has no value. If you don't want to skew the level system, don't give cv for it, or even better - grant 1% cv for it and require at least one non-free game to level up to 1.
Now you'll hear all the naysayers talking about server load, support load and other loads.

I mean, some devs/related do this anyway when they do 50k gibs on the site, so... shrug

if a game is truly free, there wouldn't be keys for it. 0 CV for games that were given away as a promotion seems like the obvious solution, and they could even be on a separate category if SteamGifts is worried about the front page being filled with even crappier giveaways than usual

Overall, I would actually like to see the 'promo' free games able to be given. If you miss the main giveaway, it'd be nice to pick it up elsewhere. 0 CV is the best option for these, I think.

Found the train, but can't enter :(
Still, fun puzzle
Bump!

Found the thread although can't find any link to the train?

Should be able to make giveaways for free games, why not?
Just don't give CV for it or require points to enter.

I guess I'll just have to drop some freebie keys at the end of an SGTools-protected L1+ train hidden in the body of some old miscellaneous thread of mine.
It seems many of you solvers are finding your way to an old, defunct SGTools giveaway. I've removed the link to the old one, so hopefully you won't be misled. Sorry!
BEGIN SOLUTION:
If you search through the discussion list for the text
some old miscellaneous thread(see my emphasis above), you should find an older post by me with that exact title. The body of that thread isbut internally, it looks like this:
There's a link added to the text with no link text specified. In other words, if you look at the page source, you should see a block with this HTML:
From there, that link takes you to SGTools, then directly to the train.
