I've created this community because I've found a few places that regularly give away free games, and there are probably a lot of you out there who aren't aware of them but also like freebies!

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!) - that said I'm not the boss here, if people want to change the rules then just shout!

Here are some good places to keep an eye on:

I'll probably post any freebies I see on these sites whenever I happen to check them but don't let that stop you if you see them before me! Also these are all PC games as that's what I generally play, if you find any similar deals for consoles then feel free to post them too.

Thanks! Can you work in #offer-section-FGWP_FULL as the starting point for the filter? I am not sure what syntax to use to look for a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"] under #offer-section-FGWP_FULL without specifying how many elements down it is. Without targeting that id for the "Free games" tab, your filter leaves weird blank spots in the "All" tab for each game that got filtered out.

I usually go directly to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game so I'll need to check the all tab too.

Just checked it.

For the empty spaces in the carousel, you could use this:

spoilergaming.amazon.com##a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]:upward(li[class="grid-carousel__slide"])


And the platform_specific_tag is what appears in their links when you open their pages and that, from what I can observe, is specific to where they activate in.

For example, in Jurassic World Evolution and Electrician Simulator, the tag is the epic/ part of the link.

For Overcooked 2 and The Outer Worlds, it's gog/.

And though it should work without the /, maybe better keep it, as the lack thereof may trigger false positives, like if Legacy of Kain for GOG is available, but you block legacy results in case you want nothing from Legacy Games, you won't see Legacy of Kain due to its name appearing in the link.

This is what I ended up with to block everything but GOG. Thanks for all your help!
