It does seem to be free on Steam. However, some people prefer other platforms for a number of reasons.

Alongside Unreal Gold, Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius is also free on GOG.

EDIT: That game's free on Steam, too. Again, maybe the different platform makes a difference to some people.

Yeah, and it is pretty good combination of tactics on hex board and visual novel.
It includes two campaigns, First Arrival and Mask of Arcadius (at least the Steam version does); the last part of trilogy, Liberation Day, is paid.

If you want just the visual novel part, you can turn down the difficulty to such level combat gets nearly trivial.
If you want just the tactics part, you can skip through all the dialogue.

Great to see this old Unreal free on GOG, it was incredibly breakgrounding at the time.
It sure has aged a lot (unlike the original UnrealTournament that followed this original Unreal that is still fun to play and features lots of fantastic mods) but it's interesting for checking how the whole unreal engine started.

Note : the gog version use the last official patch 226 , but you want to use the last unofficial patch 227i that came with more bugfixes and much better D3D and OpenGL renders :

just make sure to download the version for Unreal Gold

Hacknet Deluxe is free on humble right now, not sure what it is, but the price is right.

Actually they have a game just for that (paid, I think) which is the same characters in a Harem-School-Show style of Visual novel (no tactics). Well, the same faces and names anyway, it's not sci-fi, which was a let down. It's called "Sunrider Academy"

GOG is giving away Xenonauts for free for a limited time.

Think of it as the old XCOM games made new again, sort of.

They've also put in a new batch of GOG Connect titles.
If you own one of the games on Steam, you can get the GOG copy for free. (Redundant and DRM-free)

Apparently they recently added a feature where you're not allowed to choose the game mode you wish to play. Also, it might just be a free weekend/open beta type of thing. It does say "Free Weekend", and nothing about whether or not you keep it afterwards.

It's the click now, keep forever kind of deal. Though from what I've gathered, the game's gonna be free to play once it's out of early access anyway, and this opportunity to grab it for free just gets one playing the f2p game a bit earlier.
