The "Fresh Free Game Deals" Thread

[NeuralStunner]

In your Steam client, go to the "store" tab, search for Pinball FX3, and scroll down a bit. You should have a green line telling you you own the game, with a blue "play now" button below, then further below something to find other Zen Studio games, then the normal "buy" button that's turned into a "play" button, and below that, the list of DLC packages. Among them is the Care Package. Click on its "Play Now" button (or "Download" button, I don't remember which was shown) and that will add it to your account.

I did this from the main game page, and it simply wants to launch ("Play Game"). However, visiting the store page for one of the unowned DLCs actually turns the package button to "Download". Not straightforward, but it works.

Thanks, i've registered and adquired AC2 here: https://register.ubisoft.com/assassins-creed-2/es-ES
In my account "there are still no games" and if i try to get it again i get the same success message saying i've adquired it. Do i need to install UPlay to complete the "purchase" or something? Very good game BTW, i played AC1 and liked it very much.
