Someone just gave me a free game...

So yeah, I log onto Steam today after school, and notice Unreal Tournament 3 sitting in my uninstalled games list...

I looked over to the side of it and it said "Gift 1.8 days left." So I'm guessing that someone messed up and gave UT3 to me, and that I have 1.8 to install it...so I'm installing it right now to try this out.

Also, gifting a game on Steam is not illegal. I don't know why I have this, and there is no steam update saying anything about UT3...so I'm guessing it was a mistake.

Anyone else had something like this happen to them?

I'm opening Steam for the first time in months.


Maybe I'll get lucky.

Heeeyy guuuys...what's Stream?

For serious?!

Steam is what comes out of a boiling kettle. I know, I'm a scientist.

In order to celebrate the release of the new titan pack update, steam is letting everyone play Unreal Tournament 3 for FREE.

Create a steam account, login, download and play.

See you guys on the servers!

Also, 11.99 till mid march. If you enjoy it, buy it!

Only lasts for the weekend though.

Ah...I didn't see that on the front of the Steam store and I didn't bother looking for it...

Well that sucks...

Edit: But it gave me a CD key...what's up with that?

.... *sigh*

Be informed. :)

Actually... it's VBulletin... they break off the last parenthesis in every link for some reason.

I purchased UT3 and have yet to be able to play it without it freezing. Some known problem they don't bother fixing.
