Bump!

 

Thanks!

 

bumps

 

BuMpInG this. It really should be stickied. >_<

 

There's no reason for this to be stickied lol..... He just copy pasted what's written at the steam forums. It should rather be deleted, as this is the steam account sales and not discussion.

 

I put this here in case any of those games are games people wanted to buy,they will know they can be had for free, If it should be deleted go for it.

 

^^^^This^^^^

Although, I thought it was more or less to inform people of all the free games, in case someone was trying to sell an account with them to make a profit...

 

Thanks for the Info -.-

 

It honestly was more for that

 

Hmm, I have requested the list to go to the Steam Account Sales rules instead. There's no need for that many stickies.

This thread will still get deleted/closed though.

 

Locked.
