We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I could make excuses, but really I was just being lazy.
All keys asked for have been sent out, here is the current list available
I'm posting the bundle they are from as well, let me know which bundle as well as the game to help me locate exactly which key to send
Keys have been sent out, list has been updated to strikeout what has been claimed.
Also to clear some FUD, I have been informed that specifically Humble Games is what got shitcanned, which is separate from Humble Bundle, so theoretically things aren't nearly as dire as my kneejerk reaction...
Holy fuck I have way more just sitting there than I thought.
It'll take more time than I have free to be super organized about this, so I'm just going to copy-paste the text descriptions. There will probably be duplicates. These go all the way back to 2016, but the keys I redeemed myself still...
So apparently IGN has laid off the entire staff for Humble Bundle for "restructuring" and is offloading operations to a "third party", so they're totally not shutting down.
Get whatever you can from Humble Bundle, it might not be here in a month.
Or worse, it will be here but utterly infested...
Its technically not a give away, but the Shadows of Mordor collection has a really good deal on Steam right now.
$7 for a normally $90 bundle.
Shadows of Mordor Bundle
The offer ends 4/18/24
You can deselect the DLC maps from downloading before starting any downloads at all.
It's still pretty big, 70-100 gb with only the base The Island map installed, but it's a pretty fun game and worth the time, especially for free.
Why yes, I am somewhat biased towards the game, with it being...
It's the map files. It's only 300 GB if you install EVERY map all at once.
Right click ARK in your library, Properties, DLC, and uncheck the maps you aren't going to play on right now.
It's still large, but a whole lot more manageable.
Not truly free, but damn close for the price.
Massive Bundle Sale on itch.io
According to the blurb it's 991 games, around a $6,500 cost full price, for $10.
This is a much better reason than what I came up with.
Control. By altering the demo only, the dev actually has control over the version he made free, but if he made the official entry free anyone who had the Steam license would continue to have the full game free forever.
Meh, whatever. Too...
Yes, but that is through Steam's system and has a duration set before starting. Setting something 'officially' to free with a duration "until I decide it's not" and then setting it back could have consequences.
Like I said, I'd like to think there is a reason it's done this way and it makes...
Probably would fuck with Steam's listing or legalities of making it officially free when it was being sold before, or something like that.
I don't know, I'm not a dev. Just saw the announcement in my Library screen, and figured people might want a free game.
