Wow that was literally one click as I was already signed in. Epic freebies you have to go through the whole cart and wait for to complete procedure

I didn't have an account. I stood in a captcha loop for 5 minutes. I can now tell you what a bus looks like

Free games on Gog are hardly one click, since you have to go into the notification settings in your account to turn the marketing emails back off after they were turned on because you claimed a free game.

I never noticed gog emails apart from maybe when I made the account but it could be uni's fault...

This is all from one parcel.

But it only takes like a minute to claim a free game, I'm totally okay with that.

Flatout is one of my favourites and has an awesome soundtrack. Also was one of my first PC games and didn't realise that was 20 years ago.

Seems to region locked. There isn't a word about the game being given away, unless I log out of my account and use a VPN.
What even is the point of region-locking a fucking giveaway?

Edit: well, at least changing the region in the settings works. I guess it defaults to whatever country it thinks the IP the account was registered from belongs to?

I remember liking this game, but can't remember if it was the one that's like a combination of Burnout and Trials or the one like Stuntman Behind the Wheel but actually good. 🤔
