How it works
Free as a business model
Nothing here is a promotion. No countdown, no claim window, no deadline to miss. Install it today or in two years on identical terms.
Which makes this the most stable list on the site. It changes when a game launches, switches model, or shuts down, and not otherwise.
The money comes from somewhere
Cosmetics, battle passes, convenience purchases. A smaller number sell power, which is what people mean when they say pay-to-win. Some games are free because they are old, because they are community-run, or because a publisher stopped bothering to charge.
A store page will not tell you which kind you are looking at. The useful question is not whether it costs money, it is whether the monetisation is a hat shop or a wall you hit at hour ten.
These are live games
They need a connection, they get patched, and they can be switched off. Servers close and the game goes with them.
Nothing on this page is yours the way a claimed giveaway is yours. Worth remembering before sinking two hundred hours into one.
