Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is your philosophy?
Q: Why do you prefer to play freeware and f2p PC games?
Q: What were the "nasty" trends?
Q: OK, I can understand that. But isn't going only freeware and f2p extreme?
Q: Retail markets have changed on the PC considerably, though. Look at the success of STEAM, GOG and Humble Bundle. Aren't those companies doing great things you can get behind with your $? A lot of games are sometimes for sales under $5 or "pay what you want" with DRM and such.
Q: If I find a game on your list that is not free and legal will you take it down?
Q: Do you ever donate?
Q: I've noticed that when you are on STEAM/Raptr/Xfire you're playing a lot of retails games that are not free...What's up with that?

decent showings from the rpg, fps, and racing genre you have there. i submit to you Albatross18 for a sports game (i think its back to being called Pangya now) for a free Hot Shots golf style game complete with special shots. Give it a look if you haven't already.

Also, while I'm not personally a fan, League of Legends is a free DotA styled game for something in the "kind of an RTS" genre.

You should add Trackmania Forever. The game is awesome. It looks fantastic, plays great, and has a really good built in track creator.

A most intriguing thread. You have my thanks for it, and a recommendation for Beneath a Steel Sky
List looks pretty good so far
You should add Mechcommander 1 and 2 to it at some point
Both are fantastic strategy games and they were made available as free downloads.

Also, thread rated 5 stars :o!

Hey Megazell, did you hear of Battlefield of Heroes? It's a fun-free-online FPS made from EA that totally imitates Team Fortress. I was camping on it this past weekend.
Very nice list. I recommend adding Dwarf Fortress to that list. Dwarf Fortress is a ridiculously deep simulator where you try to build up a fortress and not let your dwarves die (or at least make them die in amusing ways). The graphics are terrible but it will run on most any computer and it's really addicting.

Wow I had no idea some of these games existed!
Thanks for the list! I'll definitely try out Nexuiz since it looks like it features non-stop gameplay, something that I've been missing from the FPS genre for many years now.
