Note: I haven't claimed this deal since I purchased the game years ago. Apparently there is a little bit of effort to claim the freebie. You have to create an account with Amplitude Studios and link it to your Steam account. The actual link to claim the game seems to be: https://community.amplitude-studios.com/profile/me/rewards?r…
The Steam page is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/289130/ENDLESS_Legend/ . There are 12 DLCs for the game, currently 70% to 80% off. Like Paradox, they have decided to make profits off the addons and give the base game away for free. Free to play is a viable business model; Genshin Impact and Fortnite generate lots of profit.
Marketing hype: "Explore fantastic lands.

I have claimed the freebie by linking my Steam account. But although it shows in my library it still shows available to purchase.Did anyone else got the same?
