    Nice find, also a note to add you need to be signed in on the web browser not just the steam app.

    I dont get it. Is it in the address
    bar
    javascript:AddFreeLicense(486820)

      Yep. It won't allow pasting javascript: so you'll need to manually type it in, also make sure it doesn't default to search.

    This shows up as A$1.50 when bringing up the game page in Steam app or web browser when logged in. Yet when searching for the game it shows free in the search results.

    Try
    https://steamdb.info/app/1387150/

    Click in "Install" and "Cancel" after and done.

      The game might be transitioning to free to play and is the midst of updating.

      Did you try my method and did it not work?

      • From the steamdb page he linked click on packages and it shows there's 2 marked as free and the one paid one. When you use the add free license JavaScript command it's activating that free to play package for the game. Not sure if it's on purpose or an oversight by the dev that it exists, one of the free ones is marked 5 months ago and one 2yrs ago.

    There is also also another game called "Jack is Missing" it shows free when searching but paid when looking at the game page. It can be added to your Steam library the same way.

    OP just gave us all crabs.

  • The instructions probably only apply to chrome, for firefox: click the menu and "web developer tools" and you can use the console.

  • Hiphopopotamus, how did you figure this out?
    Are there other games this works for??
