Get a free copy of Garfield Kart on Fanatical in their huge Black Friday Sale

92% off, am I missing something?
I mean I might get it, it's a good offer, but this is not a giveaway

Edit: apparently sold out

Edit 2: I think main issue was GA being unavailable for my country

They only just sent out the email for it, shows correctly for me at 100% off.

If you grab Garfield, you also get a coupon for another 10% off any Fanatical bundles, minimum spend ~2€.
Coupon expires 31st December 2022 (11:59PM UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, Liam - couldn't say no at that price!

You mean you didn't have Garfield Kart in your library already?

Go fix it now :D

I think I see the problem: Plain regular Garfield Kart is 92% off, whereas the giveaway is for Garfield Kart - Furious Racing.

Go fix it now :D

With this, it's like Garfield Minus Garfield, except with the price.

You also have to link your Steam account to get the free Garfield Kart.

In order to complete your purchase of Garfield Kart - Furious Racing, you need to link your Fanatical account to an Unlimited Steam account. This is an account that has spent over $5.00 USD in the Steam Store.

Still not sure if the site is legit.

That will be to prevent key scrapers, so all the keys don't end up on grey market sites later.

I wouldn't list it on GOL if there was any doubt. It used to be called Bundle Stars, it's been around since 2012.

These are too many requirements to actually get a "free" game that i never wanted. And all these coupons and offers are too much manipulation.

To delete an account there, you have to open a support ticket. They could just have a button for it, but make it hard.

I'm fine paying a few euros more in Steam sale. Supporting Steam (and their linux gaming efforts) is not the worst thing to do.

Interestingly, Fanatical is nowadays owned by Fandom, Inc. The company founded and run by Jimmy Wales (co-founder of Wikipedia)!

This game had perhaps the weirdest review I ever read over on RPS: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/garfield-kart-furious-racing-review

ublock blocks the link for being sus.

It blocks it for being an affiliate link. That's all.

I had a "page not found" error, i have an unlimited steam account and disabled my adblocker, i don't understand why

Somehow, it's keep showing "not found" ☹️

The site is legit, but I don't like this steam account linking bs. Humble does it for some giveaways/deals too, so I just don't claim them. Linking my steam account which has a huge catalog of games to bunch of 3rd party sites...seems like a problem just waiting to happen if one of these sites have a breach or something (I'm not sure how the linking stuff actually works, but I will assume it gives them some control/integration of your steam account, otherwise what's the point).

So in this case, with the game being 92% off, it came out to 63 cents CAD without having to link your account...that's still a good deal so I just chucked them the 63 cents :) You get a code, you redeem the code in the steam, no integration/linking necessary this way, all good :D

The requirements are off-putting for sure; nevertheless I was intrigued -- but then the offer doesn't 'activate' where I live (Turkey); so I'll have to pass.

The redirect links you listed are from an ad tracker company with a bad privacy policy. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but you should just put out the direct link because it's listed on EasyList and 99% of ad blockers use that.

hmm... I'm sure Mr. Wales would agree that the site is mired in too much pointless bureaucratic BS, as though it's run by the gub'mint -- Mr. Wales the libertarian dipshit Ayn Rand fan.

That's not how OAuth works. Doesn't matter if site got breached or became malicious, they don't have access to your account. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi_overview/oauth

GOL is always transparent about that. This is shown above all articles on the site;
