Want another free game? If you have Amazon Prime you can now claim a free copy of Prey from Arkane Studios / Bethesda Softworks with their GOG partnership.
This is done through Prime Gaming, where they regularly put up different games for members to claim. Quite useful to keep an eye on it, as sometimes there's a good few gems in there to get. You can claim Prey on it for another 19 days and since it's with GOG you get easy access to it.

You can also still claim a copy of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition with GOG as well for another 14 days.
Want help managing games you've got on GOG? The likes of Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris help with that.
There's various other games on Prime Gaming but they all need the Amazon Games app for Windows. There's no really ideal way for that on Linux / Steam Deck just yet but work is in progress to add support for it into Heroic. You could also try the work in progress Nile, which Heroic will be using.

Quoting: dibzWell, it's the publisher's fault in this case, it's actually a pretty well-known story. Bethesda forced Arkane Studios to use the name Prey for Prey (2017), despite them being very much against it.
A very Zenimax thing to do. I don't think they have ever shown any signs that they cared about the industry one bit. They acquired Bethesda to abuse the name up to a point that almost nobody seems to remember that Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks have nothing to do with each other. There is a strong indication that they had only one motive: create as much appearance of future revenue so that they can be sold for a high price before everything implodes.
I wonder how all these "free" games are affecting the future of the games industry. I have so many free games (and quite a few are actually good) that I technically don't have to spend any money on them to keep myself entertained. And I'm certainly not the only one. I wouldn't be surprised if this style of marketing has some long term repercussions.
Half Life 2 x (Deus ex human rev. + Doom 3)
I am liking it so far.
Too many games on the go right now though, it's like having all my birthdays at once, or something :)
