Are gleam.io giveaways really [FREE] or should they just be tagged [ZERO COST]?

Closed

You have to join nine Steam groups, visit six Greenlight pages, visit seven Facebook pages, sign up for Instagram (because let's face it, you probably don't have one already)... and then you get a key for Bad Rats or Unknown Battle or something. I wouldn't call that free. Zero cost, sure, but not free.

Sooth

As most of the comments have noted, you're only pushing towards confusing things further.
The current popular approach of "[Free] Gleam.io X actions YGame" works beautifully. It gets instant-tag-recognition from the [Free] and then follows it up immediately with the relevant clarifications.
Add in the game title, and you've got nearly* every bit of key information you could ask for, right in the title.

*Listing the publisher can also be useful at times, when it comes to scamware/shovelware developers like Digital Homocide. :X
