If you know others games that was free on steam, and now cost money, let me know here :)

P.S : If you want to send me proof / want to be sure that the game was permanent free, you can easely check it by : 1. Right click on the game name on you're steam list - 2. Go to "Manage" - 3. Check if you have " Remove from Account " ( !!! but don't click on it !!! )

Good idea for a thread! Will you also be adding games that will become paid in the future? (If there is public information beforehand)

As a suggestion, a minor change I'd make to the table is to include a link to the steam.db page for each game so we can check the local price, maybe by turning the price into a clicky.

Not native English speaker, so could be completely wrong, but shouldn't it be something like "Became paid"?

You're sure of that ? Game was at a 0 € during a few days on Mars 26th, 2020 on a limited time sale, but only add games that was permanent free and get a paid price after.

If the game was free, this was before May 2014 ...

Release date was May 16, 2014 at 10% off, and there's no 'Free on Demand' package listed on SteamDB so while I can't say for certain it's never been free to play (aside from the free weekends) I also see no evidence that it has.
