The game has been added to the official school reading list in Poland and is, therefore, free to download!

After downloading the 2.7GB file, you can install the game. Upon the first launch, it will be available in Polish, but the official files include a few localization packs. You might be able to apply them to your game and change its language.

Exactly.

The developers of that game have been incredibly generous by offering 100% of sales to victims of war at different times. It's also been bundled so many times, so you can pick it up for peanuts.

According to OP, it is also on their site that sharing the link on places like this is strictly prohibited. Yet he does it anyway? Sigh

Is there any certainty, that with this game, polish government won't install some additional stuff? I completely distrust them, so it's an honest question.

It's to be used as a learning tool so they made it available to students and teachers for free. How many times it was bundled has no bearing whatsoever on how useful it is as a learning tool. And SG userbase is not representative of the general population. Tons of people don't even have a Steam account and even more don't know at all about bundles.

This offering isn't even aimed at you or me, frankly it shouldn't even have been posted here because of the disclaimer on the page.

И что вы предлагаете? Я это понимаю. Уехать не могу. Остается только вариант суицида, но я вроде как после долгих размышлений пришла к выводу, что выпиливаться все-таки не буду, вот хрен им, они будут только рады, если все россияне, которые против войны, повыпиливаются. Я участвовала в протестах бесконечные 10 лет, а теперь я враг. "Как бы там ни было". И что дальше-то? Здесь все, у кого больше одной извилины и не атрофировавшаяся окончательно совесть, и так чувствуют себя виноватыми, а до остальных не достучаться.

I hope that the majority of people reading this thread understand that taking advantage of this offer is just wrong.

It sounds like this shouldn't be promoted outside of the target audience, and I'm pretty sure most of us are not part of that target audience. Pretty nice of them tho.
BTW, why is a game considered reading material? It's not a visual novel or text adventure.

As you so eloquently included in your post:

The game "This War of Mine" is available only to students and teachers in Poland who want to use the game in Polish language, ethics or social studies lessons. Any further sharing, reselling, commercial use, or posting on file sharing sites is strictly prohibited.

This isn't intended for the general public, and as such this forum isn't a place where it should be shared.
