Playfire

Basically it tracks your Steam activites (what you play, your achievements...) and tries to have a social aspect.

It's getting popular because they give you free store credit (on GMG) when you play and collect achievements in games they pick. Take at look at an example.

You complete steam achievements on their currently selected games, and in turn you earn credit to spend on GMG. It's still in beta and therefore buggy. The way it works is that the games available to earn credit from are usually the ones on sale at GMG, so it increases their sales. I have earned ~£5 through doing very little, and used it to purchase 3 games, so it's entirely legit, and yes, it is free.

Call the police, the worst beta software I've ever encountered.

It's some kind of social gaming platform made by Green Man Gaming. You register there, sync your steam account.

They regularly have "tasks" on the site, if you get an achievement in a game during the promotion (assuming you haven't got it already), you get rewards ranging between 0.10 - 0.25 GBP, which you can redeem at a purchase at Green Man Gaming webshop.

The pro is that you don't even need to download a client, just register and the system tracks your steam activity, I got 2.5 GBP as of now and I only found out about it 2 weeks ago.

However there seems to be some problem with syncing your balance with GMG site, even on the Playfire site it's bugged. I haven't really used it but it's a semi-positive service.

"lots of topic" already answered this as well

Best site ever, free game on gmg Rush Bros and plus free 6 euros credit to spend in gmg via playfire by doing achievements in Rush Bros

I like the software, bugs are to be expected of course!
It's a neat Idea and I'll surely use it and test it :D

I downloaded the software but never actually used it. It's easier to just open up the Playfire site page on browser. It's faster even, and you still get your achievement rewards regardless.

Yes it's free, and its a beta so there are a few bugs, you play games on steam like you would normally do and it tracks them a few hours to a day later, and they post new rewards (achievements and play for the first time) to go after, if anyone don't show up on your account or credit you all you have to do is send in a ticket with proof and wait and eventually they will get to you. Also you don't need to download the program, and follow the same rules on steam, no cheating, some people thought they were smart and would remove achievements and then re-add them and the ones that got caught can no longer use playfire and were reported to steam. But all in all its a pretty good service that gives back a few dollars for playing some games :)

Playfire is your friend, mate.

playfire is love, playfire is life

how much does it take to recognize achivements?

I've got 6 euros for free :3

Basically, you sign-up, link your accounts, etc. and then each day or so they'll have a list of achievements to do that they'll reward GMG credit for. They'll usually have rewards for new releases, but also do a lot of rewards for older games too, including some community voted ones where the winning game gets more rewards added than the loser. Each set usually runs for a week, sometimes two.

It's great. I have ~$44 USD in my GMG balance right now, with more on the way when it updates, and that's after starting with an empty balance, using no money out of my own pocket and buying a few games. Thank you GBP exchange rate.

It's still in Beta, so sometimes their tracking is slow or the GMG balance doesn't update properly, but so far they've been pretty quick to fix any problems I've had after sending in a support ticket.

I was nearly about to forget Playfire. BUT i received my shitty 7 pounds a month ago ^^ I feel cool tat-ata-ta--ta ifeel nice lalalala
