Dead Man's Draw

You need to own one of the following games:

Now to get the game:

  1. Go to https://www.stardock.com/ and login with your Steam account. Enter your email and validate it.
  2. Start any of the games and the Stardock game launcher opens. Look for a Free Game button which will open a page on the Stardock website https://prnt.sc/qwct6j. Alternative without the need to install any of the games go to https://www.stardock.com/games/promotions?providerappid=<appid>&promoid=freedmd&providertypeid=2&providerid=<steamid>. Replace <steamid> with your steamID64 and <appid> with one of the app ids that you own.
  3. Validate your email again and get your Steam key for the game.

The Stardock server is under heavy load. You need to wait a few hours for your validation mails. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion was available for free in December 2018 so most should own this one. It might be that you need some playtime in the game. Either start the game or use an idler to get that.

You can also get Offworld Trading Company but this is only free multiplayer not full game. So don't make giveaways for the full game. Discussion

[edit] updated with the tips provided in the thread
[edit2] added info about Offworld and server load
[edit3] seems some users have exploited the system and there are no more keys for the rest

Posting this on top so that it can maybe help others (info compiled from the OP + this thread's comments):


Option 1

  1. Start any of these games and the Stardock game launcher opens

  2. Look for a Free Game button which will open a page on the Stardock website https://prnt.sc/qwct6j

  3. Login with Steam, add your email, verify it

  4. Get your Steam key for the game


Option 2 - To skip the game install, one can do the following:

  1. Go to https://www.stardock.com/ and login with your Steam account. Enter your email, validate it.

  2. Go to https://www.stardock.com/games/promotions?providerappid=<appid>&promoid=freedmd&providertypeid=2&providerid=<steamid>
    Rplace <steamid> with your steamID64 (you can use https://steamidfinder.com/ for example)
    Replace <appid> with one of the app ids from the list (you don't need to own the game):

  3. Get your Steam key for the game, validate your email again

For some reason it doesn't work via link, only when you click banner from launcher and it opens link in browser. However once opened you could come back and opt for another key with other email.

Install the game, hit Play, click that link http://prntscr.com/qwct6j, login with steam, add your email, verify it, request the game, verify it again to see the Dead Man's Draw key on their website.

How can I link my Steam account to my current Stardock account? I looked through the Account page but couldn't find anything like that.

Logout and then login again but with steam. Enter your password and it should be linked.

Not work
"Thar be a problem
If you are a first time customer of Stardock Games (through Steam), we request that you first fully open a Stardock Game through Steam. You may have come here directly from our game launcher, but it will help us greatly if you can first enter the game. This will help us validate your credentials with Steam so that we may get you your free copy of Dead Man's Draw.

Once you opened the game, please return to this page and refresh it and you should be able to continue."

Log into stardock site in top right corner via steam first, like you would do with sgtools and steamgifts. Then it should all work.

Already did that, still not working.

Now the free game just disappeared from launcher as well. :)

OK so it wants the game to be running while it's done, not just launched before. Which is bit silly because the launcher vanishes when game starts.

Keep the game open when you do it, that was required for me.

Didn't get it at first.

AppID to be replaced with what game you owned
SteamID to be replaced is your SteamID64 (that's what used in mine)

Guys try to just install game from steam, start it (launcher appears), hit banner in launcher, fill email and follow link from mail, it seems you don't need to mess with register on their site at all.
