    Nonsense. Spalls never gets this kind of thing wrong. He has a
    spreadsheet.

    Show us this spreadsheet please. ;)

    Its too large for the internet.

    TWSS! How big? ;P

    * Deceive, Inc.
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deceive-inc
    James Bond (spies!) crossed with Hitman (disguises)
    by way of "No One Lives Forever" (humor) and "The
    Ship" (multiplayer). Sneak into installations, disguise
    yourself as anyone, and exfiltrate with the secrets...
    before anyone else beats you to the punch. An
    interesting idea whose implementation doesn't seem up
    to the task.

    This is another duplicate, first offered by Epic in
    July of this year, so you may already have it in your
    library. I guess Fortnite money must be running low
    if they're recycling freebies this quickly.



    Bummer; no new game for me. I guess this will be a awful week after
    all. But maybe next week will be better (at least on the free game
    front. See you in seven days!

    Huh? I somehow never claimed this game!

    They need to bring back No One Lives Forever franchise. Um, not Contract JACK! :P

    Apologies. It was a freebie on Epic... but it was given away through
    Amazon Prime.

    I do! ;-)

    But since all I record is wat service the game is on, and whether I
    paid for it or not, it sort of gets hard to keep track of all these
    freebies. I ought to add a column indicating the source of the
    freebies if not the service itself.

    Why must collecting thousands of free games require such effort?!?!?

    Because nothing is free.
