THQ gives away free Metro: 2033 copies to promote Last Light

Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/13/2012 08:57 AM | 23 comment(s) ]

In an effort to promote Metro: Last Light, game publisher THQ is giving away free copies of the game's predecessor, Metro: 2033. All you have to do to is like the Metro fan page on Facebook and follow the instructions to receive a key to download Metro: 2033 for free via Steam. Be quick though because the offer expires on Sunday.

Considering Metro 2033's horsepower requirements, I'm not sure this is such a good idea

I think this is a smart move. How many copies of Metro 2033 can they be moving at this point? Anybody who had any interest in this title already has the game. By offering it for free, they are likely to grab a few fence-sitters who may find themselves surprisingly attracted to what this game has to offer, and in turn, generate interest in Last Light.

Lol, fail!

Oh well, as long as you got it at a good/discounted price it can't be that bad...

I bought Metro 2033 ages ago, barely played it, for some reason I just can't get into it! I really want to though, and Last Light looks pretty good too. I may have to try playing it again for a third time, maybe I'll see the light lol

Is there someway a "non facebook" user can get in on this? NO, don't reply with "sign up for facebook". That ain't happening.

Can't you make a bogus profile?

Grabbed my copy.
I bought it a long time ago, but this way it goes on my steam account. Which i never did with my old copy.
This one seems to come with all the DLC that i've noticed.

Thank you Mr Hagedoorn

I guess I could but I closed my account over a year ago for good reason. I'm sure this will pop up on web somewhere.
