Unfortunately the article came a bit late, the promotion is already over. The game seems really good however.

It's basically a good knockoff of Lethal Company, made by Landfall.

It seems like this would break some EU and Australian consumer laws. Though I‘m not sure if „for free“ counts as a discount.

Why would it be illegal to give away your game for 24 hours?

Interesting take, but I don't think the argument would hold water in court.

Do you remember what the specific EU regulation/directive is?
