gog: claim discounted free games instead of just giveaway (no longer used?)

Several times I could not get the discounted free games properly.
This link is probably a good place to try.

This link doesn't include Betrayer for example, which used to be a paid game and recently came back as free game. That's probably why its not showing up with the discounted filter.

Got it, this link can only get free games after discounts, not completely free games

Another possibility: https://www.gog.com/partner/free_games

I wonder if the link doesn't only show permanently free games. Hell Division, for example, was not recognized a few weeks ago and is now a paid game again.

I think the current gog script isn't effective anymore. I just noticed I haven't had any games claimed in nearly a month and visiting the URL used to claim the games directly has the message {"message":"Giveaway has ended"} even though there is currently a game discounted to free

I think this method isn't reliable anymore and would be better to use the link @Rexexe provided to check for the list of free games and visit the URLs to claim them (similar to Epic Games script)

Ah, I thought there just hasn't been a giveaway in some time. You assume they stopped using the banner on the front page altogether?

We can integrate the free discounted games from the link as well.

I follow Wario64 on twitter/discord and the last one that had a direct link to redeem was this game on June 26. After that, there were 3-4 more games these past few weeks that did not work with that direct link so it's possible they don't use it anymore? I think there have also been other games prior that would show up in the discounted to free list, but not in the giveaway (based on searching Wario64's posts) so I definitely recommend integrating that new link as it would capture a lot more free games.

Current GOG code doesn't try to redeem

https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideDLCs=true&hideOwned=true
which skips DLCs that you could claim but also leaves out every dlc where you don't own the base game

https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true&onlyDlcForOwned=true on top will bring the DLCs for all owned games.

Not all free things will get a giveaway banner. Some will be simply for free in the store.
