    I just joined a site that allows you to earn Steam and Origin games (I noticed one bundle was MUCH cheaper on Origin, so do check!) as well as in game items, Bitcoins and other such stuff!

    You can earn coins to spend on these items by doing tasks such as playing Flash games, watching videos, completing tasks (I assume they do surveys as they're linked to Peanut Labs... like Swagbucks), shopping etc.. I've played a few Flash games so far... some weren't bad, actually!

    Here is my referral link. I'd appreciate it if people would use it to sign up, as I get a kickback on some of your tasks.

    http://www.tremorgames.com/?ref=789591

    Here are a few examples of costs:

    Bioshock Infinite 5400 coins
    Return to Castle Wolfenstein 1800 coins
    Portal 2 - The Final Hours DLC 450 coins

    After watching 4 videos and playing 3 games, I am on 106 coins.

    Enjoy!

    I guess you are being given gifts for generating ad revenue?

    Sounds like those awful Ponzi scheme referrer codes. I don't even know if this is a sustainable market model to begin with, unless they get incredible money from advertising.

    Half of me wants to call bullshit.

    Half of me thinks might be legit because of who posted it.

    Half of me is still weary.

    Half of me doesn't know basic fractions. :p

    Yup, there's advertising, of course. Fairly unobtrusive, though - and the games aren't too bad! The site design is a bit bland, granted!

    Even if I get tired of trying to save up for a full-priced game, I should easily be able to get a cheap game out of it, which is not bad! I barely did anything since posting (played 2 games, I think) and I'm up to 162 coins.

    Considering bioshock infinite was like a fiver in the steam sale, it seems like a lot of hassle for so little.

    Have you actually redeemed anything from this site yet? Many like it manage to seem legitimate enough up until you actually try to claim your reward.

    It's an example. Websites like this don't base their "prices" on flash sales. Sure, it's only a £20 game usually - maybe a poor example.

    Anyway, it's totally up to you - I offer it if you want it. If you don't, then it's pretty pointless bitching about it, no? ;)

    Your threshold for what is deemed bitching seems to have lowered recently!

    Got my first game off the site with no hassle. Codes redeem within 48 hours.... I got mine less than 24 hours later, certainly (I checked for a couple of hours, then checked the next day).

    As stated before, I played a few games, got "coins" and redeemed them. Better than paying for the game!

    A lot of the offers aren't applicable for me because I live in Asia. :(

    Yeah, sadly that's the problem with sites with offers. Swagbucks only works in a few countries.

    You should still be able to play the games for achievements, though - as long as the site lets you sign up :)

    So many complaints. Look, nothing is free, so it's obviously for clicks or whatever.

    Changed the title to prevent the reporting of this thread.

    I prefer to wait for sales, but not everyone has cash and I guess if this is legit it might be worth someone's time.
