    This reeks of automated bot articles to boost clicks. The games are not a “surprise”, they are just free games, as in “free to play”. These are not deals or 100% of discounts. Just games that are always free.

    They basically grab the posts from the Twitter account, frame it as “a surprising deal”, and farm some free clicks.

    Here’s a perfect place to track actual 100% off deals: https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/

      These articles are often click bait with very click bait headlines, I try sometimes to edit them but I have not always the time. I just wanted to highlight some free games on steam games on steam, that is why I have added direct links in the post.

        Understandable. If I were in your shoes, I would just grab the original tweet and post that lol. Skip the unnecessary middle man.
