Quick late night deal for night owls.
It require a reddit account and that you send a PM to the GOG rep for a free key (requires GOG account also).
You will need to redeem this key in a 20 minute window (starts at midnight AEST). This is to test their infrastructure with everyone hammering their servers.
All credit to the rep on reddit for this:
Greetings, patient gamers!
With so many big changes on GOG.com, we really want to put some extra pressure on our backend infrastructure to see how well it fares against an Internet-ful of users trying to redeem this 2-year-old remake of an 18-year-old game (talk about patient).
There's no better way to do that than with a giveaway, so we'll be handing out 8,000 free copies of Rise of the Triad 2013 - the modern first person shooter gone completely, unapologetically old-school.
The game will be getting a massive update, including GOG Galaxy[1] compatibility, that is currently in beta mode (that you can help test), but will be fully available as soon as all details are ironed out by the good guys at Interceptor Entertainment.
The rules are pretty simple:
Send us a PM http://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=GOGcom&subject=CANTALOUPE[2] (to this account) - use the keyword CANTALOUPE in the subject line (yes, in all caps).
We reply as immediately as technically possible with a code (one per person).
You should redeem your code in the 20-minute redemption window at gog.com/redeem[3] between 2pm and 2:20pm GMT
Yup, we want all of you to redeem your codes at the same time and really give our infrastructure a workout!
For reference: 2pm GMT (and the start of the redemption window) is:
7am PDT (U.S. West Coast)
10am EDT (U.S. East Coast)
3pm BST (London)
4pm CEST (Paris/Berlin)
5pm MSK (Moscow)
11pm JST (Tokyo)
12am AES (Sydney)
