You can use this FOSS tool to automatically claim those games.

Some even work pretty well on Linux using the Heroic Launcher.
What the hell, I had no idea such a tool existed... I do not intend to use it... But it is so cool regardless.
That's actually pretty awesome, thanks!
Does that still work? Last updated over a year ago and the free games are usually protected by some rather creative captchas.
lol, it was last updated 3 days ago
Never had to fill a captcha to get one of the free games
I didn't until I started using a VPN.
I've never seen captchas like that before, I wonder what kinda weird shit the next generation of captchas will be once we've trained the machines to solve these?
Works for Prime and GOG. Epic sometimes works outside the docker container, but sometimes you still get a CAPTCHA still. There's an active discussion for fixing Epic inside a docker container.
I used it on deck a few months ago
.......are you Jesus?
Thank you, shared with my friends who claim free games!
