PC gamer protip for notifications about giveaways on your phone. With IFTTT (free app that links APIs), use Reddit's applet for getting alerts for company name mentions configured to "subreddit:gamedeals free". Bunch of people post links to sales on that sub, including free stuff, and this way I don't have to proactively visit it. Picked up a few titles this way so far thanks to the "free" company getting mentioned 😉
