Freebies, one thread for all vs single threads

Takelot

I don't see many threads about free games. What do you think about creating one thread, where people will link to the giveaway with a short description (e.g. game title, maybe required actions, like twitter account or browser plugin) instead of creating new thread each time?

One thread because it's better to maintenance - even if we have a tag "freebies", it's not looking good when we have one thread for one, any freebie (and freebies can be 5 a day). Also I'm not really interested in any freebie that is currently offered (I mean about this +1 crap games created by these lazy devs who are using stolen assets and selling multiple times one game) so finally I'd suggest to make one thread for any +1 freebies and if sometimes eg. Humble will give a "worth-a-try" freebie (like Half Life 3 😉 ), create new thread

In my opinion one thread will be the best option. Less spam topics, less searching current freebie.

Maybe one thread for each source of freebies? E.g. thread for:

Steam freebies
GOG freebies
HB freebies
gleam.io freebies
WhosGamingNow freebies
etc.

better one thread for all though it's better to divide based only on DRM like
steam, gog, origin, and uplay

There is a whole forum section dedicated on freebies....... single discussion would only make this place awkward...

Separate threads in their own category. It's better to see from the thread what the freebie is rather than open the thread again and again to find nothing of interest.

I know a forum (and I am sure many of us know it), where single freebie thread already works and ... it just works, nothing more to add. Very good idea of the one who created this thread is that it is no-comment thread. Only title + link (+optional posting author notes). Nothing more. This way thread stays clean and you can quickly check if there is anything new / anything interesting without having to skip everyone's comments on this or that offer. Another good idea was moving all those comments to separate thread. So ...

TL;DR
Single thread with links only + Single thread with comments only
this solution really works.

I prefer one thread for each freebie. I think its "cleaner"

Yeah, would love to see something like that. Aslong as the free games are not from those shady sites.
