They will ask you to join their newsletter.

They will ask you to create a login.

They will ask you to link your Steam account.

You can turn it all off later and still get Hotshot Racing for free.

Why not?

It appears to be a cell shaded polygon based racing game similar to the
venerable Virtua Racing VR in appearance. Boasts arcade physics. Looks
pretty good.

Go. Go now. Get free stuff.

Did anyone actually see this? Usually there are responses. E-S was acting
up that day, though.

Yes. I didn't comment just because if I did, I'd say exactly the same
thing as with the last Fanatical freebie: their offering isn't
exciting enough to me to want to link my account. ;-)

But now, since you forced the issue:

Meh. Game's not exciting enough. And I don't like linking my account.
So pass. ;-)

Thank you for the update, though.

I am sorry Zag, I did see your post. I did take this game because my
Fanatical account is already tied to my Steam account but then I
completely forgot about it because the genre this game is tied to is
really boring to me.
