Consortium has a free Steam weekend—and you get to keep the game

Immersive, open-ended sci-fi RPG Consortium is having a free weekend on Steam, much like dozens of other games before it.

on Steam, much like dozens of other games before it. I rarely bother to engage with those, because I don't have much time to play games at the weekend, and because I can't be bothered to download several gigs of game only to have to delete it all a couple of days later. The Consortiumone is different. Not only because I already own it, but because this is a Steam free weekend with...a difference.

Download Consortium before the free weekend runs out on Monday, and you'll get to keep it forever . (Or until Steam eventually dies and takes all your games with it, obviously.) What is Consortium? It's a massively ambitious RPG set on a big aircraft, where you have quite a lot of choice in how to approach your secretive mission. An even more ambitious sequel has been announced—a sequel that's heading to Kickstarter tomorrow.
