so its a typical free during weekend promo or you get to keep it forever? well just asking since it does not mention on steam page

I take it you're recommending it? Why? What do you like about it? Just curious... I've been thinking, but it's priced too high right now for me to take a chance on it with the limited things I've seen.-wraith808 (August 28, 2015, 01:23 PM)

This game gets mentioned a lot and is consistently on the top sellers' list on Steam. Among the praises are "attentive devs" and "survival world done right". Btw, I don't own this game yet but this free weekend seemed like a good time to give it a try. So after about an hour during this free weekend promo, it certainly has piqued my interest, whether I continue or not is another thing though.

I had a pretty lackluster first experience with the game earlier today. So far I'm not impressed. This is one of the main reasons why I avoid Early Access games. They basically make you pay them for the privilege of beta (or alpha) testing their game.
But I'll try to get some more play time in this weekend and see if I'm at all interested in the game once the promo ends.

"Free weekend" generally means it's like a free rental. Other terms such as "Free for 48 hours" usually mean free forever if you get it within the special offer time period.
And just in case that didn't clear things up for you, in the case of ARK this weekend it means free during the weekend promo.

And this is the reason I usually don't try them... unless I'm thinking of imminently purchasing, or the size is small. Downloading a demo to the tune of multi-GB downloads just doesn't seem productive to me.

It's an initial 6GB download and like any online-only game, it's best to play with people you know rather than a bunch of strangers from the internet.
