    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.
