Steam Is Giving Away $40 MMORPG For Free

A free-to-keep promo on Steam has put Wild Terra 2: New Lands on everyone's radar this weekend. But before you claim this usually-$40 indie MMORPG, you might want to look a little closer at the fine print. Mixed reviews warn that it's a buggy grind with predatory microtransactions and rampant pay-to-win PvP. More critically, its developer, Juvty Worlds, is based out of Saint Petersburg, Russia. This places user data at immediate risk under Russia's federal data-harvesting laws and means any in-game purchases will ultimately fund a sanctioned state economy that is currently at war with Ukraine.
