S2 Games
Phoronix Media, in collaboration with S2 Games are giving away free beta-testing keys for their much-hyped upcoming Heroes of Newerth title. They started a week ago and had 400 to give away but S2 was nice enough to supply more, bringing the number up to over 1000. Phonorix reported yesterday it still had a few keys left and that the give-away would end in the next 24-48 hours, so you better hurry if you want one – I got mine this morning.
Details about the game are sketchy but there is a lot of hype around it. I took a look this morning but I can’t tell you much because of the ToS, so seeing for yourselves is the only option. All I can say is that it’s worth it!
S2 Games is one of the few companies that release full Linux native binaries (both 32 and 64 bit). Other games by them include the popular and free Savage 2.
Phoronix Media is the largest Internet media company devoted to enriching the Linux hardware experience and catering its content to Linux gamers and computer enthusiasts. Their crown jewel is Phonorix.com, which features more than 1,400 featured articles and 2,200 news postings. Other components include the Forums, Phoronix Test Suite, Phorogit (git hosting of the open source ATI flgrx driver) and many more.
To get your key check out the Phoronix articles here, here and here, or go directly to their forum thread and post a request. Enjoy!
Update: It seems Heroes of Newerth is also on Facebook, where it says they will also be giving out keys to their fans. If you missed the Phoronix give-away, have a look there.

Lucas, I’m not the one giving out the keys, Phoronix and S2 are. If you read any of the Phoronix articles I linked to you’d know to reply to their forum thread and they may give you one. They had not closed the thread as of time of writing this, you should hurry!
PS: I’ve removed your email address from the comment so spammers don’t pick it up.

I don’t have any keys right now, but I’m trying to get my hands on some.
Oddly enough most of the solicitors are running that 9 year old OS called WinXP about which using the word outdated is putting it mildly.
Do you actually think I’d give out keys to Win people on a blog about Linux?
