how do i get the free rocket league code when buying 1060
- Thread starter Kurgen
- Start date
It's such a faff to install.
Once you have the code, you have to login to GeForce experience (download it AND create an account) - Not happy about that
Then you go to account, redeem and put in your code.
The you have to link your steam and nvidia account - Not happy about that.
Then eventually you will see the game in your steam library and just hit download.
Seems just a massive data grab on Nvidias behalf. Never had to jump through those hoops with an AMD free game.

Opps I see that now. Well hopefully my advice comes in handy once he gets his code because it is a faff to actually get it.
I really don't see the big deal- but obviously it's up to you and you're free to decide. With every AMD offer I've always had to register and create an AMD account for it, then I bought a second AMD card 6 months later, I had to create a second account as it said I'd already exceeded my number of game redemptions on the original account, even though it was a different promotion. Then when actually trying to get the key, AMD told me that they didn't have any more keys for the headline game (Star Citizen), so they offered me some other rubbish instead. As we all know, nothing is for free and I personally don't care what Nvidia do with the tiny amount of anonymous user data they can gather.
Would be a lot more user friendly if they just gave us a steam code no?
Of course it would. But the same goes for nearly every special offer ever made- why make us type in a voucher code when the discounted price could just be the sticker price, or having ridiculous rebate deals. I'm just saying it's not a big deal and typically takes less than 2 minutes to sort out, and definitely don't see it as being better than AMD's version (based on claiming multiple game offers from them from 2011-2015).
Thats my point exactly. It's the forcing of installing GeForce experience which in turn forced full registration with Nvidia.
Yes it only took 2 mins but I really begrudge having extra software and data capture.
Then remove it afterwards. I agree that they didn't need to make it essential to do it through Geforce experience, but the whole Geforce experience thing is something I read over and over again on forums and I truly don't understand the problem. Nvidia make the card, they are free to make the software that runs it. The fact that they made the GeForce experience an optional component rather than an integral part of the driver install is enough for me. I'd only class it as a step too far if the free games required continued installation of Geforce.
