    No really - If someone redeems these GOG to see what they are, nobody
    else can get them, right?

    I just use https://cryptii.com/pipes/rot13-decoder/ to see their titles and look up the games. Meh, I will pass on them.

    To claim the games, you'd need to ROT13 the codes. When you ROT13 the
    codes (using whichever method you prefer*), you'll also decipher the
    name of the games too.

    In this case, the two games are Conarium and Warbreeds.

    But yes, the keys are one-use, so whomever claims it first gets the
    game, and any future attempts fail.





    * You use Forte Agent so you have the feature built into your
    newsreader. IIRC, you just need to highlight the text and press ctrl+3

    I did use Agent and clicked on the link which went to GOG with a
    webpage with the code in the redeem text box. However, I did not see
    the name of the game anywhere. Didn't want to click the Redeem
    button.

    Applying ROT13 to rms's post (I think it's safe to assume that
    by now the keys have been claimed so no need worry about
    bot-snatching)we get:

    Conarium https://www.gog.com/redeem/SQKQ627AB8D91E0BA7
    ^^^^^^^^
    WarBreeds https://www.gog.com/redeem/XMJN4BA811FAF56A49
    ^^^^^^^^^
    ^

    The names of the games are right there.

    Only then copy the URLs if the games look interesting.
