You need to like THQ's Facebook page to get the code which can then be redeemed on Steam. This is their Facebook page. The event's going to run till the 16th.

Not being a resident of the countries that this offer is for, I'm in a bit of a pickle. Could anyone who already owns the game be kind enough to send a key my way?
Oh it was always free.
... I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake; I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am a Splinter Cell.

Practically free already there.
Seems THQ is doing a big pre marketing push for the sequel Get 2033 in more people's hands for cheap.
It's already pretty much free as part of the humble bundle. Why not just buy it there for as little as you please?
Um...have you heard of this thing called the humble THQ bundle? Pay at least $1 and get Metro 2033 along with a whole bunch of other fantastic games, rather than arsing around with this.Originally Posted by Shane
Well, I don't own a credit card so I have to make all my purchases via retail anyway.
@karthink Aye, there's a new Last Light gameplay video out too.

I don't have a facebook account, could anyone who already owns it get it for me, please thank you? There's no way I'll be buying a game I won't be able to play, but for free I can at least try.
More THQ desperation?
Yes, they really should just give up all hope and close up shop. That would be for the best.
If they give out their whole catalogue for free, then they have my permission to close.
Spend 5 minutes to make a facebook account. It doesn't even have to be your name. Hell, if you are really afraid of facebook spam, use a throwaway email or just set up a filter to send anything with the word "facebook" in it to your spam folder.
I have two facebook accounts. The one I use to socialize with friends who refuse to use emails, google chat, or google+. And the one I use for syncing with Steam and all the other fun offers and unlocks.
Steam: Gundato
PSN: Gundato
If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.
Hardly. Ignoring all of the people who would lose their jobs, THQ are doing a great job of building up good-will, and we're benefiting from that.
*edit*
I do however find it completely baffling that THQ are giving Metro away for free while the humble bundle is on. I find it equally baffling that people are asking on a forum for someone to go and retrieve a free Metro key for them, being unwilling to spend $1/create a facebook account.

You're not good at picking up sarcasm are you?
Ah I shouldn't be so tough, you look new around here. I was being entirely fictitious with my statement in response to Mohor who has a habit of saying very silly things around here. I completely agree what THQ are doing a great job of drumming up good-will and interest in their games and I strongly believe this and the humble bundle they've put out are two great ideas.
Hah, yeah, sorry about that. I've seen some completely sincere comments made to that effect, believe it or not.
Incidentally, i think you meant that you were being facetious...
I prefer the term waggish
Actually, liking something on facebook is much less than free. That's a cost I'd not usually bother with... but as I've lost all care on facebook I don't care to tarnish it's pages with my mouseclicks.
That's the first time I've been on facebook in weeks. I thought they de-activated your account after a while or something. Was I lied to?
They NEVER deactivate your account. They may reserve the privileged to take over your identity after 3 weeks though.
Programmers in charge of story and writing as usual.

... their punishment must be more severe than doling out free Metro? :-)
