This script does automate the activation of free packages (games, movies, DLC, etc.) on Steam. It does register as much as possible free packages to you Steam account. The regularly updated database contains more than 27,000 packages that will be added and available in the library forever after activation.

Why it take so long to complete the script?
The Steam API is limited to 50 package activations per hour.
Have a look into these instructions if you do already own many steam packages.
Why not all available packages will be registered to you account?
Some of packages like DLC, require to activate first base game first. Some can be not available on you region, or have other restrict.
Can i be banned for use this script?
No, this is Steam built-in feature. This script does not violate service terms of usage. Use this at your own risk, the author assumes no responsibility.
What's the point of this?
If some of this free packages will be removed or will be paid at future, you still be able to play them for free. A few games when installed give you +1 Games on your profile.
How often does the package list get updated?
The package list gets updated every hour via GitHub Actions. This does have the disadvantage that it costs me something (Proxy & Server provider) but I'll try to keep it up.
How do I choose the steam accounts the script should use?
The script will use on default all steam account which are connected to your ASF installation. It is possible to configure it in the config.json by changing the IPC → account to the name of your accounts inside of ASF.
Default: "accounts": ["ASF"]
Example for configuration: "accounts": ["Louis45", "Louis_45"]
