Microsoft has finally clapped back at the famous PS4 game share video, but in a very weird way (www.pcgamer.com)

The catch here is that it's a limited run. You can only get a CD-ROM of your public repository between July 2 and July 6, 2026, and supplies are limited. The first 1,000 eligible submissions will receive one copy, and you can only apply for one per person via GitHub's form. Notably, there's no talk of payment on the form, which could imply GitHub are sending these out for free. It seems like eligible users will have to sign up to find out for themselves.

I used my work address, the other info they already have and the phone number wasn't mandatory.

They do say they will delete it after shipping so I doubt it's an issue. I don't trust Microsoft but I also don't think they'd be as blatant as to explicitly state they will do that and then bombard you with marketing.

I don't get any marketing junk at work so I'll soon know if that's what they've done!
