A strategy game called Eco Inc. Save the Earth plans to become a paid title on Steam soon, giving fans a short window to add it to their libraries while it remains free. Some free Steam games start as F2P and later switch to a paid model, but they usually let players who claimed them for free keep playing. The same is now happening with Eco Inc. Save the Earth, and anyone who claims it before the deadline will keep it permanently at no cost.
Eco Inc. Save the Earth is a casual strategy game that, as its title suggests, focuses on protecting the planet. Backed by the Green First organization, the game also teaches players about real environmental dangers and ecological threats that could harm life on Earth. Once it becomes a paid game on Steam, the developers will use part of the profits to support charities that share the cause.
