The guys at GarageGames launched their InstantAction.com web site early in 2008 with the idea of offering web browser based 3D action gaming for a fee. While the web site has been in open beta form for some time InstantAction did offer gamers ways to get extra content and games via purchasing "ActionPasses" and map packs.

Well, it seems that era is over. The InstandAction web site has now announced that all of the games currently in the open beta are now completely free to play. People who purchased "ActionPasses" and map packs from the site are eligible for a refund, according to the notice. People who purchased ActionPasses can also now participate in three upcoming InstantAction titles that are now in a private beta test. There is no word as to why GarageGames decided to make the web site free to play.
