Hey everyone,

We’re coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I’d do some giveaways to celebrate that.

It’s semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

  1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
  2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
  3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

For the gifted games / gift cards it’ll be capped at $30 – after all, we’re talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that’s cool too.

I’m going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you’d like to get (I’d prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just “#1” ).

I’ll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!


UPDATE 4/30/24:

This contest is officially over!

The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

@Klanky@sopuli.xyz

@Dymonika@beehaw.org

Congrats!

I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

    (Direct steam gift is more than fine)

    Project Zomboid. Big zombie fan, but somehow never ended up with the game. However (given I’m old af) I still remember the day the dev announced his laptop or whatever with all the code for the game on it had been lost or stolen, back in its real early dev days. Amazing the game was ever able to come out, let alone I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about it.

    And ty for the giveaway! <3

    Physical game gift card. I don’t like the idea of digital ownership, especially with the garbage that some companies have been pulling with rescinding digital ownership.

    I’ve been interested in The Surge or the sequel, or maybe DOOM Eternal.

    Physical steam.

    I’ve been waiting on a lot of windows games I could never play, but I’m planning on getting a steam deck sometime soon.

    Option 1. I am a console gamer and have been itching to play Pokemon Legends Arceus. Price hasn’t come down much… but that seems to be how Nintendo rolls.

    Option 3 ! Steam does have a digital gift card option however, but i can see the appeal and compatibility of the first one. Thanks ! Actually my birthday, but i wouldn’t want to cheat the chances at winning that giveaway.

      Apparently I hadn’t checked in a while, because Steam used to not have digital gifts, I swear! But Yay, I do see they offer gifting digital codes now.

      Thanks for the info!

    Aye, I’ve always seen these things and never have a chance… Maybe that changes today

    Edit - didn’t realize I should mention a game. I’ve been eyeing fallout 4 for modding and it’s hecking cheap atm

    Congrats! That’s so kind of you! In the rare event that I’d be picked I’ll save you some $$ I’d like to try Dave the Diver given the overwhelming positive feedback (especially on the Steam Deck).

    Wouldn’t mind a direct game gift on steam! Been playing a few games my wife owns, mostly Power Wash Simulator, but would be good to be able to play when she’s using her library!

    Probably would have to be RimWorld, people who love that game seem to really love it. Nearly pulled the trigger a couple of times.

      I live rimworld, my wife is a massive sims fan and I bought rim world for her and she was hooked.

      I was hooked for weeks but my brain gets hooked on things for a few weeks then it moves on to the next thing like a adhd riddled child
