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.
- Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
- Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
- 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!
You must log in or register to comment.
I don’t want to enter as I have a big enough backlog as it is, but I wanted to say congrats on reaching a year!!
Ditto!
Thanks!
It’s more like thanks to everyone who has been posting and commenting in the last year and keeping the tone/mood of this place chill, inviting and friendly, which is all I wanted.
Can I donate $60 bucks to double amount of winners? I don’t have have much time to game, but I thought this was such a kind way to help out the community that Id like to help out as well.
That would be really awesome of you!
After I’ve picked two winners, we can have you pick two more and you can send them the codes directly as well.
We can make it the giveaway part 2.
When we get to announcing winners I’ll message you!
Hey thanks for making the deadline so long, feels in tune with how Lemmy functions (In the off chance I win, roll the dice again)
(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
That game is one of my favorites. I have over a thousand hours in it. Good choice!

Would it be more appropriate to wait until the last day to comment?
Or perhaps commenting asap so that you have to wait the longest after commenting.
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
I don’t want any games just dropping in to say that this it’s nice your doing this for the community cheers.
This is fun! Been thinking of trying out Persona 4 or 5 as I’ve heard great things about the series in general, but never ended up taking the plunge. I’m sure there are other games from my wishlist I’d also like, but I’m not at my computer right now.
I’d probably do option #3, if I were to win. Best of luck, everyone!
I‘d totally take a Steam gift card. Would probably grab Hi-Fi Rush on sale and a few smaller indie titles like Brotato/Journey etc. Good luck to everyone!
Physical. I’ve been waiting to buy Elden Ring!
Can that be obtained under 30 dollars tho?
I think it has been, on sale! Also waiting for Sekiro or wanted to play Dead Cells, Celeste, or Hollow Knight
Well yeah technically there are several regions where Elden Ring was under 30 eur. Not in the euro area tho :(
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.
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.
If I’m picked, I’d like Bug Fables, GOG version 😄 - This bad boy’s been sitting on my wishlist forever and looks like a truly lovely game.
I would ask for X4, but it only gets under 30 dollars when on sale, and only the base game. It has 4 expansions now, so I’ll probably buy the complete edition later this year. Besides, I still have to give Rebel Galaxy and other space games a first try. please don’t ask about the rest of my backlog
I’d really like to try Subnautica. I love survival games and my gf has been trying to get me to try it but I have never really gotten around it. Steam gift would be great. Thank you!
Subnautica took me a few goes to properly get into, but once I was in, oh boy was I in
It really helps to have good spawns for technology. If you don’t have decent ones on a first run through it can feel like you’re stuck in a rut pretty fast.
Once you know what you’re looking for, though, it makes life a lot easier.
It probably didn’t help that the first couple of tries were prerelease. Finally gave it a full play through a year or two ago
Steam!
I would buy (and play) the heck out of Stray.
