EDIT January 6, 2024:

All games have been accepted by the winners! Thanks everyone for your participation! I loved reading the different messages and hearing some of the positives, the things that made you feel hopeful, and a bit about some of the games you've played. While I wish I could give you all more copies of games, we will do another giveaway like this in the future.

Stay safe, and happy 2024 ahead!

EDIT January 5, 2024:

Minor edit for posterity. All games have been claimed apart from God of War. Each winner of God of War never responded so I'm working down the list through a randomizer to select the eligible winner for this game. I'll update this post one final time as soon as we have an eligible winner that claims this final giveaway.

EDIT January 4, 2024:

There was no response received for the selected winners for Elden Ring and God of War.

I am re-drawing for both these games and will update this post once these final two game codes are accepted by the new winners.

EDIT January 3, 2024:

All games have been claimed apart from two: Elden Ring and God of War. Considering it is the holiday and there may be some obligations, I'm extending the 24 hour window by another 24 hours. If the winners do not reply by Jan 4, 2024 ~ 9 AM ET, they will be forfeit and I will re-draw new winners.

EDIT January 2, 2024:

Giveaway Ended! All winners have been notified, but they have 24 hours to respond. If the winner does not respond, I will re-draw for the new winner the next day until all codes have been exhausted.

I will also be editing this post periodically to acknowledge who won and if they accepted.

I loved reading all these comments, and thanks for everyone responding here and also sharing an optional story! There's a lot of positivity and hope out there, which makes me also feel the same.

P.S. - I really wish I could afford more games to giveaway to you all, but we can certainly do something like this in the future and perhaps make some kind of collaborative giveaway.

Stay safe, and happy new year ahead!

Entering for Marvel's Spider-man: Miles Morales.

I recently got back into Elite: Dangerous. It's an mmorpg where you're first person flying a spaceship, it's pretty realistic too physics wise except for a top speed in space. But without it, there would be no dogfights. So instead of getting into risking my hard earned virtual money refreshing my skills I decided to risk someone else (significantly less) money by joining a strangers crew. We went bounty hunting for space pirates, the dude was very friendly and all went well. I would launch from a tiny ship stored on board of his larger ship and give him fire suppoty. It was great until some npc rammed me, and I started spinning, rapidly, along two axis at once. Oh did I mention I was playing in vr? Unpleasant was an understatement.

So I've now bought a gigantic passenger ship, painted it chromatic blue and called it the vengabus. I listen to audio books while piloting it. It's very relaxing. Definitely better than becoming increasingly dizzy from the faster ships in the game.

Horizon zero dawn has been on my mind for a bit, so that would be pretty dope.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Persona 5! Thanks for opportunity!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Spider-Man Remastered, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I absloutely bloody love to try Elden ring/spoderman sign me up woooo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Hey, cool giveaway! Unfortunately I can't run any of these games yet, stuck with a potato laptop, but I'll enter for Tales of Arise just so I can finally know what that series is about. Some discord peeps I know love them so yeah. Here's to me getting a pc that can run these games in a few years.

Entering for Elden Ring

this, my last year of college, I've made several new relationships because of dark souls. Recently, because of this group, got a girlfriend, and I would love to gift her with the game!

Congrats to the winners and Merry Christmas!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it's fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can't get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn't be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don't know how I lucked out, but he's pretty impressive to me

I'm really only interested in GoW so I can give it to my brother. He's a dad of 2 and needs some quality games in his backlog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] - Congrats! You’ve been selected for God of War as the previous winner did not claim the prize! Please check your Private Messages and respond either here or to my PM to accept this giveaway. I will then send you the Steam code over PM. You have 24 hours to accept, so hurry up!! :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

PMed!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I don't need any games but wanted to say this is an awesome idea. Good on ya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Elden Ring for me. Thanks for the chance to win.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks for doing this!

I would personally be interested in Spider man remastered.

As for a game I played recently and loved, I've been playing Xenotilt and Demon's Tilt and they're both amazing pinball games. I loved Metroid Prime Pinball as a kid and these are the first pinball games that really capture that same appeal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

This is very nice of you. I'd love to have elden ring.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man, no one wants God of War.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know, right? I swear if I don’t get a response tomorrow I’m gonna lose it.

But it’s good for all the others that entered for this game since their odds go slightly up in the randomizer. Elden Ring and God of War were the overwhelming number of selections from the ppl that entered. You’d figure this game would have had an immediate response… maybe because it didn’t win Steam’s most innovative game of 2023 lol. God of War can’t be Starfield I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Hopefully, Kratos will get a home next time.

The trolls love Starfield.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I've been eyeing returnal but couldn't bring myself to buy it. I want returnal from the list thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I just wanna say you're so cool for doing this. Merry Crimmas 🎄

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I've been waiting to try out Returnal!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Spiderman Remastered would be cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Whoa this is cool, thanks for doing this. I'm interested in Hogwarts Legacy. I've played Elden Ring, God of War, and HZD. I really struggled with HZD, though. Couldn't get into it for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I would love the uncharted collection, loved watching my dad play the games as a kid and its always been my favorite, used to even wear a copy nathans ring, havent gotten to play it in years since I sold my ps4 and havent had the money to buy a fullpriced playstation game!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Miles Morales!

Played the Forest one in PS4 and haven’t had a lot of time to try out new games since starting a new job.

Happy holidays, and thanks for being a generous soul!
