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!
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.
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.
I'd go with Chants of Sennaar as a direct Steam gift. Granted, it's not exactly patient gaming since it came out last year, but I found it had a charming and somehow retro vibe when I tried and enjoyed the demo, and it certainly is an original game concept. I suggest you try it yourself !
Thanks for organizing this giveaway !
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!
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. pleasedon'taskabouttherestofmybacklog
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
I'd go with Chants of Sennaar as a direct Steam or GOG gift. Granted, it's not exactly patient gaming since it came out last year, but I found it had a charming and somehow retro vibe when I tried and enjoyed the demo, and it certainly is an original game concept. I suggest you try it yourself !
Universe sandbox seems interesting enough for me to want to play but not quite enough for me to spend $30 on. This would be a perfect opportunity to finally give it a go.
Steam, please and thankyou
No idea what I'd buy, but I'll go with an Amazon digital gift card if I win. Most probably I'll use it towards tears of a Kingdom as I just finished breath of the wild about 1 week ago.
I'd pick option 3, and go with double dragon gaiden. The beat em up genre has always been a favorite of mine, and we're eating good recently! New tmnt, a tmnt collection, new streets of rage, and now a new double dragon!
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.
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!
That's really cool!
I'm knee deep in BG3, but if I were to get something, it'd be ff9 on steam, haven't played it in probably 20 years. See how it hits now as an adult.
Foretales, I always enjoyed card games and the aesthetic really attracted me, actually it's in my wishlist since the game was released and I managed to not get spoiled (or just a little bit).
I choose the direct gift in gog.
(2 day before the giveaway's end, I guess I'm also a patient scroller)
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).
I'd gonwoth steam. I've just changed my laptop to Linux because of all the MS crap and nagware. Likely due to other Lemmy communities. I have a steam account that is locked for years from changed security requirements. This might be the push to switch from console to PC gaming.
Demonstar original missions which is a remake of old classic demonstar. Its an old shareware I used to play. Its awesome and it was remastered recently.
