[Closed] Steam code giveaway (lemmyonline.com)

Because- lemmy needs more participation, here is my deal.

Sometime tomorrow, I will come back and check this thread. (Around noon-ish / lunch time CST), unless I get delayed. If so- then afternoon CST.

Edit- to give a few more choices.

I will give out a key, of your choice, for the top 5 highest voted comments (from the perspective of my instance).

If, there are multiple comments for the same game, only the winning / highest voted comment will be considered.

Obviously- the two which have the status of gifted, are unavailable. Have fun, good luck. If you win, I will reply under your comment. If you are skipped due to asking for something already claimed, I'll also let you know that.

Will send keys in a PM. (Hopefully- those work on here)

You are allowed to say, "I'll take anything" in which case, I will go in order, left to right, then top to bottom, and non-randomly give you the first one that pops up.

Edit- Done!

Giveaway #2 is up here: https://lemmyonline.com/post/7869

Kudos for not posting naked keys.

Beat Hazard looks really interesting to me.

[–] blindsight 4 points 1 year ago

Great game. Especially if you have a gamepad.

This is a great idea. I don't need any more games but thanks for doing this and building the community and engagement!

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Every bit helps, a little.

Although, fair warning, I'm gonna upvote you just for the excuse of giving you the game code for one of those obscure indie games. :-D

Edit- since the above comment has a chance, Y'all should let me know what game we should give to tasty! (Assuming, he places)

[–] get_the_reference_ 7 points 1 year ago

Tasty needs Heave Ho.

Thank you for your generosity!

I'd love to give Basingstoke or Rise of Industry a go.

I've probably got some unredeemed Humble keys I can add to your offer.

Edit: For anyone interested, I can offer keys for the following games. Just reply to my comment and I'll use the same system as OP to choose winners.

Bioshock Remastered
Dwarfs!?
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Saints Row: The Third
This War of Mine: Final Cut

Edit 2: Just realised I'm on the other side of the planet from OP, so I'll PM keys hopefully ~6 hours after OP does. That should also give latecomers more time to grab some freebies.

I would love to have Bioshock Remastered or Saints Row: The Third

Railway Empire is one I have had my eye on

[–] Blevin 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'll offer up my extra copy of Antichamber and Half-Life 2, any takers?

[–] Bumblefumble 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I mean, I've always wanted to play those games but haven't gotten around to buying them.

[–] Cavemanfreak@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Antichamber is reaaally good, and a big ol' mindfuck

I will take warhammer 40k gladius if you don't mind.

Will send keys in a PM.

Does lemmy even have private messaging¿? I haven't seen any option anywhere

[–] alyaza 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it does, but you have to go to someone's profile page where it's a button

[–] Sentau@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah i was searching and figured that out. Though it is somewhat clear that messaging is not lemmy's forte and considering that lemmy main purpose is being a link aggregator i guess its better this way

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think so-

It, at least gives me the option to send you a message. Although, I don't know how private it is. Might have to test this..... beforehand.

If, that doesn't work, guess we can meet up in my discord.

Giveaways are a great way to get people in the door. Thanks for doing this. Entering a giveaway was all that was missing from my Lemmy experience. Now I'm wondering if anyone has made a Gift of Games community yet.

Gonna toss in an entry for Metal Unit.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 9 points 1 year ago

Giveaways are a great way to get people in the door.

That was the idea! I believe Lemmy is going to places, especially as spez continues to shoot himself in the foot. So- doing all I can to promote and help it along.

[–] OofShoot 9 points 1 year ago

God damn people are generous.

I don't use computers, so I'm not eligible, but I just want to say thanks for doing this! I'm sure people are going to love their new games!

[–] pushka 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Hello~ I'll put @Crotaro for Void Bastards,

it was made by an Australian group that made this online group of friends take over stars real life time strategy website game Neptune's pride

[–] Crotaro 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hiho! I'd be here for Void Bastards as well. Ever since I saw the Let's Look At on Northernlion's channel, it's been sitting on my wishlist.

[–] pushka 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I uh,, actually have this on epic-games with their free weekly game, I just use steam way more - I'll pass the key onto you ~ 💕

Void Bastards, Won. PM sent to @Crotaro@beehaw.org

[–] Lowbird 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is really cool of you! Thank you, regardless of who wins what.

I'm interested in Rise of Industry, or else Chess Ultra. Or otherwise maybe whatever Verlet Swing is? Or Swords of Ditto? Or else I'd take anything - honestly there're a lot in this list I don't recognize that have intriguing thumbnails!

Thanks for doing this! Participation is so important right now as Lemmy gets started.

I want to give a shout-out to https://lemmy.ml/c/xbox. Always need more people to talk Xbox!

[–] Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow Humble has gotten bad. I remember having a sub years ago, and it was the exact same games being offered.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 4 points 1 year ago

This- was some of my keys I didn't redeem from years ago. 2020-ish.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

I don't need a key, just wanted to say you're cool OP.

Gladius is a fun game, sorta like Alpha Centauri but with 40K flavour.

[–] lucid_loris 6 points 1 year ago

Hello, I'm interested in MO: Astray.

[–] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Not here for games, but I want to shout out Heave-Ho! because it's a wonderful co-op game! Goofy physics co-op platforming. :)

I don’t need a key, but this is very nice of you!

I've been meaning to get swords of ditto ever since I played enter the gungeon! Does anyone know if it's worth it?

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you for doing this! I recently got into chess and would love chess ultra. Currently I'm playing on chess.com but would be nice to have other options

[–] kilgore@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Such a cool (and generous) idea! I only recently got back into gaming thanks to the Steam Deck. MO:Astray looks right up my alley. Crossing my fingers for some upvotes!

Pardon my ignorance, but did you buy these, or got them for free, or won them? Just curious how that works.

[–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Looks like they are from Humble Monthly, so bought.

I'll take anything!

Thank you!

You can put me down for Verlet Swing and Heave Ho in that order

This is such a clever idea, I might have to do one of these sometime. Verlet swing, Heave Ho, and Chess Ultra are awesome. I believe game grumps played these three
