[OPEN] [STEAM] Christmas Steam Key Giveaway -- Part 6 (lemmy.ca)

submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by gramie@lemmy.ca to c/Randomactsofgaming@lemm.ee

28 comments fedilink hide all child comments

All the games are now available on the website I made (see link below), so I have marked the other posts as [CLOSED].

Sorry for the delay everyone. I got involved in Christmas, and needed to figure out a way to post and distribute my extra Steam keys without spending 3 hours every day to do it.

I have created a solution, not a pretty one and probably not robust, but I hope it will survive for a week or so until all the games are taken. It was a chance to step back from CMSs and web frameworks, and program closer to old school days. (I started web programming in 2001, when things were much more primitive than now!)

You still get to submit 5 requests per day, and I will do my best to apportion the keys fairly.

Go to https://xmas2024.stillbrook.org/ to view the games and make your requests. Use your Lemmy username so that I can send you the keys.

Currently games up to "R" are available; the rest will be posted each day.

I cannot believe you are still going strong on this! Thank you so much!

Honestly. Take your sweet time with it, I don't think anyone minds waiting a few weeks until they get their keys, there are so many high quality games in there.

[–] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

there are so many high quality games in there.

Especially today: Civilisation 5, STALKER, Satisfactory, Super Meat Boy, etc

Hey I appreciate this, even if I didn't get anything from it, it's a cool thing you're doing.

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hot damn! 01.07 has some bangers! Picked some earlier ones for myself, thanks again!

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for all your efforts and for your generosity. I admire that you built a solution to take care of it 👏

Happy new year, glad to see you back with your generous giveaway 🙂

It is very appreciated

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is very generous, very cool that you're doing this

[–] Bruhh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is awesome of you and thank you

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's amazing! Website does exactly what's needed. Thank you for the opportunity, I have submitted requests.

[–] Mutterwitz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you, made my day 😃

[–] BadlyDrawnRhino@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for doing these giveaways! I meant to request games before now but never got around to it. Happy to see 2Dark, it's been on my wishlist for quite awhile now.

[–] Ok_imagination@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Awesome I was looking forward to more of these. Thank you!

[–] anas@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oh wow, thank you!

[–] Commiunism@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can people who have already received from previous days participate? There's so many games I doubt there's enough people on Lemmy to actually claim them all

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I was just thinking about that last night. If anyone else has extra keys, I would be happy to add them to the list. It doesn't take very long, regardless of the number, now that the system is set up.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder if other users would be able to send you codes\gifts they don't need if you wish to repeat it. Sometimes I have one or two laying around. And, hm, is there a way to verify them without applying for that to work because you know your keys work but it's hard to know if others' work too?

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for the Dragon Age Origins key earlier, it's really fun!

Looking through the list, I find it odd that King Arthur's Gold is on there, because it became free to play in steam a while back. Still, cool selection overall.

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

It looks like King Arthur's Gold was last bundled 6 years ago and went free to play 5 years ago. So probably just a remnant from an older bundle.

Note that using a key will entitle the player to steam trading cards, which they will not receive from the free-to-play version 🙂

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hey Thanks again! So many patient games listed on this. OMG! Sid Meier games! And all the good Star Wars games. I’ve made a few requests to fill in the gaps in my games.

[–] Xianshi@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Awesome to see this still going. Its very much appreciated. I requested some titles on the site. Thanks again!

[–] Sixner@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wow, dope list. Super cool!

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Just stumbled on this randomly. That is a really nice thing! Happy new year!

[–] pgetsos@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for doing this mate, once again!
