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!

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition

That is quite a list of games, thank you! This year I met someone in the most random way and we really like having each other in our lives. It's awesome to have a new friend who might turn into much more!

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Elden Ring is definitely my choice. I've played some but it wasn't my own copy so I haven't really been able to play it anymore, and for some reason I just never pulled the trigger myself.

[-] tuxtey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Miles Morales seems pretty cool. I’ve played other similar games, but never gone after this one.

[-] kionay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Returnal

Something that made me happy or hopefully this year would be my cat recovering from a rather nasty infection. He's a very good boy.

[-] Laristal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping I get picked for persona 5 royal. Happy holidays everyone.

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'll try for Elden Ring.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

Thanks for the giveaways! I'm thankful for the new job. Same job. Better place. Got a Steam Deck a year ago to catch up on my back log of games I haven't had time to play. I'm up to like 2013 and playing Shadow Warrior, atm. Lol

[-] ExcessivelyNoisy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'd love a chance at Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered! Thanks for doing this, and happy holidays :)

[-] weebkent@ani.social 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] b_crussin@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Spiderman: Miles Morales has been on my wish list for a long time. Been excited to play it ever since beating the first one!

It’s good to see giveaways like this coming to Lemmy. Always commented on the ones on Reddit but have yet to get lucky. Nice to see them around though!

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So, a friend of mine and I were playing Hunt: Showdown in duos. We find the target, but someone else already had. Multiple someone elses. For those who play, the target was at Sweetbell, and we approached from Arden Parish. I'm rocking a lebel marksman variant, so I take a look into one of the windows. Someone's there, so I pop him. Headshot. We move, rotating south and getting contacted but coming out victorious. I take a look in again at the bounties, but neither is giving me a window shot. I happen to see one move though, and headshot him through the wall. "I'm getting reported for that one" I comment. We continue to rotate clockwise around the building, and I ascend the tower between Sweetbell and Fort Carmic. I quickly get draw a bread and drop a player. This time his partner returns for and gets me. My own partner remains hidden for long enough that they look elsewhere to more immediate threats, and he picks me up. Eventually, as we're rotating north, they make a break for it, and get an area away by the time we finish looting their kills. I suggest going after them, and my partner expressed doubt. I mention that we have scopes, and hop onto some stairs to see if I can spot them. I do, and take my shot, downing one. The other scurried into the brush. I hold the view, waiting for the partner to make his move, and after a short pause my partner checks his map and says the other target made a break for it. We collect one of the bounties and leave via the same path. When we check the teams that round, we realize that I only killed one of the pair in that building... ever. The morale damage that must've done in order that the other just abandoned his buddy. My friend and I now use that player's username as a verb for when we down a player more than three times, and in particularly... efficient manner. For the game, I'm interested in Returnal.

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Missed out on the elden ring hype last year and still haven't been able to pick it up, fingers crossed and good luck everyone!

recently I played bullet witch and enjoyed it quite a bit despite it's notorious reputation for its jankyness. something about it has a charm that the late 2000s really mastered aesthetically.

[-] M0sesMan@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] NinjaTeensy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Persona 5! Thanks for opportunity!

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you kindly, CatZoomies!

I would like Elden Ring.

[-] pacoo2454@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Happy holidays! I’d like a chance to win Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Still haven’t had a chance to play it and forgot it’s on PC now. Thanks!

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Eden Ring.

My son (first child) was born last December, so I got to spend all year watching him grow and turn in to a little human.

[-] zanyllama52@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Returnal.

What a cool thing, thanks for doing this.

As a fan of titles like Hades and Control, Returnal's unique mix of gameplay elements is right up my alley. My budget has been maxxed lately so I've just been replaying the stuff in my steam library.

Happy everything to everyone!

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

I'm in for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. Merry Christmas :-)

[-] marker2002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Happy Holidays! So awesome you're doing this!

Been wanting to try out Elden Ring, so add me to that drawing please! And thank you!

[-] timidgoat@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Happy holidays to you, this is awesome! I think Spiderman Remastered gets me the most from this list. Never had the opportunity to play it.

[-] malijaffri@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

I don't want anything out of this for myself, as I currently have enough on my plate as it is. I'm just commenting to boost engagement. I love that you're doing this, though! Happy holidays, everyone! *<|:-)

[-] Soggytoast@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Spiderman Remastered would be cool.

[-] EarthlingHazard@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I've been waiting to try out Returnal!

[-] Trev625@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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