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!

There may be a federation issue with my instance but I’d like to submit my entry for Returnal. Thank you! https://lemm.ee/comment/7588553
I would love Horizon, thanks!
UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection would be great! I’ve been playing a ton of Dave the Diver, which is a fun game, but I’m definitely need a change of pace.
Congrats! You’ve been selected for
Dave the DiverUNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection! 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!! :)
I’d like to enter for God of War.
So what made me happy this year is that I finally moved out and have less interaction with my extremely toxic family. Also my GF came back from abroad and we’re going to be working towards getting a place here so that we can start living together.
In any case, thanks for this OP and good luck everyone!
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
This year I got back into Destiny 2. I got to level 535 in Season of Defiance, and made a ton of new friends through it and the Discord servers connected to it.
Hogwarts legacy! I have been playing dnd and having a great time with friends
Game: Persona 5 Royal
The biggest thing that made me happy this year was being home for the holidays. I have a job that often sends me to remote sites for work. I was sent away in the end of 2019 for work, right before all the pandemic stuff started. Soon after that lock downs began and many travel restrictions were put in place, including ones within my own company. Basically I have been stuck very far away from my family for a very long time. The off-shore work contract finally came to an end and even though I am now technically unemployed for the time being, this was the first Christmas holiday period I have been able to spend with my family since 2018. That meant the world to me and one of the things that has made me the happiest in many years, let alone just this year. As far as hopeful, I am hopeful that this will definitely not be the last holiday season I can spend with my family and currently have no plans to leave again like that anytime soon (not that I planned it like that in the first place though anyway lol).
Will not participate, but props to you for organising this, it is really nice 🎄
Some of the games in the giveaway are in my wishlist, I hope in the next year I will get some and play them. Best of luck to the participants and wish a great time playing, best of luck to the moderation team, too. Happy holidays
Hey there,
Thats Nice of you 🥰🥰,
The best things for me, don’t laugh, my life isn’t cool lmao, was finishing twice cyberpunk in a month, and then my first use of stable diffusion on my arch station (BTW), I almost did an coming out too :D but this one doesn’t count, because its in progress… ✊
Im applying for Persona5, I really want to give him a go, but if someone is in need prefer this someone, I can buy it after all. That’s really lovely from you. 😘
Merry Christmas! Have been eyeing up Elden Ring since release but haven’t had the time since having a baby.
Wow you’re very kind! I’d like Horizon Zero Dawn to play with my Steamdeck when the children are asleep because the TV is theirs 😁
Congrats! You’ve been selected for Horizon Zero Dawn! 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!! :)
Returnal! Been wanting and just haven’t pulled the trigger.
Edit: damn autocorrect changing it to returnable
Merry Christmas! I’ve had God of War in my wishlist forever! I remember playin the OG in the PS2 and Chain of Olympus in PSP and I loved them. I would love to repeat the experience in this PC remake :)
Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I wouldn’t mind getting to try Marvel’s Spider Man Remastered; I’ve a few friends that say it’s good.
I’ve been a bit under the weather over the holidays, which has given me the opportunity to try some of the free games I’ve been accruing from Epic’s giveaways. Art of Rally was pretty good. Nice art style, active development, and an interesting concept rooted in historical events.
I’ll sign up for Returnal.
A few months ago I ran into the demo for an indie game called Laika: Aged through Blood. It came out around a month ago and it’s an extremely solid indie game, I’d suggest anyone who likes metroidvanias a shot if you don’t mind them being unforgiving as hell.
Congrats! You’ve been selected for Returnal! 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!! :)
I’m having issues answering from my main account, looks like the comment is not being federated over to lemmy.world.
No prob, got you covered, bud. I responded to your PM. Enjoy Returnal, and have a happy new year ahead!
Thanks a lot, just redeemed it!
That’s great, thanks a lot!
