@teaearlgraycold's recent INCREDIBLE giveaway idea reminded me that we were due for our usual holiday giveaway thread. Y'all presumably know the drill, but if you don't, check out some of our old threads!
Gifters
Post your available games, the platform and method of delivery, rules for your giveaways (e.g. first-come first-serve, random draw, etc.), and any additional info or requirements. Feel free to get creative!
Giftees
Request giveaways according to the gifter's guidelines!
Rules
Anyone can choose to be a gifter, giftee, or both! Giveaway rules are set by individual gifters, but there are handful of guidelines everyone should follow:
- No grey market keys! Only giveaway games from reputable sources. If you're not sure what this means, please ask.
- Requests for games should be done in the thread, but if the gift is a key, those should be delivered by PMs only. Please don't post keys publicly, even obfuscated ones.
Deck Verified Giveaway(Now Closed)UPDATE
This giveaway will close on Thursday, December 22. Until then:
ANYONE (including people who have already received gifts) can choose a Deck Verified game and a bonus game number to reveal and receive.
OR
ANYONE (including people who have already received gifts) can choose TWO bonus game numbers to reveal and receive.
In honor of the year of the Steam Deck, ALL of the games up for giveaway in this comment are Deck Verified and will be delivered via Steam key.
Q: Do I need to have a Steam Deck in order to enter?
A: Nope! Anyone is welcome to request a game. The Deck is worth celebrating whether you have one or not!
Q: How will you choose who gets what?
A:
This thread will open up for reservations and then in six months I will delay another three months before slowly beginning to ship games in the order of the reservation queue.It's first-come, first serve!Q: How many games can I request?
A: Only one, please.
Q: Seriously -- ONLY one?!?!
A: Well, yes, but there's actually a twist.
Q: A twist, really?
A: ¡sǝʎ
Q: What is it? I can't stand this suspense!
A: Alright, I'll tell you.
When you request your game, please also choose any number from 1-64.
That number will determine the random SECOND STEAM KEY you get. This key will be a Deck Playable game instead of a Deck Verified game.
Q: Holy moly! I get a whole second game for free?
A: Yup!
Q: But I don't know what I'm getting -- what if the bonus game is crap?
A: First of all, how dare you. Second of all, I forgot to mention that ALL titles in this giveaway, both Deck Verified and Deck Playable, have Steam review scores of 85 or higher! Many of them are actually 90 or above!
Q: Oh wow! Sorry about my impertinence, bro. But... what if the bonus game is something I already have or something I don't want?
A: No worries, fam. You can just give it away to someone else. Maybe a friend, or maybe someone else in this very thread!
Q: Incredible! I'm so excited! When do I get to know what games are up for offer?
A: Right now!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
I definitely should have thought of this earlier, but I haven't sent out any of the gifts yet so this should still work and also y'all will just have to trust me anyway.
I'm taking a page out of @teaearlgraycold's book, and using a hash for confirmation! I have randomized the list of the 64 bonus games and hashed them (MD5, using this site):
44a740f291178a49040fbbc70e7e13a8
After the initial set of giveaways have run their course, I will publish the list and y'all can confirm the hash yourself so you know I'm not secretly playing favorites with the random drops. Also, any unclaimed titles on that list will be added into a special ROUND 2 giveaway on the thread!
At work they'd be proud to know I'm a cryptographic trend setter.
You're teaching the teachers!
CLOSING ANNOUNCEMENT
The Deck Verified giveaway is now closed. Below is the list of ALL bonus games which can be verified with an MD5 hash (I used this site).
Don't be sad if you feel like you missed out on some good picks (17). I will be starting up a separate giveaway in a week with all of the games from this list that didn't get claimed, as well as some extras.
Thanks for all who participated! I hope you enjoyed the giveaway, and I hope you like the games you got!I had a lot of fun running this.
Hash:

PMed! Bonus Game 13 revealed as Embr.
Everhood. 37.
PMed! Bonus game 37 revealed as Warpips.
Unrailed please!
I'll roll a 23.
Thanks!
And highly recommend SUPERHOT to others.
PMed! Bonus game 23 revealed as Hiveswap Friendsim.
I won't be claiming Hiveswap, if you'd like to return to pool.
Thanks so much!
I chortled reading the "A twist, really?" and "¡sǝʎ" question and answer.
I'd like to give Everhood a try.
I like random numbers, how about 64
😁
Also, someone else unfortunately beat you to Everhood, but feel free to request something else!
Ok... Then let's try Kingdom Two Crowns and 64

Thanks for the games!
Plague Inc: Evolved
, played it a lot on mobile, and would like to play it again.PC Building Simulator
seems useful.Normally I'd say limit one, but you're building a new computer so I'm good to give you two! You do have to choose two random numbers too for the extra giveaway. Let me know your choices and I'll send over your keys!
Oh, is there a limit? Is there an implicit social rule that I just break? Sorry! I'm not very good with those.
I'll take a second look at the list, thanks!
I'll play a game about building a computer in the computer I just built :P
No worries! Just choose any two numbers 1 - 64 (excluding the ones already chosen, which you can see in the Bonus Games section of my original post). I'll send you the keys for the two games you chose, plus the two bonus games.
Okay! The numbers are: 51 and 25!
PMed! Bonus game 51 revealed as When Ski Lifts Go Wrong. Bonus game 25 revealed as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Deck Verified Giveaway will close this Thursday, December 22. At that point I will reveal the full list of Bonus Games so people can check the hash. Any unclaimed games from that list will go up in a second round giveaway (with some additional choices as well) on Friday, December 30. The reason for the delay is that, in the between time, I will be spending the holidays with my family and won't be able to keep up with posts.
Also, given that everyone has already had their chance at pickings and there is still a lot left, I am re-opening this giveaway even to people who have already entered. Until it closes on Thursday:
ANYONE (including people who have already received gifts) can choose a Deck Verified game and a bonus game number to reveal and receive.
OR
ANYONE (including people who have already received gifts) can choose TWO bonus game numbers to reveal and receive.
Well then... I'd like LEGO City Undercover and the number 27 as bonus game. These being kinda like free lootboxes tickles the gambling part of my brain.
Thank you :D
Edit: just read the rules again and removed a bonus game, oops.
PMed! Bonus game 27 revealed as Chicken Invaders 5.
This is fun. I will take 16 and 48.
PMed! Bonus game 16 revealed as The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game. Bonus game 48 revealed as Witch It.
Ahhh, fun! I pick 38 and 9.
Thanks Steam Deck Daddy!
PMed! Bonus game 38 revealed as Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse. Bonus game 9 revealed as The Cat Lady.

Awesome, thanks again. 4 and 63?
PMed! Bonus game 4 revealed as Chronicon. Bonus game 63 revealed as Deployment.
Claimed, thanks once again!!
Okay so I've already taken bonus number 42, how about 4 and 2?
Someone else beat you to 4! I PMed you the key for 2.
I'm about to close this giveaway because I'm leaving for the holiday soon (otherwise I'd have you choose a new number), but I'll give you an extra choice when I do Round 2 in a week to make up for the missed one.
Bonus game 2 revealed as The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game.
Cheers, thank you so much for not only the games but for hosting this every year.
If I must... Let's see that 5 and 55!
PMed! Bonus game 5 revealed as Turmoil. Bonus game 55 revealed as Helheim Hassle.
kfwyre, thank you so much but I'm not going to redeem Helheim Hassle, as I already own it and 100%ed it (I've hyped it here in the past!) You should regift it. Thanks for Turmoil!
Game: Beholder 2
Number: 1
Please and thank you!
Edit: this made me lauch: This thread will open up for reservations and then in six months I will delay another three months before slowly beginning to ship games in the order of the reservation queue.

PMed! Bonus game 1 revealed as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD.
Many thanks! I will enjoy them both!
I'd like a copy of Pumpkin Jack please.

Thanks36!
Would love Unmetal, thank you! I'll try 32.
I'm actually playing through UnMetal right now. It's great!
PMed you the keys. Also, Bonus Game 32 revealed as Hob.
could i please have plunder panic? :)
and uhhh... 30!
PMed! Bonus Game 30 revealed as Post Void.
thank yoouuuu!! :)
although I have goofed a bit as it turns out plunder panic is already in my library! (must have been given away at some time?) so you can give the key to someone else :). Could I maybe swap it out for ibb & obb?
No problem! I sent ibb & obb over.
thank youu :)
The ibb&obb key actually contains two copies of the game one in the form of a steam gift, given that it works with remote play together I think I'll give the second copy away in this thread :)
Would I be able to claim Superhot? Also lucky number 44 for the random :)
Thank you so much for doing this!
PMed! Bonus Game 44 revealed as Turmoil.
Thanks a ton! You’re incredibly generous:)
Could I have Stick Fight: The Game? (I know I've asked for this key basically every time its appeared in a Tildes giveaway but I'm slowing getting friends and family to play with me)
My lucky number is 8!
PMed! Bonus game 8 revealed as PGA TOUR 2K21.
Thanks!
Oooh, look at that... Been looking to get Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, so I'll ask for that one, with the bonus number being... 52.
PMed! Bonus Game 52 revealed as ROUNDS.
Thanks! ROUNDS, huh? Never heard of it, but... Looks interesting. I'll give it a try soon.
I think I'd like to try Blazing Chrome. I do like me a good run and gun, and it gives good Metal Slug vibes.
As for a number, I'm surprised 42 hasn't been picked. Let's go with that.
PMed! Bonus game 42 revealed as GRIP: Combat Racing.
Kingdom: New Lands
7
Thank you so much for doing this! I appreciate it
PMed! Bonus game 7 revealed as Main Assembly.
Awesome, that game looks right up my alley. TYSM!
BTW how do you look at steam review scores? I've only ever seen reviews listed as "Mostly Positive", "Overwhemingly Positive", etc.
Hover your mouse over that and it will show you the percentage.
I don't want any of the giveaway games I don't already have (this might have been the case even if I'd been the first one here I'm afraid) but if that's OK I'd like to participate in the bonus list one with the number 33.
Totally fine! PMed. Bonus game 33 revealed as Strike Buster Prototype.
Also, since you're not taking a game from the main list, I'm good if you want to take two from the bonus game list. Roll another number if you like!
Cool, TYVM. I'll stick to the theme and grab number 3 then!
PMed! Bonus game 3 revealed as 112 Operator.
Yoku's Island Express - thank you!! 20.
PMed! Bonus game 20 revealed as Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?!.
All claimed! Lucky number for me - have always wanted to try a micromanagement cooking game XD. Many thanks again.
I will be glad to have to Creepy Tale, please! And to match the aura, the number shall be 39, you know, third time's the charm and it's thrice 13 :)
PMed! Bonus game 39 really was a third-time charm, because it's Turmoil for the third time!
Still have 90%+ of the Humble Ukraine Bundle available to anyone that wants it, everything but the following are as yet unclaimed:
This War of Mine
Back 4 Blood
Satisfactory
Metro Exodus
Ring of Pain
Crying Suns
Wizard of Legend
Pathway
Warsaw
Just drop a comment with anything you want and I'll send it your way.
Satisfactory is one of the games that has been claimed.
Hey there, really appreciate the giveaway. Here are my picks if they are still available.
Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Consoles were banned in my house growing up and Spyro was a rarefied and forbidden experience for me, on the few occasions I got to play it at friends' houses. I was really bad at it too, but this added to the appeal. It has a special kind of nostalgia for me and I'd love to revisit it remastered.
PDF Suite - This would probably be a really useful tool I'd get a lot out of for my studies.
I'm not even a Spyro fan, but still think the games are worth playing. DM on the way.
Thank you!!
Slay the Spire and Kerbal Space Program. Thank you.
DM on the way, Kerbonaut!
could i pls have starbound? :)
You may! DM sent.
tysm!! :)
ywsm!
can i get ryse son of rome? :-)
Yes, you can! DM Sent.
I'll take GameMaker Studio 2 if it's claimable.
It should be claimable as it's not showing as expired and I haven't used it, I'll send you a DM in a moment with the redemption instructions and code.
Should be noted that it's a 1 year license, so redeem when ready and use the time wisely.
Could I have Back 4 Blood and Metro Exodus? Thanks a lot!
The list of games in my comment are the claimed games, it's everything else in the link that isn't listed that is available.
Oh damn I can't read.
I'd like Spyro then if that's possible :D
You'll have to fight @Eidolon for it, they asked for it first.
Sorry friend, I've just seen this and have already claimed it!
They can have it, of course. I am still unable to read.
Giveaway: Outer Wilds. One of my favourite games ever. It's a small but very special space adventure game and anyone wishing to play it should go in blind and not do any research whatsoever.
Rules: Describe the feeling you experience when you look up into the night sky. Winner will be chosen using a randomiser. Closes 21 December 9 p.m. NZT.
So I grew up in africa, probably about 100km from the nearest proper power grid, so almost no light polution. The night sky was really, really beautiful. Its hard to describe if you havent seen it, but the sky is... vivd, bright, almost bright enough to see by. (more than bright enough on a full moon.) Id often sleep outside during the hot season, with nothing but a mosquito net between me and the sky. I remember seeing the milky way, not just as a few brighter spots in the sky, but as a whole stripe of the sky, lit up. Those pictures you see of 'dark sky zones'? there isnt photo editing there.
Anyway, when I see the night sky today, in the US, I feel dissapointed, and sad. Industrialization has done a lot of good, dont get me wrong, but it saddens me that what used to be a universal experience is now just... not existence for a very large portion of humanity.
That is so true. I get the see the night sky in its full glory maybe once every other year now and I spend quite a bit of time in the outdoors. On those special, moonless nights far outside of developed areas it almost feels like the sky is literally falling.
Kinda cheesy but well, sometimes I wonder if any other intelligent creature is looking at my direction from somewhere else.
I'm intrigued by the vastness of it.
I feel sad that there's so much suburban sprawl that there's basically no way to drive far enough to escape light pollution and actually see the stars.
I am not great with numbers and can't hack the hash system, so you'll all just have to trust me on this. I rolled a number between 1-100 using numbergenerator.org, in order of your posts. The highest number is the winner. Thank you all for entering, I enjoyed reading your comments!
That means the winner is @Toric! Congratulations :)
I have the following steam keys. The catch is, I'm not 100% certain they're valid. Reply here if you want one please.
Carcassonne - Inns & CathedralsCarcassonne - Tiles & Tactics (DLC)SubnauticaI also have these two bundles, on Origin (not Steam):
And on Rockstar Social: Max Payne 3And on Uplay: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - Humble Ubisoft Bundle
I'll take Subnautica. I'm simultaneously excited to try it out on my new VR setup and horrified by the potential of encountering underwater terrors.
Subnautica is the one I'm least certain about! Try it out, let me know. I really hope it works.
Confirming that Subnautica was valid ✅
Thank you!
Awesome! It's an amazing game, have fun! I still have to check out sub-zero at some point...
Now I'm imagining playing subnautica in full scuba gear with a VR headset for more immersion ;)
Don't think I could handle the jumpscares in Subnautica in VR TBH.
FYI these are backwards, Tiles is the main game, Inns is the DLC.
I'm interested in Carcassonne! The DLC would be nice too if you can let that go with it? Totally fine if giving it away separately.
Sent both
Thank you so much! Happy holidays!
Edit: Confirming that both keys were valid ✅
Max Payne 3. Thank you.
Sent!
I think that I have valid Steam keys for each of these:
Superhot- @hkcYakuza 3- @alcappuccinoF1 2020- @adityaIf you want a game, leave a comment, just leave a comment to let me know which, first come first served!
Superhot. Thanks.
Sent you a DM with a key!
Hi. I wouldn't mind having Yakuza 3. Thanks a lot! :)
Sent! Enjoy.
Hi! Is F1 2020 still available?
It is! I have messaged you.
Thank you!
(Dec 19) The drawing has concluded. See you next time!
Get your Steam keys here! I'll check back in 48 hours and do a random draw for each game.

Thanks a bunch! I booted it up last night, and think I'm hooked :-)
Put me in the pot for the Witness, please.
Awesome choice!
Yep you understood the rules just fine. Thanks for entering and good luck!
I'd love to be put in the pot for Back 4 Blood. Had a bunch of fun playing it in Beta but never got around to purchasing the full game.
I'll put my hat into the ring for Subnautica.
Entering for Back 4 Blood, here's my gaming experience.
Put my name in the hat for Undertale.
Also, and this feels like it shouldn't qualify but it was this post that got me to pirate Slay the Spire on my old phone. It was through Tildes I first heard of the game. I followed its development for a while, and wanted to try it during a period where I had no money and no internet, so I pirated it. I really liked it, and have been meaning to buy it for a while. I don't think receiving it as a gift would, uhh, restore the karmic balance or whatever, and would probably actually discourage me from buying the game in the future. So, well, put me last on the list I guess.
Good games! I'll take my free ticket for Hyper Light Drifter please.
hey, i know this is late but could i put in an entry for metro exodus :) a game that's been on my wishlist for a while
Hello, all! Got a quick giveaway for all of you. Grabbed the Jingle Jam 2022 pack and had a few left over after activating all I could, so here's the deal. The way the keys from this particular bundle work is that they're on a timer, for whatever reason. Which means you need to activate them before the 31st. So pick one (1) of the following, I'll toss you a code, and then they won't go to waste.
Steam keys. First come, first serve.
Turnip Boy Commits Tax EvasionPlague Inc: EvolvedFury UnleashedEpic Battle Fantasy 5Deponia
Edit: Well, never found someone to give Deponia, and by now the code's supposedly dead. I got several more spread around, though, and that's what matters. Enjoy, all.
Could I have Fury Unleashed, please? Looks very artsy and fun.
I'd like Epic Battle Fantasy 5 if you still have it :)
I think I've played the fourth one years ago, it wasn't bad.
Plague Inc: Evolved please.
I already have it, but Fury unleashed is an amazimg game! please play it!
I'm jumping in as well with some leftovers from a couple humblebundles!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the ones with [!] In front are games that either i've played and enjoyed, or games that are "widely considered" to be good.
[!] Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
[!] Wargroove
[!] Darksiders Warmastered Edition
I'd love to try Satisfactory. I'm a big fan of Factorio, but once you launch the rocket it doesn't feel like there's a ton of replay value.
sent it to ya through dm's
Got it! Thank you so much!
Awesome games, thanks!
Anyone of those below would be awesome, but I think I would like the 911 Operator the most!
Because I like the radio/communications theme:
Because it seems like a good learning experience:
Sent you the link through DM's, sorry for the slight delay!
Hollow Knight, if it's still available!
Sent you the link through DM's, sorry for the slight delay!
Pikuniku really looks interesting. I never heard of it before. I would like to try it. Thanks for the recommendation, by the way :)
Fable Anniversary, please and thank you.
Sent you the link through DM's, sorry for the slight delay!
could i give Going Under a try please?
Sent you the link through DM's, sorry for the slight delay!
thannnk youuuuu :)
That Toejam and Earl game is one that I've always kind of wanted but never actually wanted to spend real money on.
Sent you the link through DM's, sorry for the slight delay!
No problem. To be honest it is probably going to be a while until I get a bit of time to play it anyways.
I would love to try Rustler. Thanks.
This is a niche and weird offer but if you live in one of the following countries:
List
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Bahamas, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, Brazil or MexicoReply below and I'll gift you Zeroranger on Steam, one of my favorite games. (limited to
31 copy left!)I live in Mexico, at least for most of the time :-), and my steam is mexican. Zeroranger looks like a blast!
It just so happens that I live in one of those countries. Could I get a copy?
I have some unclaimed keys from the Ukraine bundle. One per person, first come, first served.
Steam Games
Slay the SpireclaimedThe Long DarkclaimedKerbal Space ProgramclaimedGOG Games
Happy holidays!
The Long Dark. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy this one - it's one of my personal favourites. I have really enjoyed both the survival mode (i got it quite early access) and the story mode, though I have a slight preference for survival mode. The studio is actually a bunch of nice people, too.
Great, I'll make sure to play it before the other games I got in this giveaway :)
Superhot is pretty great as well though.
Funny how they're both first-person games, but they are completely different. The vibe is totally different from one to the other. Superhot is frenetic, stylish, fast. The Long Dark is a more chill (literally and figuratively), dark, sad, but also beautiful.
Both great games! I'm excited for you.
Can I get Slay the Spire? Thank you!
Could I get Kerbal Space Program? Please and thank you :)
New year's giveaway?
I moved recently and had to max out my credit card buying too much cabling and weird ikea furniture, but it's the end of the month! I can and will now give away a copy of true GotY Tunic by random draw. If you don't have Tunic and would like to receive a copy, please reply to this comment with:
Only accounts created before Dec 1 2022.
Deadline: Jan 1 23:59:59 UTC
Giveaway now closed!
Alright, I drew the winner from among the three participants... And the winner is arghdos! Congrats!
Selection was made by a RNG powered by Crypto.getRandomValues (I double checked the source code). You'll have to take my word for it though!
Awesome, thanks!
I've heard good things about Tunic, and was thinking about picking it up next time I saw it on sale. I'm a huge fan of souls-likes, and have been itching for a new one after platinuming Elden Ring. I like the cute aesthetic of it, and am interested to see where it falls on the cute & calm <-> stressful & scary spectrum!
Oh, and I would probably play it on steam :)
I do know that Tunic has a in-game manual and that seems very intriguing. It also looks beautiful from videos I've seen.
Platform is Steam.
I’ve had Tunic saved in my tabs for a few months now so I don’t space on it. You’d be saving whole megabytes of my RAM letting me close it! Just think of the picojules of energy savings not reloading the same Steam page every other day :p
Well, I'm getting a desktop PC, so I'm up for it!
I'm considering playing some MMOs, like WoW, Guild Wars 2, and FFXIV. Or some other smaller/indie MMOs.
Also, some games that are only really good on PC, such as Age of Empires, Starcraft, and such.
Are there PC games that are good for roleplaying in a group?
Some modern naval combat.
And experimenting with some gamedev programs that are not games but are on Steam, such as RPG Maker, Game Maker, and animation software.
You might want to get Tabletop Simulator and/or Tabletop Playground; they will give you a complete table-like experience complete with physics whenever that's important to you. Granted I think there's a website somewhere that is more popular for online roleplaying.
I'd like to ask what kind of roleplay you're after. If you're looking for an MMO-styled RP and not a tabletop or RPG game, I would definitely recommend FFXIV. Even with the facial expressions alone, it wins my vote on that aspect due to the immersion it provides. Can even recommend you to some Immersive RP communities if you like.
I mean something like an MMORPG. Like what I find in MUD games. Not tabletop.
TBH I haven’t really seen an MMORPG where people actually roleplay in ages. But then again I stopped playing that genre a few years ago so maybe it has come back in style. I’m almost certain there is a niche doing it somewhere but I wouldn’t even know where to start looking. Good luck!
There are small RP pockets in every major MMORPG. World of Warcraft and Runescape both have RP servers. However, I was wondering about other, possibly more dedicated communities. I wonder if there are graphical games that are entirely RP-focused or RP-mandatory. Like a MUD game, they would have all the NPC-focused mechanics allowing the player to do things if there was no one around, but with the addition of a robust player-centric roleplay system. I think a game like that would never be a hit, but it might be a low-key success.
In that case, definitely give FF 14 a try. You don't even have to pay for it to be able to RP. The game itself is unlike any other MMO. 'tis more of an RPG game with MMO elements sprinkled on top. So you can just do your main story quests on the side to progress and focus on roleplay if you want. Just by following the story itself, you'll get all the necessary items and levels you need. If I were to summarise the game, 'tis pretty much an MMO where competitiveness is stripped out. You'll easily see the effects of it on its own community, even more so in the RP community. So, if you're interested, I can send links to some of the big RP hubs depending on the timezone you'd wanna play in.
That would be awesome. I'll definitely give it a try, thanks!
the game ibb & obb was gifted to me in this thread but it turns out the key contains a second copy in the form of a steam gift. (which I don't need because of remote play together).
First person to reply here and pm me their steam account so I can add you gets it :)
E: apparently I also have a killing floor guest pass. Not sure how I got it but you can have it if you want it.
This isn't a giveaway from me.. but it is still a giveaway. GOG is currently giving away
King of Seas.

I'm back for a second round giveaway. This giveaway includes all the unclaimed games from my previous Bonus Game list, as well as some additional games of (hopefully) high interest.
Rules: First-come, first serve -- limit FOUR per customer (items listed as groups count as only one choice)

Giveaway List
Backstock (MUST go by December 31!)
The following keys come from the Yogscast Jingle Jam collection this year. The keys are scheduled to expire on January 1st, meaning if they don't get used before then they won't work. These games MUST go!
Some people are already reporting that some keys from the set are expiring early, so no guarantees on these games -- sorry if they don't activate!
Rules: First-come, first serve -- limit FOUR per customer
You can enter this one SEPARATELY from the one above, so between both giveaways you could request EIGHT total titles!
Backstock Game List
Can we enter this one if we entered the previous one? By now you know I end up actually playing the games I get (I hope).
I could play Escape Goat 2. I played the original.
And let me try to get some of that backstock off your hands.
