A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Hey everyone,

We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that.

It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

  1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
  2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
  3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too.

I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ).

I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!


UPDATE 4/30/24:

This contest is officially over!

The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

Congrats!

I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

(Direct steam gift is more than fine)

Project Zomboid. Big zombie fan, but somehow never ended up with the game. However (given I'm old af) I still remember the day the dev announced his laptop or whatever with all the code for the game on it had been lost or stolen, back in its real early dev days. Amazing the game was ever able to come out, let alone I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about it.

And ty for the giveaway! <3

That game is one of my favorites. I have over a thousand hours in it. Good choice!
