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!

Happy holidays, and happy new year ahead! I hope this giveaway helps make your holiday a bit more special!
Hope you are all doing well. Take care of yourself. Be your best self, love yourself, and be kind to others. ❤️
I don’t want any of these games since I cannot play them. I’m just happy you’re doing this, happy holidays ^^
Happy holidays, my friend! Thanks for being here!
Thanks! I love posts like these. What made me happy this year was meeting and getting to know a lot of new people this year, when my year was otherwise full of bad times… how I hope Elden Ring will be
Elden Ring would be so sick. I’ve never really played a Souls Game and I’ve heard and seen soooo much good stuff about this entry. I’ve recently played through AC6 that was put out by the same developers and the attention to detail as well as the great gameplay itself really made the game a blast to play through. Also, big mech.
Thanks for the giveaway and happy holidays.
Hogwarts legacy! I have been playing dnd and having a great time with friends
god of war please (i never got round to playing the new series).
story: last week, an old dude crashed into my parked car and totaled it. when i saw the damage i was naturally pissed off but spotted his details on the windscreen. when i phoned him he was really apologetic and explained that he already took liability. that instantly calmed me down.
yes, he screwed up but the guy was decent enough to own up to it, when he couldve ran away. now insurance is getting me a brand new car with no strings attached. the whole incident made me hopeful, even though it was a gigantic pain in the ass, that there are still good, honest people out there in this mean world.
Elden Ring so I have a reason to upgrade my video card!
Happy holidays.
Hogwarts Legacy please. Not my type of game, but I know my partner would love it.
Quick story. In my adult life I’ve always been into charity. A couple of years ago a friend created his own 501c non profit. He was getting stuff together but then got overwhelmed and depressed and just couldn’t focus on it anymore. Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I hit him up to see how he was doing and he felt inspired but still overwhelmed. Didn’t know where to pick things up.
I started giving pointers (from my background in project management) and he asked if I would help him get this charity off the ground. Of course I said yes. He voted me in officially and that has been my whole world since then. Yeah I still have my regular job, and yeah the charity thing is solely volunteer, but I’m playing to my strengths and I’m conducting this thing the best I can.
We finally did our first utility relief from donations just a few weeks ago and it felt good. Going to really kick it in high gear in 2024.
Mile morales please.
Cheers.
I would love to get Hogwarts Legacy for my son - he just finished all of the books! He’s getting a new laptop for Christmas, so we haven’t focused on games, etc. yet but I’m sure he’d be thrilled to play!
This is a really fun idea, thanks for doing this!
Hogwarts Legacy.
Happy holidays, everyone.
Hogwarts looks like a fun game that I could play casually overtime. Happy Holidays!!
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’ve always kind of wanted to play Elden Ring. I don’t think its ever been my style, though I’ve wanted to give it a go on my steam deck for awhile now. Personally, I think any of these other lovelie people would deserve it just as much.
One thing I’ve been rather happy about, is my life was completely upended by a not so great roommate. Though everything turned itself around when I found some better influences on my life. Now I can happily say I’m a sober man, who’s also almost got his shit together.
I would love to get Persona 5.
Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
