Comment on Ive won a game but I'm not a gamer is there a way of donating it to lemmy somehow?
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 week agoI didnt know that thanks, I don’t have a library so it could get sent someone else’s. It’s confirmed I’ve won but I’ve not claimed it yet
When you “claim” the prize it will be a “steam key”.
Anyone can then use that “steam key” to add that game.
So what is normally done is someone creates a post saying the name of the game and you have a free steam key to give away, and whoever replies first, DM them the code.
On reddit there were bots that scrapped codes
On Lemmy you might be able to just post it, but whoever redeems it first gets to keep it.
Thanks what would be a good comm to do that in
Where did this come from? If a graphics card, it may be difficult to gift it.
I had this happen a short time ago where I got a new GPU and they gifted me a game I already owned and I tried giving it away on here and found that I had to run through all these time based verifications and basically only I could redeem it.
If you have just the Steam key, you can give that to someone and they can claim the game and that’s that. But you may not want to post it directly on somewhere because bots are known to roam the internet and steal them first to sell them on weird websites.

Are first I read your post as “I beat (won) this game, but am not a gamer (so I do not want to keep it to play it again.) Does someone want to have it now?”
