I'm looking into a few options right now. I was vaguely wondering could lemmy raffle it or do a competition for it or something?

It is a steam computer game I dont even know what that is.

AFAIK once it is in your Steam library it is there for good and cannot be transferred. It can be shared, but it will always be in your library.

Edit: when you say won you mean as a prize, I initially read it as beat. So if it is a code you could give it to someone else to activate.

I 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

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?"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

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.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
