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?
I’m assumimg you have a store key.
You could post to one of the relevant communities for game giveaaways, such as !freegames@feddit.uk or !Randomactsofgaming@lemm.ee
Standard practice is to pretty much just say what game you’re offering, and the dm the key to a random respondent after a day or two.
Announce it, whoever wants it comments under the post, after a set date collect all the usernames, randomly select one, contact via DM.
That could be fun! What would be a good comm to do that in? One that’s popular enough?
I would look into three things first:
- Do the terms of the prize dictate transferability? In the rules of the contest in which you won the game, was there anything about not selling or giving away the prize?
- What type of game is it? Video game, board game, card game?
- What is the delivery mechanism for the game? Some things will be easier to transfer than others. A physical copy can likely just be shipped to a new recipient. A digital key for a game might be easy to just send to the recipient. Other delivery mechanisms may or may not have a system to prevent transfer.
Thanks I can deffo give it away, it’s steam game which means there’s a key?

Maybe.
If the game is already in your Steam account, no. I can’t seem to run the actual policy down with a quick search, but games in your Steam library are not transferable.
If you have received a key in your email (It’ll be a long, alphanumeric sequence) then you can forward that to someone else, so long as it hasn’t been used by you or anyone else.
If the game was sent as a gift to your Steam account using the Steam gift system. Then no, you cannot transfer it.Yep it’s not in my library I’m waiting for the key thanks mate
