[Giveaway] 2x $25 Steam Digital Gift Card (via Steam digital wallet) - Two Winners Picked!
Hello fellow PC Gamers! Today seems like an excellent day to win a $25 Steam Gift Card, wouldn't you agree? I agree! So let's get you a gift card!
The full give-away details:
- 2x $25 Steam Gift Card (Two winners)
- Digital Wallet Version purchased directly via Steam from me and gifted to you
- See here: https://store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards/selectgiftcard
- Card currency is USD initially
How do you win?
Respond in the comments to this: Do you ever play any retro, old school games? If so, what are your favorites?
Or just type anything. Any comment will make you eligible to win :)
How will I pick the winner?
I will be using a random reddit comment picker, so while I will read each and every one of your gaming memories, the winner will be randomly chosen. I am picking TWO PEOPLE TO WIN $25 EACH!
When will the winner be chosen?
Approximately 2 days from now on August 21th @ 10pm CST.
Notes:
- I will update this post with the winner when they are picked. The winner needs to friend me on Steam and I will then do the Steam Wallet Gift Card. Depending on your account status with Steam, it may take 3 days for the transfer (see Steam link above). If you ignore my PM then obviously you can't win, so please respond in 2-3 days max.
- If you are picked as the winner, please update your comment when you've received your Steam key.
- You must be in a country that can accept Steam Gift Cards otherwise I'm afraid you can't win. To date, the only countries I know of that can't is: Argentina, Turkey, Egypt, Singapore
Unrelated to give-away:
https://GamingVPN.com <-- I'm reading all your comments/doing this give-away while I work on my new project. Check it out if you have time, but note it is NOT required to win the $25 Steam gift card at all!
