I have a spreadsheet full of #Steam #game keys (all legit!) and I'm giving away.

I'm *not* doing this to get new followers. You DON'T need to follow me to get a key. This is about generosity when the world could really use some.

The only thing I ask is you follow the Wheaton rule: "Don't be a dick".

19/12/24: In what turned out to be a poorly timed decision, I bought a bundle of games and added them to the list today. Happy holidays.

To avoid keyfarmers and resellers, I have some guidelines, though.

1. No new accounts. Sorry. You've got to have been here on Mastodon & obviously human; ie. no keyfarmers (If I don't know you, I'm checking profiles).

2. One game per person; please pick your top three preferred games, in case your first preference is already gone. First in, first served, I go through PMs in the order that they're received - see below.

3. *Private Mention* me with the game number *AND* name, in order of preference. (Web: Profile > Three Dots > Privately Mention...), your app may vary.

I cannot reiterate this enough. You *must* -->PM<-- your request (consider this the "Brown M&Ms" clause).

4. "When can I ask for another key?" Minimum of 2 months between requests.

Colour coded legend on the spreadsheet. My thanks to the following generous folks who've donated extra keys:

@McCovican
@tojosan
@hypolite
@desiree
@artbol
@elfi
@beric
@Krikket
@WearsHats
@triadne
@dona

@apicici
@n3wjack

Game listed multiple times = multiple keys.

FAQ:
Q: "Can I donate keys?"
A: No (see above).

If you don't mind boosting this post; this is my small way of trying to make the world & Mastodon a nicer place to be.

Grissallia's #MastodonGiving Giveaway List

Google Docs
Five more games added today.

It's amusing to me that thanks to: @McCovican @tojosan @miga and now @hypolite I have more keys left to give away than I started with.

Virtually everyone I've had the privilege of interacting with has been lovely, although a couple of y'all have problems with following instructions ;)

A little donation of keys from @Krikket increased the list by 50%, and an audit of my own keys discovered I'd added a bunch of games to my internal giveaways spreadsheet that didn't get added to the public spreadsheet, and there's a few big games added to the list now.
@grissallia this is pretty awesome of you. I don't need a free key as I am similar to you with a range of Steam titles I still have in my backlog, but thank you so much for the generous offer. I'm sure you'll find some grateful recipients! HNY!
@grissallia I mostly have NO idea what you’re talking about, but i get it. I think this is a solid, good human move and I support it wholeheartedly! Well done.
@grissallia some great games in there. Very generous of all of you!
@grissallia That's really wonderful of you! I should do that with my extra keys from bundles...
@grissallia I'm not gamer but just popping in to say that is such a lovely thing to do :)
@MsPraxis Thanks. It was better than them just sitting in a spreadsheet, particularly when a lot of them are duplicates. I could fiddle around and try to sell them, or just spread some joy around.
@grissallia I have more Steam games than I have time to play them, but this is a hella cool thing you're doing.
@grissallia omg! This is amazing! You’re so kind. Boosted!
@grissallia Hi there, thank you for the generosity. I got my eyes in Stealth Inc 2. If not, Luxor.

@grissallia Hey - if you still happen to have a Back 4 Blood key, I'd be delighted to take it off your hands. Backup options would be Death Stranding and Jurassic World Evo 2.

For the record, I'm utterly in awe of the generosity of yourself and other donors who are working to make this happen! I'm a disabled, trans, mature age university student dependent on state support, so the fact that you are doing this (and STILL doing it) is astonishing to me. :)

Hi there, @grissallia

How nice of you to keep doing this.

I'd love to try number 20,25 or 47 please

Thanks again 😘

@grissallia thanks for this! Can you recommend any good adventure games suitable for a 10-13 yo? (light violence is ok, would rather avoid too much violence though)
@wall0159 I knock off work in about 4 hours. If I don't get back to, it's probably my ADHD kicking my ass, feel free to poke me and I'll take a look
@grissallia I would be interested in either of the Shadowrun games
@grissallia great idea, I have quite a few of unused keys that I dont think I will use if you need more
@grissallia Well, I like the idea. I have Contraption maker and 2 Obey steam gifts in my stash to share 😀
@grissallia  just seeing this brightened my day! I don't need any more games but thank you for spreading joy. 
@grissallia What games do you have that you are able to give away?
@destroyer1212 That would be the list of 235 games in the linked spreadsheet...
@grissallia Hmm, I would like PGA tour 2k21 please.

@grissallia @McCovican @tojosan @miga @hypolite Boosted to spread the love.

Tip for anybody reading: Satellite Reign is quite a nice Syndicate style game (it's by the same people)

@grissallia

Hello! Not sure if I qualify, I know we don’t know each other. This is such a beautiful idea you have and if you still have the key for 106, “little inferno” id be really happy to get that one— (I don’t have another 2 that interest me at the time :) )I’ve been wanting to play it for ages. :) if not that’s totally cool! Thank you for your generosity! I should consider doing something like this too! 🥰💜 I’m still a little new to the app— not sure how to dm.

@grissallia I’m trying to… I don’t see an option for that on your profile 😅
@grissallia that's very generous of you! I'd love a key if there are any left when you read this 🙂 My preferences:
1. Amid Evil
2. Iconoclasts
3. Dusk
Thanks!
@Cwiiis DM, please.
@grissallia gosh, reading comprehension fail on my part... Incoming, once I figure out where DMs live in this app...

@grissallia

That's such really nice idea.
I support this!!

For the games ...well not much was interesting for me on that list because of my ADHD.
But that "GRIP: Combat Racing" caught my interest.

@grissallia Humanity is overrated! I'm a wolf, thank you. (seriously, not everyone on here is human thanks, transspecies/etc. people exist)
@grissallia @[email protected] @[email protected] I genuinely don't know what would be good picks for me from there, only games that I own there (and ever taken an interest in) is Cities Skylines (Steam/PS4) and 911 Operator (technically I don't own it, but I have 112 Operator on Switch)

Thank you though for offering to give stuff to others

@experiencer Ah, sorry!

I just noticed that you were just mentioning.

Got swamped by requests this morning!

Thank you :)

For a while I tried trading keys, but it was just a huge headache, and I didn't want to waste them, so why not give them away?

@grissallia so good that you are still doing this! I’ll look through and see if there’s anything my son would like.

Thanks 😎

@grissallia @McCovican @tojosan @miga @hypolite @desiree @artbol @elfi @beric @Krikket human, damn, tucks my wings in, picks up my tail and slouches away...

@Thebratdragon
LOL. Look, it's a bot-filter, so I can make an exception for the occasional dragon.

@McCovican @tojosan @miga @hypolite @desiree @artbol @elfi @beric @Krikket

@grissallia @McCovican @tojosan @miga @hypolite @desiree @artbol @elfi @beric @Krikket @WearsHats @triadne @dona @BitterlyIndifferent @mondanzo thanks. I don't need more games, but I hope you'll bring joy to the people who will get them

@grissallia Thank you for everything...  

Do you plan on transfering ownership of the list to someone or just close it? 

@Soblow Because the keys on the list come from such a large group of people, I need to discuss it with them, and what they want to do with the keys.
