The first ever, probably annual, Aiera Thanksgiveaway
Original post: Okay, so I’ve decided that I actually do quite like you all, so it’s time to give something back (as it were).
But first, a confession: I’ve never played Warren Spector’s Deus Ex before (I know, I know…), and I noticed on Steam that there was an “eight-pack” copy of the game on sale for a quite reasonable price…so I picked it up.
Which leaves me with seven copies of Deus Ex to pass on to…well, anyone with a Steam account, really. I think you need to be my “friend” on Steam for the process to work, but that’s a quick process.
Thus: if you want a copy of the game, you can do one of three things: a) donate a minimum of $10 to my Movember campaign, b) donate a minimum of $10 to Aiera, or c) drop me a line.
Here’s how it’ll work: the first seven people who make donations will automatically get a copy of the game upon furnishing me with the basic information I need to “gift” a copy to them (i.e. email address and Steam account name). If less than seven people make donations, the remaining copies of the game will be gifted to randomly selected people who, via the contact form, give me their Steam account name (and email address, but that has to be entered in the contact information fields anyhow). If nobody makes donations, all seven copies of the game will be doled out in this way.
And this might not be the only game that comes up for giveaway. I’m just putting that out there; I’ll be watching Steam’s deals fairly closely over the next few days.
Will we know who wins a copy??
Yes, winners will be announced publicly, unless they request otherwise.
If you’ve never played Deus Ex, then you need to make amends (by playing it) in the very near future. I could try to describe it in words, but that level of awesome is not in my vocabulary.
Duly noted!
And yes, I intend to rectify the oversight as soon as possible.
Wait, aren’t you Canadian? You’re cheating! 😛
Arguably, the site is hosted by an American company.
Besides…Steam doesn’t give great deals on gift packs during the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday week.
Also: free game! What else matters?
