Okay, so. In the upcoming months I might consider doing a bit of a splurge and tossing out a gigantic like.. giveaway-palooza over the course of a week or so.

The budget will be around 1,000 dollars, maybe more.

Ideas, suggestions, come up with a list totalling to, or below 1,000.

(Please, don't say 20 copies of skyrim, etc. :c )

Reminder: This is hypothetical, depending on how the next few months go for me, I may or may not go through with this.

Suggestions should be thought out just in case I actually go through with this, as I'll be considering all suggestions seriously.

Hypothetically 10 of this.

But really, if you actually can do this and are willing anything would do.

Something I may consider, though I'd like for it to be... as said, a giveaway-palooza. x: Something more than 10 winners, yeah?

Than how about a thousand?

If you want diversity you can use the wishlist feature to see what are the most wanted games and select 20 from there.

How about a thousand Fortix?

Valve complete is nice, but i think most people got most of the games from valve, so it would be awesome if it was some more expensive titles, and alot of indie titles, thatway it will be a giveaway-palooza ;D

No, I already do anonymous large donations to the bundles when they come around. Rather not give them minimal profits in regards of paypal/transaction fees. :c As nice as the idea would be, the actual donation given to the charity/developers is minimal by doing that.

Not like you have to only pay 1 dollar. 5 or 20 or even 100 each if you choose. Youd certainly raise the min price..

Buy on-sale titles so you get more bang for buck!
Or maybe more obscure or niche titles?

Addendum: The idea has hit me that grabbing particular items of interest on sale would be a nice idea to maximize giveaway-palooza-potential. So, the week idea might be out in exchange for larger/more plentiful giveaways if this happens.

Well you could buy 1 copy of each of the popular games like skyrim acc revelations magicka dd battlefield3 mw3 and so on

if you're going to do a gift-a-palooza, I recommend you tier your giveaways.
You should get like 50 copies of fortix for low-tier public giveaways, and then move up for private giveaways.
The puzzles should scale up enormously until there's like a grand prize with a god-tier puzzle that gives you something like valve complete pack, lol.

good luck planning all those puzzles out though ! :P

Something to consider, though I'm unsure as to if I'd want these to be private. x: Haven't quite figured out how I'll be doing this in terms of availability.

If you're doing it within the month.. or have the budget..
I'd say have a look at this
its available till the end of the month, and is basically a booster of sorts for subsoap, i suppose.
should grab one for yourself, at least :P
kinda plugging.. but i think they deserve it.

I'd assume you're suggesting a mass-purchase of the keys, yes? As much as I'd want to do it within the month, I'll most likely be unable to. :c

yea, was thinking of something along the lines of that for part of the budget.
depending how serious you are about it though, could try emailing subsoap, who knows :3

Been looking at it, debating if I want to go that route or not, like hearing what people think.

Sure, that is why we are giving our ideas :)
And I don't know, maybe you could try to contact one of those sites that sell games and try to convince them to make a special price for your pack of games to giveaway. I think it is worth a try :)

It could be especially nice of you got some of the "Not yet gifted" games from that list. Plus some of the top gift choices. You could also insert a few giveaways of a hidden gem you particularly like to get people to know about it.

Find a multiplayer game you enjoy, buy a lot of copies of that game and gift them and play with your new friends :)

That or a lot of indie games, or even better, tons of indie bundles :D

...Pitching an idea of my own. Not sure how many of you know about Starbound. (Tiy's project after Terraria kicked the bucket and such.)

But anyhow, depending on the price, hoping for around 10 dollars as Terraria is, 100 copy giveaway in... 10 copy increments, where a group will be made and around... 200 I suppose will be picked at random for each? (If we can even get the number that high, otherwise I'll just slap them on as publics.) Yea or nay.

They're hoping to get it on there. Don't see why they wouldn't, either, as Terraria sales were astounding.

I'd personally start picking things that you think need more appreciation, and things that don't come up that often. So...

Anno 2070
Legend of Grimrock
The Witcher 2
Dragon Age: Origins. Ultimate Edition
Company of Heroes: Complete
Alan Wake
La Noire
Kingdoms of Amalur
Dustforce
Q.U.B.E.
Batman: Arkham City
Civ 4 Complete (Or Civ 5 GoTY)
Dead Space 1 (and 2?)
Psychonauts
Stacking

A good mix of puzzle, RPG, action. With games that don't come up that often.

Hope this helps. :)

Considering I own/have played the majority of those, I might actually have these as a bit of the giveaway-palooza. c:

Monkey Island Special Editions - haven't seen any around here, and everybody needs to play them if they haven't. And do it with via a puzzle involving a rubber chicken.

I have other idea, you could just make a list of your favorite games and gift those! starting from the bottom and then the grand finale!

This does bring the question though, what's the deadline on giftings. I'd rather not get in over my head. x: As in.. upon someone winning, how long do you have to give said gift.

Guess if you post a notice in your giveaways (and maybe also write to loko) you can extend that to, say, 10 days if that suits you more. :)

The KoA:R DLC ;)

No really. You could insert some nice, long games from ME series or Mount and Blade, Dragon Age. I play them a lot. There is also Civ 4 and 5... I stop now before I mention every game ;) You decide.

Some suggestions for games that nearly aren't given away:

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Ys: The Oath in Felghana (This one probably because it's fairly new)

Front Mission Evolved

TES: Morrowind Seriously. It's Morrowind. There should be more giveaways of it and less Skyrim. :P

Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity

Monkey Island. Any of them. You pick which one, or maybe all of them!

Some of these are on my wishlist, some aren't. As an alternative, you can always check SG's wishlist as suggested and go from there. But remember that the "not yet gifted" doesn't counts private/group giveaways. Some of those games HAVE been given away already.

Edit: Uggggh format.

Personally considering gifting TOIF and Origins when it hits steam as I grew up with Ys back home, and want to share it with the rest of the world. (Siiiince... for quite some time, Ys was never translated/never received much popularity.) And... yeah, might throw in a few morrowinds, all these people with their Skyrim and Oblivion need to see what's what. c:

Mm... if I remember correctly the share taken by valve is minimal, but I can't be certain on that. Depending on the percentage I may or may not go about doing this.
