The Game Awards is Giving Away 100 Steam Deck OLEDs During Show - Steam Deck HQ
Just fucking sell me one in Australia please.
How much are you ready to pay ?
I will totally not be watching the game awards tomorrow instead of working (from home).
I have a small TV above my desk where I usually keep the security cameras around the house displayed. It's perfect though for tracking nasty weather or watching things while I work.
Can't wait for another year of Milf Hunter winning a deck and reformed Orthodox Rabbi getting nominated!
From the official rules:
Once you provide the required information and submit the form you will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. After you submit the form you will have the opportunity to earn up to three (3) additional entries. [snip]
a) Create a Steam account. [snip]
Okay, that's doable, I guess most people have one already
b) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @summergamefest on X. [snip]
Suuuuure. Who in their right mind would willingly go on X?
c) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @thegameawards on X. [snip]
Again X? How much did Elon pay them?
Can you claim it if you're not American?
Yes, the list of countries that are allowed to participate is on the website.
Australia is not on the list, for instance, but most of Europe is.
Skill-testing question required for residents of Canada.
that’s cold
It's just regulation. No sweepstakes allowed without some "skill" involved
It's a legal loophole to get around our gambling regulations. Raffles are regulated, but tests of skill can be rewarded.
So now it's a raffle followed by a "skill testing" arithmetic question.
Skill issue
I'm not using Xitter unfortunately 😔
It never worked for me. If the store didn't tell me it was pushing updates and about to go live, then I could get through the first few clicks and then "something went wrong,"
So I backed off and waited a while. Then when I came back there was a queue system and I gave up.
Yeah, I tried entering 3 different game awards contests: OLED Steam Deck, Legion Go, and Super Mario world resort tickets.
The Legion Go and Super Mario World contests were glitchy but worked fine, but I could never get the steam deck one to work properly. Probably means they had a lot more people trying to enter the steam deck one than the two.
My personal anecdote is that I only really cared about the Steam Deck. I would've entered the Lenovo one if the Steam Deck one worked.
It appears to only be accepting US zip codes
The reward website is having major issues right now, it's not working for US zip codes either.
I mean, after refreshing a bunch of times because the "website is updating", you'll get there. I tried using a family member's European postal code and it worked, but I think it's only because it's identical to an US one. My Canadian zip code just immediately turned the field red.
RemindMe! 30 hours
I... don't think that's a thing that works on Lemmy.
WELL THEN GET TO WORK
Generally, it's more a tongue-in-cheek reminder for me. 😅
How do we subscribe ?
I'll be checking if there is any tiny words about Titanfall 3, so I might as well try my luck I guess
Thanks for not including legal residents of Australia for people viable to join.
I am from Europe, I just entered the giveaway and then got back to bed.
How do you know the draw results?
Nothing will make me watch this thing live. The ability to fast forward is essential for this show and I do so through 80% of the duration.
Yeah I know what you mean. They try really hard to emulate the pace and speeches/etc of other award shows, but those are the same things that make those award shows so boring and overly-long.
Yea, I typically also don't care much for their live performances, the orchestra and "funny commercial interruptions" not to mention endless Game Pass ads.
I'm going to watch it through Tamaryn Payne's stream. She's the actress of Lohse in DOS 2 and Mizora in BG3. With any luck she can make it entertaining.
