So I posted in one of the other threads here about the idea of giving out leftover Steam keys to people who are willing to donate. The thought behind it is that I can't take much more out of my savings to help get Melee into EVO, but if other people were willing to do so, I have a few rewards that I don't mind parting with to sweeten the deal. So here is a list of what I have.
Humble Bundle 2 Desura Key (Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos, and Revenge of the Titans)
Trine OnLive Key
Humble Frozenbyte Bundle Desura Key (Trine, Shadowgrounds, and Shadowgrounds Survivor)
Humble Bundle 3 Desura Key (Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, And Yet It Moves, Steel Storm, and Atom Zombie Smasher)
Humble Introversion Bundle Desura Key (Darwinia, Uplink, Multiwinia, DEFCON, Aquaria, and Crayon Physics Deluxe)
Dungeons of Dredmor Desura Key
Humble Indie Bundle 3 Steam Key (Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, and And Yet It Moves)
Wizorb, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, and Jamestown Steam Key
Cave Story+ Steam Key
I also have a $25 iTunes giftcard that I haven't redeemed yet.
Now the question is, how should I go about making sure that people donate before I give them these, and how much should I expect them to donate? The answer for the first question is probably just going to be for whoever wants it to send me a screenshot of their donation. In order to make sure that it wasn't an older screenshot from a previous donation, I'll ask that whatever price I ask for have an additional 33 cents to it (it's my favorite number). I'm assuming that would be reasonable. However, I'm not sure if I should ask people to pay the price of the game or if I should ask people to pay a bit more. In the end, they'll be donating to Melee and Breast Cancer Research but they'll also be getting a free game or iTunes giftcard.
Also, I'm sure other people have their own Steam Keys and codes that they'd be willing to donate for this. If you'd like to add more incentives of a similar nature to this, umm.... PM me and I'll add them to this list. I'll be crossing off codes as I give them out.
P.S. I'm not entirely sure if anyone here uses Desura. I know I don't. It seems like another gaming service like Steam (but clearly not as popular). Probably all you have to do is download the service and you'll be able to get the games for it.
EDIT: Okay, so I did the breakdown of all these games prices on Steam (Even if some of them aren't Steam keys).
Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos, and Revenge of the Titans (DESURA)
$10+$20+$10+$10+$10=$60
Trine (ONLIVE)
$10
Trine, Shadowgrounds, and Shadowgrounds Survivor (DESURA)
$10+$7+$10=$27
Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, And Yet It Moves, Steel Storm, and Atom Zombie Smasher (DESURA)
$20+$10+$5+$10+$10+$5+$10=$70
Darwinia, Uplink, Multiwinia, DEFCON, Aquaria, and Crayon Physics Deluxe (DESURA)
$10+$10+$0+$10+$10+$20=$60
Dungeons of Dredmor (DESURA)
$5
Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, and And Yet It Moves (STEAM)
$20+$10+$5+$10+$10=$55
Wizorb, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, and Jamestown (STEAM)
$3+$10+$15+$10=$38
Cave Story+ (STEAM)
$10
iTunes $25 Gift Card
$25 (duh)
If these sound reasonable prices to donate money towards Melee, let me know. I've decided that since some of these games are pretty crazily priced (I probably would have only bought 3 of them had they not been available with the Humble Indie Bundle) I'm not going to ask for more than the price of each set together. I won't even raise the price of the single games by themselves. Feel free to PM me if you want one of these.
Remember to donate whatever the amount is PLUS 33 CENTS. Show me a screencap of your donation in a PM and I'll send you the Steam code, the OnLive code, the Desura code, or the iTunes giftcard. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE! DO NOT POST DONATION PICTURES IN THIS THREAD!
