Hello everyone.
Because of the Corona Virus I decided to start my own first Giveaway. Because it whas first mainly thought as only in China and because it is my first Giveaway some choices may be strange but please look over it.

The purpouse of this giveaway is to get as many people a game that brings them longtime fun as possible because they are locked at home. Because of it, the giveaway will have following rules

1.) Participators must have an account, that whas created with January 2020 or before.
2.) Only those people, that have a maximum of 250 games on their account may participate. If you have more now is the perfect time to play some of those backlogged games.
3.) You only will be able to get one game. You can change your choice before the deadline has ended.
4.) To participate write which game you want and write how you are now at disadvantage because of Covid 19 but what stupid things or good deads happened to you or did you to someone else to stay strong and not let you beat it.

For example I am a student that is in more then one way depandant on my grandmother. Because she is in the age of risk she told me to stay at home and skip this semester at university if I not wanna do all my life on my own now. But still I do not want to have other people suffer more from loneliness I decided to do this giveaway and because of it, it would be nice if someone give me a chance to play the on GoG released Warhammer Mark of Chaos.

5. The Giveaway will go from 9.3. 1:00 UTC to 16.3. 1:00 UTC. You can still donate if you want but donations that where given in less then 48 hours before the closing will instead going to Finkleroys GoG Comminity Giveaway.

I suppose that we can enter this even though I am not in China?
I am more indirectly affected in my scenario. My neighbours are Chinese and most of the family had left for China early this year because of a family emergency. I offered to take care of their home and the kids that are left here.

I just did not imagine this family trip would be extended indefinitely. They could not leave the country because of quarantine and other logistical matters, so I am still taking care of their home, doing chores for them and looking after their kids. I don't want to make this a complaint because I am glad that I have some time to help as much as a I can. The hysteria in China and even in Canada is exacerbating. Also, it isn't that fault. They do not want to stay in China either, but the circumstances has forced us all in this inconvenient situation.

Actually, I am very happy albeit stressed. At least I know the kids are OK and the house isn't infested with rats or cockroaches...at least for now haha. I try my best but I have my personal affairs to attend to and time is always a rare scarcity for me. I have too many things to do. Additionally, I tried to stay inside with them as much as we can to avoid catching it, but part of my errands require me to go out to work and other duties. Unfortunately, I don't drive either because the gas prices are ridiculous here so I have take the public transit.

I do feel that fear at times. It is very real. People are usually coughing in a crowded bus. Yes, I worry about my own well being but I also know that if I fall from this virus, who would take care of my neighbours kids... I have to stay strong... I have to.

Edit: Oh wait GOG giveaway. Unfortunately, I have been staying with the kids at their place and GOG doesn't have remote play I think. I have been playing steam games on remote play so that worked, but I don't think GOG would in this circumstance. That's fine, I am happy to share my story anyway and I wish everyone safety also. Stay strong everyone!

I think “Relief giveaway” does sound better than “virus giveaway”!
Not in, but wish all participants good luck both in winning a game and against the virus :)
Stay strong and keep alert, everyone:)

Thanks for the giveaway, I hope it'll work as intended :)

I am still of the option that it really isn't that bad and the media is making it what it is not.
Several big events were cancelled due to this even though the events were 6 months away, everyone is over reacting and I hate it.

I'm in for stardew valley.

We had to cancel (or rather postpone, we are not in quarantine) our holiday due to Covid, so instead of visting Rome we will be @home and right now due to the spreading do not even know if we will be in for a prolonged weekend trip. :-/

Okay, little update now. In Germany schools are closed, here in our city nightlife, cinemas, theatres and so on are closed, anything event over 100 people is prohibited. I was in homeoffice allready, due to Corona only being "two hops" away and my collegueas took their notebooks home this weekend, in case our employer lets eeveryone stay home who can to work there. So besides shoppping for daily life (which is hard, as peoplea re hoarding stuiff) you do not leave the house anymore if you can.

Thanks for this thread

I'd go for Dishonored,

i'm not in but I want to share my current situation (since I'm in north italy ( turin, piedmont) and we are currently living in emergency situation with an orange zone in all the country).

The main thing is that you cannot exit your home if you don't have a really good reason (you can go to work if necessary but right now I'm working from home since I can... you can go to the supermarket but only a fixed number of people can enter at the same time) so I cannot go to the bar to drink an hot chocolate or to the restaurant. I cannot see my friends, only my family. Italy is not china of course, we are free to exit from home for a small walk (they still ask you to stay home, but it's only a suggestion right now) and if some people try to break the rules they will only pay a fine or go to jail for only 3 months in rare cases... but I think in the current situation soft rules are not good enough. Many people can carry the virus without feeling sick (young people usually don't feel bad if they catch the virus) but they can still pass it to old and already sick people that will get bad.

There are a few good things:
1. Finally companies are forced to adopt smart-working if possible. I was not able to work from home only because my company didn't want employes to do it. Now they decided that it's better to do it. I wish they will understand that smart-working is a good thing even without an emergency like this one.
2. I was finally able to complete Ni No Kuni and I will play more games. The fact that I don't have to lose 2 hours each day for travel is really time saving.
3. They finally clean places that usually are dirty as hell like train stations.

People like you are what makes GoG great :-)

Not in as my backlog is calling!

Not in, just wanna say +1

Yes of course you can enter. Everyone that has a GoG account before February 2020 and does not own 250 games is allowed to enter. Well have fun with your kids. Thank you for your share and I am a little bit sad that you do not participate because I would really love to give you one. Well mayby there are other people more in need of it. I am really looking forward to this week. Thank you very much. It is people like you that make it great for people like us making GoG great. I wish you a nice day and have fun with your backlog!

Thanks, man! I appreciate that.

thanks for your amability +1
in for Stardew Valley

Well, i cannot say that the virus affected me because in my country theres only 1 case confirmed, there is some kind of fear about the virus, personally my fear as too many people is that the virus spreads too much
For that people who are unfortunately locked in their houses remember
Never lost the hope

As recommendation play any of the TES games theres to much to play :)

Edit: Forget what i said, I was expecting the festival of hamburger in my city (Several restaurants presents each one his best hamburger at a low price) i was waiting for that to go out with my fellas but as preventive method they postpone it

...

Guys I know from another country buyed tickets for trip at big film festival, and it was cancelled before week. This sucks. Also same happens for some games conferences and music fests too. The advice for us was (for prophylactic) something like be home on weekends and trying stay away crowded public places.

I'm in for Wolfenstein: The Two Pack

Thank you but I already have almost all games on that list and I also want to complete Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion, so I will need time XD (and I still work from home so I still don't have lot's of free time like students that cannot go to school). I'm sure there are many people that will need those games more than me
