I am on a hearty losing streak!

Does anybody know if it's possible to gift a digital game for PS4? / how to do it? I can't figure it out :((

I don't think you can any more, unless you're a dev getting a supply of your own codes from Sony. Amazon used to sell codes for some games. Maybe GameStop did too. I think they all stopped. You could gift PSN money, if you felt so inclined. Hint, a PM to me is faster than using Giftbot.

Have entered a few giveaways without posting, but since I need to post 5 times for some of these things, I'll start off with this declaration: if I ever win anything I enter, I'll put up a steam code for Curse of the Moon. Backed Bloodstained for Switch but never saw the emails about changing platform for CotM, so I've held onto it for a while!

I have been asking for proper gifting systems for consoles for years now, hopefully, this thread will push others to ask for gifting too.

They have to listen to us if a bunch of us ask right ;-;

I wish it was easier to gift Steam keys for games that you already own (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Would love to do a raffle with Total Annihilation purely for the sake of evangelizing it.

These are Steam codes from my Humble Bundle keys collection. Hopefully these work. I'm pretty sure they will.

Welp I have lost count on the losses I've had so far.

Hoping the next group of giveaways I enter I can get some sort of win.

It's even worse if you see a giveaway with a game you have on your wishlist or direly want and then it's for "hasn't won this week/month" ;_; ('specially considering it's Thursday and the last time I got a key - which was a leftover one from a giveaway that ended - was Sunday so I'm at almost a week already!)

If I remember correctly, you can either buy the key on a third party site like Humble, or you can buy it through Steam as a gift and get a gift link that way.

And yeah, Total Annihilation was an awesome game. I was one of the few who drastically preferred it over Starcraft back when they were both at their heyday. At least there was once somewhat of a community for the multiplayer for that. I always thought Moonbase Commander was one of those hugely underappreciated gems, and it never really got the attention it deserved.

True story about Total Annihilation. The main creator, Chris Taylor, had worked at EA Canada and left to form his company and make TA. When the game came out, and if you recall the box art showed his name, he took a trip back to Vancouver with a box of copies of his game to hand them out, including to the boss who said he would never amount to much.

Yeah now that you mention... how can I obtain a key for a digital game on Switch to give as a gift or for these giveaways?? Once you purchase on the eshop the game downloads to the console right away.
It varies by title. Some US region games can be purchased digitally from Amazon at which point you will receive a code. Other games can be purchased from the Nintendo web store for regions such as Argentina that do not have an e-shop. If you buy a game from such a web store you will be emailed a code.
