We've hit 3,000+ Members on our Official Steam Group thanks to all of our fans support and to celebrate that accomplishment as well as Independence Day (I miss those BBQs living out here in Japan) we've planned a surprise! We are now launching the much anticipated "INDIEdependence Day Giveaway"!
Starting at 12:00 NOON (PST) (GMT - 7:00) July 3rd we will be RANDOMLY selecting users in our Official Contagion Steam Group and Contacting/Putting them down on a list in case you're busy with family/travel for the holidays/timezones. That's one random Indie game given to one random member of the group every single hour for a full 36hours until 12:01AM (PST) (GMT - 7:00) July 5th.
We don't expect a huge influx of users joining the group but if that is the case we've already decided that we will increase the number of indies we giveaway to compensate any large numbers joining the group as we want the chances of receiving a free Indie to be roughly the same.
So once again, this is is how it's going to work
Many of us are not in the States or celebrate Independence Day so remember this has just as much to do with celebrating reaching 3k+ members so fast thanks to all of your support than it does with the holiday. We felt it right to give back and are fans of our previous Indie Giveaways.
I love that feeling of "Will I get one?!" and hope you do too as we will be not playing any favorites and will use software to randomly select all those picked.
Enjoy!
Some good news. Cause I haven't slept in 2 days I slipped up and started 12 hours early which means I just added another 12 games to my inventory for our INDIE-pendence Day Giveaway! So that we hit our target hour of Midnight July 5th! That's a total of 36 hours meaning 36 games (1 game given away per hour)
Awesome gesture, guys! I didn't realize I wasn't in the group though. :C
Quite a few ppl thought they were so we've reached out to those groups to clear it up. Still a full days worth of games being given out. Last game goes out midnight of the 4th of July (PST) So check every hour on the hour to see if you've been picked and have a free game waiting.
Cheers, man! That's some great community management right here.
Thanks again Tats and the rest of the team!
It was our pleasure. Was great seeing everyone's expression especially those that got the game they REALLY wanted by chance haha. We will of course be doing another one in the future as it's a bit of thing for us. We love Indies.
