I have a bunch of extra Steam keys. Anyone want to come up with some ways for me to give them away?
8I have a bunch of steam keys that I don't need and want to give away. Most are extra or duplicate keys from humble bundles, a few keys from miscellaneous places and a handful of Origin keys if anyone actually uses the origin launcher.
I can't think of any good ways to give these away. So does anyone want to help me come up with some ways to shares these games?

You could post about it in a forum on the internet.
@hallmike Yeah, but that's boring. And I think I have too many to just do a forum free for all.
You could just post the list somewhere for people and what happens, happens. That seems like the least amount of hassle for you.
You could make a kick starter for a daily deal site. Once you raise the funds, you could send a bunch of random stuff to the people who purchased one. In some of the boxes, you could include a puzzle. The answer to the puzzle could be GPS locations to a geo cache. In the cache could be a piece of paper, with the steam keys in it.
@lichme ...and a bottle of Captain Morgan
@2many2no two bottles
@metaphore here's some ideas:
Internet scavenger hunt - prizes are steam keys
Put together a creative writing piece for each key you want to give away, something like a first person journal entry, narrative, or something like that. Be vague, first person to guess the game gets that game's key.
Rebus puzzles for the game names!
You could just give them to me. I mean, no muss, no fuss...
Why not do digital fuku bags for people?
Host daily contests in the forums and email the codes to the winners. Keeping with the theme, they should be video game related (i.e. Highest score on Flappy Bird)
...and like @BillLehecka I could take them off your hands as well
@TheAlmighty1 couldn't we all, LOL
I like a lot of these ideas. Going to wait a bit for more ideas and a little more interest and start giving some away in a few days.
I am glad my eldest goes back to military school tomorrow. Even with computer imposed limits turned on, I am so tired of hearing nothing but Steam and games. Please do not give me those keys.
@Pamtha Thank the goddess you're not my parent
Set up a steam gift exchange. Kinda like how meherican exchange thing, but for steam.
Sell them to @Snapster so we can have a steam key sale day.
@duodec YES
@duodec +1
Put them out on the curb. Somebody will find them 🏆

@metaphore sweeeet and thanks
@humper - read the comment above this - are you interested?
@metaphore I throw my hat in the ring for FEZ, always wanted to try that game :)
@metaphore
I'm a bit late, sorry for that!
My question, do you still need to get rid of those steam keys? I'd love to take some of your hands! A friend of mine is having his birthday soon and I want to give him a good game. I was thinking of Civ 5, and then I stumbled onto this page. I couldn't thank you more for a key!
@metaphore I remember playing Bard's Tale on an Apple ][ GS, first place to play games in color on a home computer. Loved that game.
Tried playing the modernized version somewhere and found it lacking. Guess tastes in games change as you grow old.
not really, but updating like remaking movies often lacks something
@Cerridwyn If you played the Bard's Tale that wasn't from GOG or your original disks, it's not terribly surprising you weren't into to it- that's a totally different game focused on the humor aspect.
There is a new Bard's Tale coming out, which is a successor to the original series: Bard's Tale
@dashcloud wow, thanks!!!
@dashcloud GOG is great, although I'd prefer the Windows version of SC2K, not the DOS version (I grew up playing the Windows version). I wish they had even more games.
@MeesTheSame ohhhhhh you are more then just a bit late buddy
In Korean forums when a gemehrous people like you give away something like this, we simply ask people to post their email addresses. Security issue exists but pretty straight forward and simple.
Not nearly enough attention in here
I like this post
Trainz -- I have an offspring that would play Trainz 24x7. And omg I love Scribblenauts -- never knew it was on Steam
Hey there!
This is very generous of you, may I have the Steam keys for these games that I have been looking for a long time...?!
And Yet It Moves
Cogs
Crayon Physics Deluxe
I can make also trade with some games I do have... Do you have a Steam account... or an E-Mail that I can contact you with?
Thanks in advance!
Hi metaphore!
I would be so grateful if you could give me the Ticket to ride, I just bought the board game and I like it a lot
Thank you!
Hey, it's me again.
I've also got a friend obsessed with The Binding Of Isaac, but he only has the remake. Might I have a key?
@MeesTheSame This was posted in January 2015. It's currently 2016.
@narfcake LOL
@narfcake cant blame me for trying though...
@MeesTheSame no we can blame you for trying because you just confused a bunch of excited gamers that saw this year old thread
Make a wind chime with keys
Awesome idea! If my Steam List wasn't already a mile long with titles I've bought on various sales and have yet to install, I'd throw in - but good luck to everybody else!
whoever can post the most interesting story gets a key?
@Preedom
I'm assuming none are left anyways since this thread was started a year ago.
this all seems like way too much, so I don't want them
Interesting way to share...hmmm...guess how many jelly beans in a jar, best Trump meme, belching the alphabet, best celebrity encounter, as you can tell I am a font of just incredible ideas. Hey, best font of incredible ideas!
Who the hell thought it was a good idea to post on this thread from a year ago?
@thumperchick Can you lock this thread? I thought it was going to die off by itself, but it's only confusing people, and the originator can always speak up if it's not supposed to be closed.
@dashcloud Yeah, I kept waiting for it to die back out, but locking it seems to be the better way to stop the confusion. Damn necro-threads.
