    The cause is great, consider it more of a donation given the list of games.

    • +49

      A donation to a regressive dictators pocket. The guy pissed away the 30 billion dollar disaster relief fund on the side well before all this, and when people started questioning it right after the quake, shut down social media access for the entire country.

      • +38

        I agree with you about Erdogan.

        But in this instance:

        "100% of the proceeds will go to Direct Relief, International Medical Corps, and Save the Children in support of their ongoing Türkiye-Syria quake relief efforts."

        • +6

          who do you think they pay to operate in the country?

        • +1

          Oh honey. Sure. Thatll fix it. Just like we fixed Africa!

        • Most of the money given to charity ends up lining the pockets of the people running the charity. Charities are money making scams. Please boycott them.

          Bypass the middle man. Donate directly to people in need if you are feeling charitable.

          • +3

            @RefusdClassification: Can you give some evidence of that?

          • +5

            @RefusdClassification: Couple of an anecdotes, I moved a company into an office space previously occupied by a charity, I was shocked by the quality of the outfit, network points, cabling, server room, power, fixtures, fittings, desks, chairs, the lot, no expense spared and clearly money spent by the charity (everything was branded with their logo). Money well spent?

            Secondly, a colleague of mine came from a small cancer charity, she would share her stories of how the big cancer charities would actively try to out compete smaller charities and that it was no different to any other corporate sector when it came to fighting over the same piece of pie.

            • +2

              @jabbathepom: The most savage individuals I ever met in business were heads of "Not for profits". Case in point : Mormon church just got busted trying to hide $30 billion of assets for tax reasons, in one country.

          • +3

            @RefusdClassification: How do you suggest most people do that?

          • @RefusdClassification: Honestly I'd love an answer to my last question. I'm genuinely curious to know how to do this in a viable way. You're right that charities take a cut of the donation, so it would be awesome to know how to avoid it. How do you bypass the middle man?

            • +1

              @Orion au: I am not sure if you know anyone or systems in place. But Because the country i was born in has / had a civil war for 50+ years, my family and community know when people are going back into the country and usually when someone is, others give them items / moneys etc to take back with them to give to the poor there. Plus there are small put together organisations that ship over things to them donated by the people in the community (not money but old items , clothes etc)

              • @lonewolf: Thanks so much for the answer mate. I'm glad someone was able to give it. I'm sorry to hear that your people have been afflicted by hardship for the past 50+ years as well.

                So it might be a good idea for people to contact any Turkish or Syrian community groups in their local area then? What you said here makes complete sense, but it didn't occur to me, nor, I'm sure, would it to many others, that this is a way to help more directly.

                • +1

                  @Orion au: I know some burmese people who do the same with Burma / Myanmar because of the military coup and subsequent issues they have had the past few years. I have a couple of Turkish friends but havent really heard about any thing like this but i am sure the turkish community would have / know people doing similar things.

      • +2

        Yeah but sadly the people that have been affected or killed are very real. Very ignorant to just assume an entire country is their corrupt leader.

        • +6

          Far more ignorant to assume your money makes it to the ground level.

          • -8

            @[Deactivated]: Nope. Just ignorant and also bigoted really with the attitude you're showing. But hey, if it makes you feel good to not help out by imagining the people dying aren't real and there's just a big baddie over there whose stopping all charity efforts, then got nuts mate.

            • +13

              @Ruddaga: Oh piss off with your low effort, lazy name calling.

              The guy literally disabled social media while people were using it to cry for help while buried alive, to shut down this exact kind of criticism, and wuestions around where the existing 30 billion went. It went to palaces and yachts. Get out of your bubble.

              Hows Africa going? Spend 5 seconds researching how much foreign aid actually makes it to the front line in these situations, and how much grift and corruption is literally endemic in these countries, before you flap your gums again.

              Or you could buy a few video games and pretend you helped a country you never gave a flying (profanity) about before this month. Did you donate when he staged a coup? No. So sit down, and do shut it.

                • -4

                  @Ruddaga: Another 500 words will convince everyone you dont care, muopet.

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: It would be nice to know if there is a real way to help other people in other countries directly…whether it is Ukraine or nearby Turkiye/Syria.
                The reality is that dictatorships are real and so are far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political leaders.
                Maybe there are direct ways to help that don't involve virtue seeking or guilt-tripping. (or name-calling when someone points out a problem with the delivery of the worthy charitable goal).
                I don't pretend to have done my research here, but I certainly appreciate someone warning me to be careful with my precious charitable $.

                • @marcozmitch: Its criminal how little media attention has been given to this same issue affecting syria

                • @marcozmitch: The NGOs are well aware of where their money goes and try to circumvent the various regimes as much as possible. I would be less worried about giving to the Red Cross or the Red Sickle, for example, as they have roots deep in the communities of countries.

              • -2

                @[Deactivated]: That was a western backed coup

    I suppose ‘Quake’ isn’t included?…

    • Disappointed Call of Duty isn't included

      • +19

        That’s in the upcoming Ukraine gaming bundle

      Plenty of unfortunate titles in there …

        (*just felt like I should qualify this as I got a couple of down votes. This comment is made in jest as these are games and it's about fun - even in the face of tragedy - and in no way am I intending to poke fun of the actual situation)

  • +2

    Why no Turkey?

      • +28

        In English it's called Turkey. The character ü doesn't even exist in English. Should we start writing 中国 instead of China?

        • +13

          we don't call Italy 'Italia' or Germany 'Deutschland'. not sure why there's a push to call Turkey by their new name

          • +4

            @RedTaco: Do you call Iran Persia?
            Do you call Netherlands Holland?
            Do you call Thailand Siam?
            Do you call Zimbabwe Rhodesia?

            Get your head out of your ass - countries can and do change names.

            • +20

              @Peekay: Whoa whoa whoa…. next you'll tell me that its Istanbul not Constantinople, or that New Amsterdam is actually New York….

              What next? The USSR is actually a lot of different countries? That there are places like the Czech Republic and Slovakia (snd we cant point to Czecheslovakia on a map)?

            • @Peekay: It’s Türkiye Cumhuriyeti thank you very much. Countries can and do change their names.

            • +2

              @Peekay: Those changed country names don't include any non English letters do they? That's the whole point.

            • @Peekay: yes.

          • +2

            @RedTaco: Because they don’t want to be 🦃

            • @ChadHominem: Yeah, I confused the country Turkey, with a hilarious, made fun of bird, of the similar name; all the time, until the name change.

          • +18

            @RedTaco: Because they asked?

            Phew, that was difficult to form that thought, I'm gonna lie down for a bit.

            • +1

              @eagerfisherman: Yeah I'm about to have an anxiety attack after reading all of the above.

        • -8

          No, in English it's Turkiye.

          Continue being an ignoramus though.

        • +3
        • +3

          Dont use the “ü” then

          Turkiye

          Not that hard

        • As if you would pronounce it correctly either way.

        • Yeah lets talk when its reverted back.

        • +5

          The character ô doesn't exist in English either but "Republic of Côte d’Ivoire" is the official name of that country. We don't call them "Republic of Ivory Coast", because they don't want to.

        • -1

          Yeah it's dumb, do we call now Germany Deutschland too?

    • +2

      we should call it Constantinople !

      • Don’t be a smart s in these hard days. 45000 people died but you are bringing politics in it. Forget Constantinople whatever. That was over four hundred years ago. No more.

    • +5

      I hope this place won’t be called AusBargain. One more letter to type.

      • +3

        AüsBargáin. Need to class up the joint.

    • Because that is the original wording for the nation
      But Int he past the UN has named that way
      Now the nation wants to be called in their own original name
      What’s wrong with that or hard?

  • +42

    Given the amount of TurkiyeVPN deals this site exploits, think it's worth giving a little back. Horrible situation.

      • +12

        That’s a great game, but I prefer The Ungrateful Entitled to any of the games in the Shocking Mindset franchise

        • +1

          The Ungrateful Entitled GOTY edition or the base version?

        • These actually sound like decent games. Someone get on it.

    • +1

      X-Com 2, Ticket to Ride, Euro Truck Sim, System Shock, System Shock 2, Ghostrunner, Mount & Blade, they're just a few from skimming and they're all very good games.

  • -5

    Don't be cheap guys. Get your wallets out

    • Does that mean you're going to pay the full RRP, so as to not be cheap?

  • Would this be tax deductible? I own most the games that I'm interested in, and think this is great initiative. I will be buying

    • +7

      No because you're getting a benefit

      • +2

        Malcom Turnbull's donates to a charity his wife runs, which employed family members. I'm pretty sure he's claiming those donations.

        • +1

          Old money groups sponsor those types of charities. Can get pretty deep, main owner of Tiptop bread is a 100 year old British firm that sponsored brexit groups.

    FYI after redeeming 50 keys you'll get a message from Steam:
    "There have been too many recent activation attempts from this account or Internet address. Please wait and try your product code again later."
    You'll need to wait 30mins before activating the rest of the keys.

  • Has anyone played the gotham knights game before? I like batman but i don't really play games so I don't know if it'd be any fun

    • +8

      Its a batman game without batman.

    • +3

      Reviews say its terrible

    • +1

      It's nowhere near as good as the Arkham series, but if you're a DC/Batman fan it's entertaining enough. I did 100% of it on PS5 and enjoyed most of my time with it while knowing it's not the greatest.

    • +1

      Apparently it recently got a patch that massively improved performance on PC. Doesn't mention any changes to combat which is reportedly pretty boring, like a simple more repetitive version of the Batman Arkham games with no counter/block button. Grappling around open world Gotham is apparently pretty fun though.

    There are a lot of games here. If you want to see quickly which games you already have on Steam, Epic, GOG, etc. use this addon…

  • Can these be bought to play on Xbox? I note it says muliplatform

    • Having a quick look through, they are only redeemable on Steam.

      • True, it does say redeem on Steam. All good!

    Thanks for sharing this OP.

    Not meaning to hijack this, but if anyone interested donating directly, Ahbap would be one of the best choices (nevermind about the governments Kizilay or AFAD).

    I am not sure donation would be tax deductible though.

    • +1

      Thank you for posting the link- hope it helps relieve some suffering. I donated and hope others do too, or buy the games in this post. 50,000 people died and I've not seen anything on TV or social media about it (I hardly ever watch TV though).

      • Thanks for your generosity. They stopped rescue works at 50,000, the actual number can be x5. Some people still dont even have a tent. It is just horrible

  • +3

    500k+ raised so far, how awesome.

  • +1

    I didn't know Mountain Blade was a Türkiysh game, that's interesting

    • +2

      Crysis, original Farcry and Mount & Blade are the most successful turkish games. I cant even count the 4th game lol.
