    From the official rules:

    Once you provide the required information and submit the form you will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. After you submit the form you will have the opportunity to earn up to three (3) additional entries. [snip]

    a) Create a Steam account. [snip]

    Okay, that’s doable, I guess most people have one already

    b) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @summergamefest on X. [snip]

    Suuuuure. Who in their right mind would willingly go on X?

    c) Click the ‘follow’ button to follow @thegameawards on X. [snip]

    Again X? How much did Elon pay them?

    It never worked for me. If the store didn’t tell me it was pushing updates and about to go live, then I could get through the first few clicks and then “something went wrong,”

    So I backed off and waited a while. Then when I came back there was a queue system and I gave up.

      Yeah, I tried entering 3 different game awards contests: OLED Steam Deck, Legion Go, and Super Mario world resort tickets.

      The Legion Go and Super Mario World contests were glitchy but worked fine, but I could never get the steam deck one to work properly. Probably means they had a lot more people trying to enter the steam deck one than the two.

        My personal anecdote is that I only really cared about the Steam Deck. I would’ve entered the Lenovo one if the Steam Deck one worked.

      It’s a legal loophole to get around our gambling regulations. Raffles are regulated, but tests of skill can be rewarded.

      So now it’s a raffle followed by a “skill testing” arithmetic question.

      Residents of Quebec province are also usually excluded from sweepstakes.

    It appears to only be accepting US zip codes

      The reward website is having major issues right now, it’s not working for US zip codes either.

        I mean, after refreshing a bunch of times because the “website is updating”, you’ll get there. I tried using a family member’s European postal code and it worked, but I think it’s only because it’s identical to an US one. My Canadian zip code just immediately turned the field red.

    I’ll be checking if there is any tiny words about Titanfall 3, so I might as well try my luck I guess

    How do you know the draw results?
