Winners selected! I had a compiled list of 250 entrants. I put all 250 into an excel spreadsheet and sorted them alphabetically. The chosen six winners were numbers 50, 145, 103, 86, 83, and 58. That corresponds to GAF users Dizzycrow, Nezzhil, Jonneh3003, Hitchhy, Hannes, and Ephemeral. Working on sending PMs now! If I don't hear back from someone within 48 hours, I'll draw a new winner.

Winner status:

1. Dizzycrow - replied, requested to wait for Steam version
2. Nezzhil - replied, requested to wait for Steam version
3. Jonneh3003 - replied, will receive Original Ori since the DE was delayed for Steam.
4. Hitchhy - replied, requested to wait for the Steam version
5. Hannes - replied, chose to wait for the Steam version
6. Ephemeral - PM'd, didn't reply, Luis1986 was given the prize instead as he was first to respond. :)
7. Twitch winner: Ovlv5 - received original on Steam.
8. TA blog winner: Ogambler - received DE on Xbox One.

Note: If a lot of these guys alreay have the original, since giving them would only cost $5, I will probably draw more winners. I had intended to spend at least $100 on the giveaway. Will update thread if more winners are drawn!

I want to do another giveaway for Ori and the Blind Forest, this time in honor of the upcoming launch of the Definitive Edition. Details on the DE HERE .

This is a three-fold giveaway here, on TrueAchievements on my blog, and on my twitter/twitch feeds (@KorbeKGaming, twitch.tv/korbekgaming). My twitch is not monetized, and has no ads, and I'm not doing this to garner subs. You're free to enter without subscribing to either my blog, or twitch. I'll only be choosing one winner from the blog and from twitter/twitch, for a total of two, and the remaining winners will be chosen here. I plan on giving away a minimum of six copies of the game, possibly more depending on some outside factors.

I will be streaming Ori over the next week, from 830am to 1030am US Central (230-430pm GMT I think?), as well as late night Friday and Saturday (midnight to 3am Central), so if you'd like to enter there, just drop by my stream and say hi sometime (and preferably leave me with some sort of way to contact you, since twitch PMs are kinda garbage).

If you already own Ori and the Blind Forest (original release), then you would receive the paypal funds necessary to purchase the DE, because as I understand it owners of the original will be able to 'upgrade' for less than the purchase price of the full DE. We'll see how that all shakes out, but rest assured I plan on making sure all winners receive the DE in whatever way necessary.

GIVEAWAY ENDS WED, MARCH 9TH AT MIDNIGHT CST, to give me time to draw entrants and backups in case first winners don't respond. Have your replies in before then! I'll random.org the winners then, and PMs will be sent to make arrangements within a couple hours of closing to try and get things in order by c.o.b. Thursday.

Watch your inboxes Thursday, early morning!

Rules:

1. To enter, either post a reply here, a chat message on twitch, or a reply to my blog on TrueAchievements.

2. Use the #SpreadMoreFeels hashtag in your reply. This helps me sort through the noise of non entrants.

3. Watch this thread and the blog on March 10th, where I will announce the winners (and PM them) so that we can get things settled before release.

4. Honor system - please only participate if you can't afford to buy Ori. Remember, Karma. I'm trying to get the game into the hands of people who wouldn't otherwise play it, because this game deserves to be played by as many people as possible.

5. If you win a copy, all I ask is that if you like the game (which I'm confident you will), spread the word and let your friends know about it! Maybe even buy it for someone else if you come into some extra cash one day, pay it forward as it were.
 
Cool mate, thanks. I hold my finger on the winter sale and I did the right thing, wether I win it here or not I'll be buying a copy!

Good luck everyone :)
 
Don't forget to read the rules guys. If your post is an entry, include the hashtag. It helps me sort out who is and isn't entering. It isn't out of some crazy love of hashtags, lol. Lets me use Ctrl+F to sort through the replies and compile entrants. I'm off to bed now, but I'll see all of you at Mt Huru (hopefully).
 
In for this. Nice gesture.

One of those games I've been curious about but never quite pulled the trigger

I'm going to skip the stream though as this looks like something to enjoy first hand initially
 
Edit: I didn't properly read rule 3, so I'm removing myself from the contest since I can actually afford to buy it if I want. Good luck to the rest of GAF!
 
That is so nice of you. Heard many good things about the game but never managed to get it .
