A heartwarming Reddit initiative titled “Can’t afford the game? Let me help” has brought out the best in gaming communities, showcasing a powerful wave of generosity and mutual support. Started by user verdantsf, the campaign was born from a desire to pay forward the kindness they once received during a difficult period in their life. The act of giving quickly snowballed into something much larger than initially anticipated.
The movement began with verdantsf gifting five copies of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, offering players who couldn't afford the title a chance to experience it. Encouraged by the positive response, they followed up with another five copies, bringing their initial contribution to approximately $600. This small but meaningful gesture sparked a ripple effect across the subreddit, inspiring around 30 other community members to follow suit—each purchasing at least one copy for someone in need.

As word spread, Warhorse Studios took notice of the growing goodwill and stepped in to support the cause. The studio rewarded verdantsf with a collector’s edition of *KCD2* and replenished their stock with five additional keys for future giveaways. Following this generous boost, the third batch of codes was promptly distributed.
"The developers are amazing. Thank you for the collector’s edition!" said verdantsf, expressing deep gratitude. They also praised the subreddit moderators for maintaining a supportive and uplifting environment that made such an initiative possible.
Reflecting on the overwhelming participation, verdantsf added, "It's incredible to see so many community members coming together to support each other in challenging times. A big thank you to the 30 people who bought KCD2 for others. Teamwork makes the dream work!”
If we assume each participant gifted one copy of the game, the total amount contributed by the community exceeds $2,000. Combined with Warhorse Studios’ backing, this initiative stands as a shining example of how compassion and unity can thrive within the gaming world. It’s a rare yet deeply encouraging reminder that sometimes, the most powerful quests aren’t found in-game—but in the hearts of players themselves.
