My last resort.

[DarkMagic]

I have been desperately trying to find someone giving away a key for this game but I cannot find one after a week of searching. I'd hate to resort to begging but here I am... I would love to play this game but I am to broke to buy it and I do not want to resort to pirating it because the devs deserve the money. So if anyone has a spare key or is willing to be kind I would love a copy of RimWorld and no need for the dlc either just the base game is fine.

This whole ordeal has just made me more depressed about my financial situation so that's why I'm here asking so go ahead and give me hate, just be gentle. Also I hope every ones staying safe during these trying times.

A couple of things:

First, and most importantly, you should be aware that begging is against Steam's rules for the discussions section of their service. I'm not personally going to report you for this, but bear in mind for the future that it's not allowed.

Second, the game isn't that expensive. Your average job will pay you enough to purchase the game with a couple of hours of work, at most. You could ask your boss if you could do a couple of hours of paid overtime and pay for the game that way, or you could do something on the side like mowing lawns (which should be somewhat profitable right now when people are trying to find ways NOT to go outdoors). Put your imagination to use and I'm sure you can come up with multiple ways to earn enough money to pay for a 35 dollar game (or your regional equivalent).

And do note this post is intended as helpful and constructive. Don't overlook advice just because it's not free stuff. :)

Unfortunately I am unemployed and have some physical problems so its hard for me to do most work.

There are plenty of side jobs that do not require much, if any, strenuous activity. For example, babysitting, pet walking, tutoring, or perhaps drive people around for Uber. I'm sure someone who has managed to find ways to get 272 games can figure out a clever way to make it 273. :)

I believe in you!

I used to have a job but due to personal reasons I havent been employed for over 7 years and a good bit of my games comes from my friends gifting me them so we can play together. Trying for a job but with not having a car and only a bicycle to get to and from work and living off a road that is without a sidewalk or a bike lane and is super busy makes it terrifying to ride a bike down that road for me.

Well, assuming you have managed to stay alive these seven years (I don't typically speak with spectres, gossip with geists or banter with banshees, so odds indicate you're alive), you have some sort of income to pay for at the very least food, and likely also rent, electricity, heating, internet, and so on and so forth. If you can't accept increasing your income, the alternative is decreasing your expenses. If you don't have a budget already, I'd suggest making one and figuring out what you can spend less on (or not spend anything on whatsoever). Let me know if you need any help making a basic budget, I've had plenty of practice recently helping someone close to me get their economy in order. :)

I live off food stamps and living with my family. I have legit zero money to my name.

Sounds like even more reason to find some source of income, then! All the things I suggested above should work with little to no trouble, or you can use your imagination to come up with something on your own. And if you find something you like, you can even make a career out of it!

And if you really, truly have no desire to improve your situation, why not ask your friends to gift you this game instead of asking random strangers? I mean, if they give you on average one game every two weeks, it shouldn't take long before it's that time again, right? And considering games like Skyrim, they're not giving you *only* multiplayer titles - and hey, even if they do and someone just misclicked Skyrim instead of a multiplayer game, tell them there are mods for Rimworld that lets you play together!

Whatever you decide to do, I believe in you! :)

Then I suggest stop playing games and start tending to your life. An adult should not be relying on his family for food. Your not a kid.

Locking this thread before it gets too out of control. I do not enforce steam rules, only our community rules, but this topic is rife for rule 1 and 2 violations and would rather lock it then have a steam mod ban someone.
