A heartwarming initiative on Reddit titled "Can't afford the game? Let me help" has ignited a wave of generosity among gaming enthusiasts. Launched by user verdantsf, the campaign was born out of a desire to pay forward the kindness they once received during their own tough times. Verdantsf kicked off the effort by gifting five copies of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to fellow users, and overwhelmed by the positive response, they followed up with another five copies. In total, they distributed games valued at approximately $600.

The movement swiftly gained momentum, inspiring around 30 more individuals to purchase copies for those unable to afford the game themselves. Warhorse Studios, recognizing the outpouring of support, stepped in by gifting verdantsf a collector's edition of KCD2 and replenishing their stock for further giveaways.
After receiving five additional copies from Warhorse, the third batch was distributed. "The developers are amazing. Thank you for the collector’s edition!" verdantsf expressed gratitude, also praising the subreddit moderators for fostering such a positive community.
Reflecting on the initiative, verdantsf noted, "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!"
Assuming each participant purchased one copy for someone else, it's estimated that over $2,000 was collectively spent on buying and gifting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This remarkable act of community spirit, coupled with Warhorse Studios' generous contribution, showcases the power of goodwill within the gaming world—a rare but heartening occurrence.
