The time is upon us where we must draw a close to the CE Steam Summer Sale Event 2023.

This event has seen 52 participants in total spanning across 4 topics, of which 36 were generous with the giving of gifts. That's 222 gifts in total, along with copious amounts of keys! This topic is all about you gift givers.

Before we go any further I would like to thank @Nintendo_Porn , @synklare and @EvilResident for their contributions to this final draw. Without your contributions this final draw would likely not exist.

I would also like to thank all of our gift givers, for without you there would be no event. You continue to truly amaze me with your kindness and generosity.

And finally I would like to thank everyone for participating. Once again we have had a successful event which, without you all, would not happen.

And now for the prizes...

The final prize draw is 100% reliant on the generosity of participants, and for this event we have the following prizes up for grabs:

1st: $25 worth of games courtesy of Nintendo_Porn
2nd: $20AUD gift card courtesy of blistr
3rd: $20AUD gift card courtesy of blistr
4th: 10 gift card courtesy of synklare
5th: $10 worth of games courtesy of EvilResident

Those of you who have participated in these events over the past years will know that we usually have a major prize reserved for the giver of the most gifts, and although we were not successful in securing a sizeable contribution this time around, I have a little surprise in store, the details of which which shall be revealed at the conclusion of the final draw.

As I have stated in every topic throughout this event, to remain fully impartial and transparent I am excluding myself from any of the above prizes. All prizes shall be awarded via an online random number generator pitted against the order of gifts given in the Google doc. ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J46DGgbfcQyHImPLJTBlTNvHmTIMbJN8VhXE5fcbWb4/ ). In the event I am selected I shall perform a redraw. All winners will be notified here along with the contributor of the prize. It will be up to the contributor and prize winner to complete the transaction. All prizes are final and no correspondence shall be entered into.

So without any further adieu, let's get this draw started.....

And now that all the prizes are drawn, we come to the little surprise I had in store for the person who gave out the greatest amount of gifts. Seeing as I am excluded that leaves @GATTJT with a total of 25 gifts given out. Well done!

As an added bonus I will award @GATTJT any one game from their wishlist, as it stood at the conclusion of the CE Steam Summer Sale Event 2023.

Thank you for tagging me for the result.

I've added the winner for my draw, as they didn't add me prior to the event finish, I won't be able to send a gift card but will work something out with them within the price range.

Congratulations to all of the winners and once again, thank you for participating in yet another glorious event of gifting and generosity.

As I was looking over everything, dotting my i's and crossing my t's as it were, I noticed an anomaly with the 2nd and 3rd prize draws. Well to be honest the anomaly wasn't with the draws themselves per say, rather how the results were taken. Throughout this event I have stated that I wish to remain fully transparent and impartial, and upon seeing this anomaly I had no choice but to report on it to remain so.

So the results of the 2nd and 3rd draw were 107 and 67 respectively. I announced those winners as jerrygamer2 and Ivynn. They were not the actual winners though, which should have been synklare and SparkItUp. I'll explain how this error occured.

Below are screenshot excerpts taken from the Google doc.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/1/6/AAbuitAAEpOI.png
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/1/7/AAbuitAAEpOJ.png

As you can see SparkItUp was actually gift giver #67 and synklare gift giver #107, with Ivynn being listed on line #67 and jerrygamer2 on line #107. This is purely my error and does not reflect on anyone else.

To remedy this error I will award the 2nd and 3rd prizes to @synklare and @SparkItUp now, with jerrygamer2 and Ivynn keeping their gift cards as recompense.

I wish to apologise for any confusion caused.

@blistr , was a pleasure being part of the event honestly even without the prize...I do appreciate it however. Can tell you this is going to go towards a game that I've wanted for quite some time now that has just sat on my wishlist for a long time...Starship Troopers: Terran Command.

Thanks so much again! Can't wait for the Winter Sale when I can be a prize contributor instead of just gifting. Figure I've benefited from the prize pool twice now and it's high time I contribute to it. So come Winter Sale I will pledge a prize of some sort. Thanks again for correcting the mistake, it meant a lot for you to do so and be transparent about it.

Quite the pleasant surprise, wasn't expecting that at all.

Thank you Blistr for being upfront and honest about it, I'd have been none the wiser in all honesty, came away very happy from the event knowing people had a good time.

Either way, thank you.

Now, to work out what I put it towards, decisions, decisions..
