A heartwarming initiative on Reddit titled "Can't afford the game? Let me help" has captured the hearts of gaming enthusiasts worldwide. Launched by the user verdantsf, this campaign was a heartfelt effort to pay forward the kindness they received during their own challenging times. The initiative began with verdantsf gifting five copies of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to fellow users, and due to an overwhelming response, they followed up with another five copies. In total, the value of the games distributed reached approximately $600.

The movement swiftly gained momentum, inspiring around 30 more individuals to step up and purchase copies for those who couldn't afford the game themselves. Noticing the incredible outpouring of support, Warhorse Studios joined in, 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 sent out. "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, underscores the profound impact of goodwill within the gaming community—a testament to the power of unity and kindness in the face of adversity.
