Giveaways are for viewers. If it plans well, there _may_ be playerbase goodies, but I can’t make any promises, sadly. ---

No, any viewer who participates in the giveaway (basically just watch and post a hashtag during giveaway time so the drawing algorithm knows you want in). Our channel doesn’t have a subscription. I think it would be better not to make assumptions on why we hold this event. None of us are doing it for the money or fame. ---

Once again, with great respect for your work, thank you! Got it, looks good. _My suggestion for @Fatshark_Hedge : please, more support similar Events in future, especially with keys. Especially with keys that cannot be bought in Steam Store. For example, separate hats from the old Giveaways (like a white elven sock “The Outsider”, I missed this, like many others, although I was with you all 5 years). Or “Eternal Serpent” frame for V2…_ _Maybe I’ll get lucky again._
