Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Gamestop gift card, or a gift card for another large gaming retailer like Target/Walmart/Best Buy.
Visa gift cards can be used at any retailer, but yeah, I'm not sure how that works for online stores like Xbox/PSN/Steam.
I should say too... SOME games are platform specific. So if they're asking for the new Zelda game, that's ONLY on the Switch. Makes it easier.
Good point. Did they mention any game titles in particular? We might be able to help sleuth it out.
FIFA and Madden, which are at least XBox and Playstation I believe. Not sure if they are on PC.
FIFA and Madden have both been made for EVERYTHING, so, yeah, no easy way to run that down.
Go for a $140 gift card because new games are often hitting $70 each.
