Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Is So Good Gamers Are Now Gifting It to Each Other

You know a game is good when players start banding together to buy it for others, which is precisely the case with Warhorse Studios' Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. What began as a spontaneous act of kindness from one thankful individual inspired a round of gift-giving from others, with over $1,500 worth of copies ultimately being given away to strangers.

PC Gamer caught this one, which began with a thread on Reddit posted by user verdantsf. They explained: "A while back, I was going through a rough patch. I was in a new town without much support and tight finances. I didn't have enough money for entertainment, let alone games. Thankfully, I had a gamer buddy pitch in. Being able to immerse myself in other worlds helped immensely with stress and my mental health. Things are much better these days, and I'd like to pay it forward."

Pay it forward they did, putting up 10 copies of the excellent game for individuals in similarly needy spots. This act of selfless charity, as charitable acts often do, inspired others to pitch in, with more pledging support all the time.

Conservatively, PC Gamer estimated that around $1,500 worth of Kingdom Come was gifted, but since publication, even more Good Samaritans have come forward. Here's hoping spotlighting the story will result in even more needy gamers hearing the good word of Warhorse's masterpiece.
