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.

How to gift a video game if I don't know the platform (lemmy.world)

Please help!

We are doing an Angel tree gift this year for an 11 year old who asked for video games. Unfortunately, nothing indicates the platform, and I've tried and failed to find that out. How best to proceed?

We looked at visa gift cards, but it looks like those don't always allow you to add them to your console. Would a GameStop gift card be the best option?

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.
