Comment on Ive won a game but I'm not a gamer is there a way of donating it to lemmy somehow?

I would look into three things first:
- Do the terms of the prize dictate transferability? In the rules of the contest in which you won the game, was there anything about not selling or giving away the prize?
- What type of game is it? Video game, board game, card game?
- What is the delivery mechanism for the game? Some things will be easier to transfer than others. A physical copy can likely just be shipped to a new recipient. A digital key for a game might be easy to just send to the recipient. Other delivery mechanisms may or may not have a system to prevent transfer.

Thanks I can deffo give it away, it’s steam game which means there’s a key?

Maybe.
If the game is already in your Steam account, no. I can’t seem to run the actual policy down with a quick search, but games in your Steam library are not transferable.
If you have received a key in your email (It’ll be a long, alphanumeric sequence) then you can forward that to someone else, so long as it hasn’t been used by you or anyone else.
If the game was sent as a gift to your Steam account using the Steam gift system. Then no, you cannot transfer it.
