In future, I suggest posting the titles of the games, and giving out the codes via private message after a day or two, to randomly chosen people who have replied to the post by then.
When they're posted publicly like this, or given to the first responder, they tend to be grabbed by bots and resellers.
Unfortunately, that's not effective against modern bots, since an LLM can easily solve such puzzles.
It also favors people who script notifications or spend their days on social media in order to hoard game codes, rather than giving people who would actually play the game a fair chance. I don't know if this has become common on Lemmy yet, but it was very common on Reddit.
Ah, but in my example, you'd have to determine if I was speaking about the two mushrooms in the common verse or if it was every mushroom mentioned in the entire song.
But yeah, otherwise it's best just to avoid any possibility of bots and use DMs.
As suggested, here are some other games for which I can send codes. (These are from Amazon prime if you care)
Dark Deity: Complete Edition (GOG)
The Smurfs 2 - The Prisoner of the Green Stone (GOG)
Dark Sky (GOG)
If anyone knows how to to give away the games that go through Epic, I will post those too. I probably have an epic account somewhere but I won't play them. Those games are:
Let's Build a Zoo
Session: Skate Sim
Mortal Shell
Crime Boss: Rockay City
Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior
Sands of Aura
Skydrift Infinity
Same story on Amazon games. If you know a way to claim them, let me know.

I didn't think of that, good idea.

It's also common practice that when you post a code publicly, you should try to obfuscate some of it, such as:

FYI this isn't the community for giving away keys, something like !Randomactsofgaming@lemm.ee or !giftofgaming@lemmy.world would be better
