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 (self.gaming)

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?

I'd say a GameStop gift card should be fine, they should be able to buy most games there except for PC games, and if that's what they're after they should be able to spend it on a card for Steam, Roblox, epic, etc at GameStop. Same logic should also apply to a visa gift card I would imagine.

Either that or an Amazon gift card

This, Amazon gift cards can be used online to buy any gift cards you want. It's our go to gift for that reason in our family
