As per this Meta announcement, the Fall 2011 Gaming Grant application process has come to... a bit of an abrupt end.

As Brett, who was running it, cannot actually see deleted posts, this is simply an archive thread meant to post out who did get listed.

Each game will be listed as its own answer, with all of the applicants listed afterwards. I will only be listing the top 10 in the event that there were more than 10 applicants for any particular game, using the original top reputation metric from the original run.

All 9 games for the session have been posted. Please double-check your entry and if something is erroneous or if there is something you think you should add, feel free to edit it right in (or comment me, if you are sub 2k). I'll have Brett mark each post if the games have been ordered.

  • Wouldn't locking and temporarily undeleting the promotional-grant questions be easier? I mean, this way we're losing all the comments in the entries, on the entries and on the opening posts -- about distributors, pre-order bonuses, specific editions of the games, etc. Also, I recall Cyberskull and yx. entering for 3 games, so that'll have to be resolved.

    I'm including extra data where necessary and when stated. Locked or not, undeleting all 9 posts isn't going to be a very amiable act.

    @lunboks: comments for Elder scrolls, Battlefield, Batman are viewable (click the links). The rest did not appear to have any comments.

  • My preferred options went in this order: Skyrim - Batman - Zelda (I signed up for zelda as a third option since I was in the 9th spot for Skyrim and I might be bumped out of it). So someone else can move up and take the zelda spot if I do, in fact, make it onto the Skyrim list.

    So, about this round, since a new one has started... Is this being done according to the new reimbursement rules or not? Should I contact someone (and who? Is Brett still in charge?), or will someone contact me?

  • @MatthewRead Good question. Brett already has my contact information, so I didn't think much of it. Assuming it's acceptable, though, I'd rather just wait until November for the PC release (darn delays :()

The game in this answer is Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7. It is available for PC, PS3, Wii and NDS. The game is released on November 11th, 2011.

There were 3 applicants.

The game in this answer is Torchlight 2. It is available for PC.

NOTE: Torchlight 2 does not yet have a release date. It is possible that it will be pushed to 2012. In the event of this happening, users will receive the game in 2012 and will be able to apply to any one game in the Fall 2011 Grant that still has open slots available. I cannot, however, guarantee that any of the other 8 games will still have open slots in the event of Torchlight 2 being pushed to 2012. It's a risky, risky world, these video games!

There were 9 applicants.

  • I don't really care how, though. I mean, I'm not sure whether Origin supports buying copies for other people, but if it does, it's just as well. Better, even. No shipping and suchlike.

  • @GraceNote: How soon will we receive notices or can we ask about about the games? There are some preorder perks that I wouldn't mind getting (or not) but I imagine we'd have to order beforehand.

  • Grace, this is available for pre-purchase on steam, there are even bonuses for doing so. It'd be cool if you start sending them now even though it's not released yet. edit: 'now' as in 'for taking advantage of the pre-purchase bonus'

    Oct 17, 2011 at 20:29
  • @JuanManuel: It's too bad there isn't one set of pre-order goodies for all retailers. It seems to vary everywhere I've looked. Steam has the Ottoman Doctor (MP?), Amazon has the "Altair Outfit" (SP), and GameStop has a bunch more including the Ottoman Jester (MP), Vlad Prison, and various upgrades and goodies. I'm starting to think I should go for the GS route to get the most out of this.

  • @GraceNote: Sorry to bug you about this again but could you poke Brett for me? I'm trying to get a hold of him without sticking comments on unrelated posts and so far have been unsuccessful. Or perhaps a process for communication needs to be solidified for all grants. You guys know how to contact us but we don't really know how to contact you guys back.

  • @GraceNote Can you check with Brett on this for me? Now that it's out for consoles, I thought Brett may contact me about a Steam preorder but haven't heard anything about it. He and you both should have my email address. Thanks :)
