which awesome thread this refers to did I miss this time? xD
and you forgot this unbundled gem http://store.steampowered.com/app/407730

Now, now, that would be telling.
Besides, it's been closed now, so no reason to dredge it up again. :)

Wait, who are you sassin'? Did I miss forum drama?

As long as I'm directly involved, yes! I guess I'll be lurking the forums trying to find out.

The thread was created just over 20 hours ago, and has been closed (and thus is off the active discussion results), so it may be a tricky search :P

I do.

Nah, I thought about putting up trashy bundle GAs to be funny, but that was kinda contrary to the point I was trying to make. So only [not jokingly] well-rated bundle games for you :)

Ah Eternity's Child. I was going to post a review for it, but it ended up just feeling far too harsh (don't get me wrong, the game is utter garbage, with floaty controls, enemies that can take far too much damage and respawn and terrible level design, but I did not want a review that could look mean spirited).
Comment has been collapsed.
It mostly bugs me to have to negatively review a game that actually has potential to improve.
For other games, I'd rather make a point of warning off any purchasers as best I can, for their sake :X
Comment has been collapsed.
Eternity's Child was released in 2008, it won't improve. It's in fact not even finished, you only get the first half of the game, and the developer promised that the second part would be included in a future update for free, but it was never released. Luc Bernard has since been involved in several different games (all of which have incidentally been bad. He made Mecho Wars for Oyaji Games, which is a bad Advance Wars clone, Desert Ashes for Nine Tales Digital (not played, looks like another Advance Wars clone) and Pocket God vs Desert Ashes (same as with Desert Ashes).

Oh, no, that was my point-
I'd totally have left neg feedback on that one, mean-spirited-sounding or otherwise. :X

So young.
So angry.
So intense.
So bundled. :O
not you, the person in the other thread ;)
EDIT: Also I like giving away games at midnight. For some reason I create all my GAs in the middle of the night. :X
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually do, too, but just because that's usually when I'm on. I have a hard time getting off at night (bot this site and the computer in general) and I usually end up sleeping during the day, lol.

tl;dr version:
1: Bundle games are worthless, and so are people who put them up for giveaway
2: Can buy bundled games at any point- if they want to.
3: But instead, will generously take our garbage off our hands.
4: But we all suck, so we should be grateful for this.
5: So it's only right that no gibs have to be put up by this person.
6: Because they deserve our games, it's their right.
7: Pff, someone known for unbundled games blacklisted them? Boo-hoo, don't care..
8: Because anyone that doesn't realize how awesome they are is just further proof of how terrible this site is.
9: Because they deserve those games.
10: That they could buy if they wanted to. But they don't...
Because terrible people like us need to be leeched.
It was ridiculous :P

And I though my latest fan, who complained about me putting up too many GAs on the site, was an interesting case. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't forget
11: They have a right to have multiple wins on bundle games because use your brains people they give unbundled before and can buy any bundle they want anytime.

Feels like I missed the show somewhere again.
Still, that glorious rating on Raycatcher. Too bad the developer totally abandoned it and not even sales are put up. Looks like a perfect GA candidate!

Yeah. Was just going to post that I can't see them due to not being in the right group. :( And, I don't know which one that is...
So, thanks for the clarification. I got confused. LOL

sorry, didn't think about that interpretation when I chose them :X
And there's a reason I had to choose those..

I was thinking of "Wild Bill" Hickock, but your reference works even better. And that was a ridiculously fast draw, too. Whoever is planning on dueling you might want to think twice. Thrice, even.

I only give away unbundled games to farm CV when there is a price glitch. Otherwise it is unethical.
Comment has been collapsed.
lawl?
But, in a serious interpretation of that, I do only give away games based on quality for cost.
It's why I like putting up a bunch of great-looking unbundled indie games for people to explore over overpriced AAA games- but why I still wait till they're 80% off to gib.
Mind you, I wait until at least 85% off to buy for myself, it's not an 'only buy cheap for others' thing, but a 'I have little spare funds, better make them count' thing :D
That aside, I try to only put up solid bundled games, because I can put up so many of those, and in the end, one good game == one good game.
But, y'know, i've won so many amazing unbundled games, trying to put one or two fun-looking ones up myself every now and then is the least I can do.
Even if I think the quality is even, that's not relevant to people wanting specific games, and it's cool to be able to offer them a bit more variety toward that when possible. :)

To be serious, I mostly do giveaways for surplus bundle games. But sometimes I try and find something nicer and go for a balance between value and what people have wishlisted. If something is popular enough and I can afford it I'll do a giveaway even if it hasn't had a massive discount. Or if something looks like a bargain and I know it's a decent game I'll go for that too!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nahh, popular is boring. People are getting unbundled stuff off my own wishlist, and they'll learn to like what's good through repeat introduction. :D
I dunno- I think in a way, it's an excuse to share my own enthusiasm over a specific game with others. May be part of why I go for niche games, you tend to get a more specific sort of interest from people for those. :)
Ditto, most bundled games I give away (other than the occasional surplus), I already own myself- though I try to include good-looking games from genres I wouldn't play myself, as well. :)

This is so well stated, this is very much in line with my thinking. Part of it for me is also that mega-popular games are often (though not always) catering to already well-established gaming tropes and gameplay elements, and presently I'm very much interested in exploring as well as sharing my love for games that expand the bounds of gaming and what is traditionally thought of something that will "sell well".

I mean, people who give away games like Contrast, Resident Evil 5, or Alien: Isolation?
Wow, what selfish jerks they are, only giving away trashy games that I could totally buy myself if I wanted to even though many of these games are no longer available in bundles or likely to be rebundled even remotely soon.
Now, give me a good unbundled game like Galactic Bowling or Eternity's Child, or Raycatcher and we can talk.
I've decided to omit further satirical reproductions of the negative comments of the person in reference.. not only because it'd make the tone of the thread less amusing than I wanted, but because I realized the satire and the actual comments were a bit hard to tell apart. :X
I also wanted to include *Snuggle Truck* as the associated game, but it wouldn't let me select it- I am so disappoint. :|
Original lyrics, for the curious:
If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape
.
Yes, I like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's where we'll plan our escape
