Giveaways will have much more entries, like the twice total from now. Giveaways with around 5000 entries now will have around 10000. Will be really hard to win for everyone. Didn't you think about that someday? And there will be still more and more members.

And these guys won't create any giveaway

More members should also mean more people that create giveaways.
So maybe the point generation will be reduced/tweaked again, so that people will think more before they enter every giveaway.
Other than that I see no problem with more members ;)

But if there are double the giveaways, we would still only be getting 5%(?) total of the points needed to enter every giveaways, so in theory we could still only enter 5% of the total worth of giveaways regardless of the quantity created, the only time there is a noticeable point surge is when a large amount of giveaways are created for games you don't necessarily want, e.g The Ship. If you did want the ship you would still be stuck with the fact that you could only enter a limited number of giveaways.

You're right about the 5%

It's still a "problem", since everyone gets those points, so OP would be right, that each giveaway will potentially have more entries - so one (out of many) way to prevent this could be to tweak the point generation.

Sorry, I accidentally deleted our highly intellectual debate.
So, joining Steamgifts, you've broke "the balance" too. How are going to fix it?
What do you suggest in future? Any restrictions for new members?
If you've said "A" then say "B".

Why some people complain about every thread? And use the same sentences like "you are getting free games, isnt that enough?" or "another silly thread" or "use the sg enchantmen addon" (yes I am complaining now as well)

SalisMan wanted to discuss something and some guys said the point system should be changed if it comes to 400.000 members. this thread has nothing wrong imo.

Thanks.

I'm not complaining, I just wanted to discuss and know others opinion what it will be like when we reach a lot of members. I hope you can understand me, my english isn't best.

Your odds of winning increase every day, and they're better now than ever.

  • The amount of entries in public giveaways has remained steady for the past 12 months.
  • The number of giveaways created on a daily basis has vastly increased.
  • A year ago we had 1 gift for every 8 users. Now we have 7 gifts for every 8 users.

Why do I feel there should be a note that "A year ago we had 1 gift for every 8 users. Now we have 7 bundle games giveaways and 1 gift for every 8 users (from which 7 bought bundle)"...

Quite a good sharing, and that considering that many bundle games (quite a high percentage indeed) are quite good. I mean, they may have cost less than a 60$ Skyrim, but they are as enjoyable as any.

All in all, being bundled or cheap doesn't mean it's bad.

I don't think that bundle games are the biggest problem. The second statistic shows three dates when the diagram goes up really high. I don't really know about the first one (I guess it was faerie solitaire?), but the second one is at the date when www.summerseal.com gave away tons of free Shadowground copies. Now it reached the highest point ever, mainly because of The Ship and Dota.

Well if we left those games out (they are now considered bundled so I think they are included into that category) We are left with quite a good statistic, aren't we?

I mean, apart from loading issues and not finding games on where to spend my points it's not that bad. I think. Let me know if you differ.
