Where are all the Whispering Willows GAs coming from?

See title.

-Edit-

I'm aware that it was part of the Groupees Be Mine 14 bundle. What I'm asking is why there are a ton of them after the deal had ended, and the users giving these copies away seem to be promoting a game specifically though these WW giveaways.

Doesn't explain why there are 16 of them right now, most of them promoting SanctuaryRPG.

edit - 19 now

I had to go and look at where I even got it. I seem to buy bundles in waves, so its easy to lose track of which games I got from which bundles. Apparently, this one was from Groupees Be Mine 14. As for the current wave, no clue.

why did they not just make one giveaway with 16 copies, this is more like spam.

"... this is more like spam."

Indeed. But the answer to "why" is given in the giveaway description. Nineteen times. In English.

The answer is - because then you'd read their advertisement just one time instead of 16 times.

maybe they are just promoting the game? (EDIT: that indie JRPG/Roguelike, SanctuaryRPG that is stated in the description)

Since almost all of them are to promote SanctuaryRPG on Greenlight I assume the SanctuaryRPG devs did a deal with the Whispering Willows devs.

Probably this. Still dumb to set them all the same time, like all ending at once. Not fun when the same person is winning more times the same game.

It's weird, as there are several different people doing these GAs to promote SanctuaryRPG. Maybe one of them could come here and explain that. :P

Screw SanctuaryRPG. I'm still waiting on Pier Solar to get a full release off of Greenlight. I voted for that.

a lot of the users are relatively new or nonactive, i'd be surprised if they were legitimate

So multiple accounts is no longer a problem around here? BRB going to add my 13 alts to SG. You'll notice me too when I GA the same bundle games over and over to get 30cv, and copy/pasta the exact same description on each one, but it's cool now here I guess.

Well, maybe they're just part of the group that developed the game and/or friends. Still, it's a matter to be investigated. I understand they want to give the thing big exposition, so they don't want to create one giveaway with several copies, but when it's a lot of copies (like it's been happening), it'll be highlighted in the main page for as long as it's active. I'm gonna open a ticket so it can be investigated.
