You've seen it before: someone posts five separate giveaways for the same title, instead of just putting up one with 5 copies attached. I can't help but wonder why.

Now I want to buy 6 copies of the HB monthly and make 6 mad max giveaway that last 1 hour.

That would need six accounts and six PayPal accounts, or a lot of trading…

Oh, you can't buy 6 gift copies? Shows how much I know about HB gift purchases. I've only ever bought my own copy and given away the extras.

You can buy any amount of gift copies, but HB monthly is 1/account, you cannot buy more.

Sure, but he asked why make separate GA's, so I gave an example of what I thought was a good reason.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to say your name out loud btw :p

There's no pronunciation for it. The first three are my initials and in game most people just call me by that.

If there's something wrong with the GA, support can more easily work with single copy GAs. I for example have two copies of a 4 copy giveaway waiting for deletion from 2 months back because the giveaway only had 4 entries and 2 of them hadn't bothered to check if they owned the game.

Maybe

  • They aren't sure if they get CV for all the copies if they do a multi copy giveaway
  • They think their number of giveaways will only go up by one because they only created one giveaway
  • They want it to look like there are more giveaways when someone scrolls through the games they gave away
  • The want to drain more points for the people who enter for one reason or another
  • They don't know how to create giveaways for multiple copies because there is no option when creating the giveaway, you just have to enter multiple keys in the box

The number of giveaways does only go up by one with a multi-copy. Your given away game count increases by the amount of keys.

Oh, you're right. I was talking about the "gifts sent" number. I didn't even realize that the site also counted the number of giveaways as a different stat and displayed it in everyone's profiles.

As someone who had a 80×1 one (and will have a much larger one in a few weeks), and 6×20×1 a week ago, all I can say: why the fuck not?
