How long will it take to give away 2000 games?

Open
Spazfrag

Have any other of you had some experience with large giveaways, and how long it may take?

Just after a very rough time or estimation based on any experience you may have had. I'm trying to give games away on only a 1 hour timer, but it still seems to be taking forever. I'm pretty sure I'll burn out before I get to 2000.

My cap at the moment is 34 giveaways at once, but at any time it seems that around 25 of them are awaiting feedback (some going back days).
Any tips? Suggestions? Hard learned lessons?

EDIT: The 2000 games I'm speaking about are from a pre-existing list of bundle left overs.

Open a support ticket and request more slots.

Is that really a thing? I haven't seen anything mentioning that before.

Yes, it is a thing. Developers often do that for large giveaways, but it's also possible for other large giveaways.
It's not the fastest type of ticket to be processed though, it requires around a week before it's done.

Thanks guys, I'll look into that as it would help a lot.

Yep. I did it when I was making my first big train, and my ticket was actually processed in a few hours. :)

Your main goal isn't level 10?

Nay, my main goal is to give away my list of bundle left overs. Hopefully I'll get level 10 one day, but it's not a priority, just a nice perk.
I am aware I only get 15% if the game has been bundled before.

Or buy 2000 copies of a cheap game and make a 2000 copy GA.

There's a script to make a large number of giveaway easier but I never used it :o

Well, I did about 100 GAs once in around an hour. If you want more, that should be scripted somehow.
If you mean just getting slots, it was mentioned already: just send a support ticket with that request.

Your cap keeps getting bigger and bigger. Shouldn't take very long. Remember to put all the copies of one game into one giveaway. As revilheart said, you can ask for more slots. Obviously creating all those giveaways is not very fun and will take awhile.
