I noticed a few threads about people saying list the free games so we don't put them up by mistake, and take down the giveaways that people got for free and reposted in.

I understand the rules and reasons for these, but I was sitting here thinking and . . . what about the people who didn't get a chance to get those free. Or people who buy bundles with games that were free in the past in them and still wish to share them. (already have)

So I thought . . . why not allow people to post games they get in giveaways, but with a few modifications. You get NO level experience for doing so. The system would have to be updated and keep track of such like it does the bundles already. And two, the cost 0 points to enter for. Since they were free to the user. This just allows those games to be found and entered by others who have missed out and still want. Yes the poster gets nothing out of it but I have a feeling a lot of people who put up games are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts anyways.

What do you guys think? hides behind a wall in case the rotten fruit gets thrown.

oh no problem. i wasn't meaning to sound like a smartass with the "i think" either, i meant hat genuinely cause i don't know if maybe something made him change his mind on it or not. i know support was worried it might cause too many re-rolls, however the support size has been doubled since then, so i'm still hopeful personally. xD

You didn't. I'm actually excited to read about that. It will take a bit of effort to set them all back in if he deleted them all. But it would be really nice us if he did, at least in my eyes.

I read somewhere that cg is currently reconsidering how to handle free games. If so, we should be able to freely giveaway them without worries.

...Or was it about bundle games?

Edit: Nice! Read the link above.

Thanks and yeah it was about games people got for free. I notice some pop up in later bundles, not something easy to keep track of. But people like me have nothing better to do with them sides hunt down maybe a friend who wants or push it on one of them. XD I prefer given them to a site like this who may enjoy them.

Do you know that some free games giveaways will give out duplicate keys.
SG support will be very tired, if their givers want to delete this kind of giveaways.

Duplicate keys? The same key working multiple times?
I'm hoping our users will be respectful and responsible. That this would be more for those keys you get in bundles but you already have. Or when a giveaway goes up but you had already bought the game. Maybe have it to where they can't set up until after the official giveaway is over? Like Dungeons 2, if someone had an extra key for that once the giveaway is closed. As long as the key is still good. Or an extra game somehow.

You probably missed out on those because people were grabbing stuff they didn't want for like 1 free CV.

Or people like me who have been buying steam games from steam for years only now started to look into other places. And realized . . . oh there are legit sites out there with free stuff. lol I know I can be a bit dense. ^.^;
