Indiegala Giveaways has been a thing for a long time now, just nowhere near as popular as Steamgifts.

Well they had a giveaway section for a long time. But it seems that they changed the design since i last visited.

how exactly does the ic work?
I can't find anywhere how many I have, or if it costs real money, or what

When you click on My Account on the top and you get the dropdown, it says how many ic you have next to your profile picture on the right.

As for how you get them, I have no idea. Apparently I had 240. Maybe you get them by making purchases?

I noticed the "Giveaways Library" under my account (thus the thread). I had the same exact number, but no idea if it is based on time, created giveaways, or something else.

yeah, me too.

so, it's basically a poor man's SteamGifts which is really funny, thinking of how SG is really for poor people to begin with

Oh yeah, I see that now. When you expand it, it shows your coin balance and it has a "time to next recharge" countdown, so looks like it's time-based after all.

You get 10 IC per hour, and maximum amount you can have at one time is 240.

I just discovered this also today. Didn't even know I had points, so I entered some GAs.
Wondering if the system of generating points works the same, or with bundles bought?

It's like here: points re-generate over time up to a maximum (240 coins), though I don't think if it's linked to the number of GA's created.

Ah, ok then. Doesn't look that impressive, but I entered a few gibs, so let's see. :)
