Man, I love Baldur's Gate. Someday, SOMEDAY, I will actually complete my continuous playthrough of BG1 and BG2 (have GOG games). I think I've started that series about 8 times over the years, get distracted by some urgent real life event, forget where I was, and then I start over again. Still, BG is just great. Good suggestion!

Full Bore reminds me a bit of Pushcat and Wyv & Keep, both game I enjoy.
Risk of Rain does look good and has been suggested by someone else, although the first person doesn't want the keys I'm giving away. RoR looks like a fore-runner at this point.

Please understand. We have a policy of winners activating the games the win on the site. A BTA bundle includes the whole bundle, not part of it. If the winner doesn't realize this and marks it as received, they're likely to be suspended in the future for non-activation.
And I DID suggest a solution in your support ticket. If you don't like it or choose to ignore it, that's on you.

I don't quite understand the problem, why wouldn't support be able to tell if a bundle was activated or not? Wouldn't they just need to check if that set of games is in the winner's library?
Edit: Oh nevermind, I thought that was the whole bundle.

Since you're posting in this thread, I guess I have to respond. You didn't suggest a solution when you closed the giveaways, and when I filed a support ticket as suggested in the FAQ/guidelines, you said you don't actually provide the solution suggested by the FAQ. If you had sent your suggestion after the first giveaway closure, it would have been a completely different feel. We're just talking about the difference between treating people with courtesy vs. taking heavy-handed approaches. Perhaps in the future if you reach out and explain to users why you're their closing giveaways, then the same actions would seem reasonable, instead of insulting.
And to be fair to you, your approach was standard admin stuff, taking action without communicating clearly. I have to get on the devs, engineers, and IT folks all the time in my professional life to remind them that assuming someone is NOT an idiot and suggesting helpful solutions is what will keep me from having to come over and calm angry colleagues and customers. It seems like a difficult lesson to learn.

Typically the deletion reason is all that is needed to communicate why the giveaway is deleted. Directly contacting every user for every deleted giveaway is not a viable option.
Immediately after deleting the second giveaway, I realized we had the "Notes" field on the deletion screen. Something we didn't have before, and is new to me. I apologize for not using it.

Yes. If you like RPG games, Deathspank is one of the good ones. The entire series is very good.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you will enjoy the same kind of games as I do (rogue-like/rogue-lite):
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Risk of Rain
FTL: Faster Than Light
This War of Mine
Spelunky
Half Minute Hero: The Second Comming
Darkest Dungeon
Sword of the Stars: The Pit
Dungeon of the Endless
Nuclear Throne
Check the games in given order :3
and for platformers:
Rayman Legends and They Bleed Pixels
Btw I don't really want the HB key ;p

Yes, I think we agree on those games. Necrodancer is definitely on my list of things to pick up when it's on sale. I have so many good Roguelikes to play that $15 seems a little pricey. Strange how that works, isn't it? I happily plunk down $70 on a flight simulator when it's the only good one on the market, but I spend less per item on flooded categories. I'm not 100% sure why.

I will never feel like that about good rogue-likes. They often offer 50h+ of playtime ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree that they are incredible value for money. In my experience, a good Roguelike can give me years of play time. That's also the problem. I have so many good Roguelikes already, so any new one is taking time away from the ones I already play. =(

I have already played 100h of Starbound and really enjoyed it. There is no real reason to w8.

I would definitely suggest Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball. It's such a fantastic game in which You can spend just few minutes (if You don't have much time) or play it for hours - it's addicting. It's also very rewarding, providing a lot of fun! Just look at its reviews!

Definitely! Also, people are talkative and helpful :) So is dev who is awesome!

From your wishlist, I would recommend Skyrim, Transistor and Ittle Dew.
Skyrim: If you would rather wait for a deal, I purchased the Elder Scrolls Anthology for $15 on Black Friday, which includes steam keys for Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim with all their DLC (It's a single Steam key for everything). Right now it's about $30 on Amazon, which is still a really good deal. Easily a couple hundred hours of gameplay here. The ability to mod the game is also a huge plus and adds a lot of replayability (Is this even a word?)
Transistor: I just finished this game. The music is beautiful, if a good soundtrack piques your interest. You'll also get a kick if you're familiar with computer programming, due to the references they make. The gameplay is also very unique. You get a bunch of functions and each function has an active, support, or passive trait which lets you combine them in pretty interesting ways. Took me about 17 hours to get all the achievements for this one.
Ittle Dew: If you loved the Zelda gameboy games, this will be right up your alley. The premise is pretty simple, you can obtain three items to help you solve various puzzles. However, the puzzles can get pretty complicated. You only need any two of the three items to complete the game and you can get these items in any order, so there's many different paths you can take to beat the game. Some of these puzzles are pure genius, and are worth the struggle to figure out the answer. This one also took me about 17 hours, but a lot of time was spent trying to figure out the solutions to puzzles in the Master Cave myself!
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other information. Good luck!

That ES Anthology is a great find! I've been holding off on rebuying MW and Oblivion, since I owned them on disc years ago, but getting it all in one is really tempting. Now Daggerfall is a buggy pile of whoops, but with the community fixes, it can still be fun. I'll bookmark the product on Amazon and watch for a sale.
And thanks for the explanation of Transistor.

So I don't know the entire story and if Bobofatt's suggestion got through or not, but if you want to give something like this in the future, you have to list it under one of the games in the bundle, rather than saying it's the full BTA bundle.

Buy the 2nd season of Walking dead or Wolf among Us or even Papers, Please. Two new games which I hear are nice: Life is Strange and Dying Light.
Edit: I forgot GTA V.

Did you enjoy playing SpaceChem? Because now there's a sequel: Infinifactory!
It is in early access, so the reservations you've expressed towards some of the other suggestions in this thread may apply; but the game is in a pretty solid state, and they're planning to add more to the campaign as they go, so I'd wager there's less risk of burning out on it than playing more open-ended game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I love SpaceChem! Steam doesn't accurately log my time in it, since I played for about a year on the DRM-free version first. Such an awesome game. I've been hesitant about Infinifactory, because I couldn't tell if the 3D translated into gameplay as well as 2D did. Have you played it?
Comment has been collapsed.
I have. Let me see... 29 hours in the past five days? That can't be right...
As to how the gameplay translated, well; Mechanically, it's different in a number of ways. The way solutions are constructed, and the types of puzzles you're solving are really not like SpaceChem at all. It's almost strange to say that overall the process of solving the puzzles within the constraints gives me much the same feeling than SpaceChem did though. I'm probably not selling it well, but I've been having fun with it. My only real complaint is that, in it's current state, it's not as long or as challenging as SpaceChem was, but while they're still making campaign levels, there's always going back and optimizing your old solutions, as well as a level editor for custom puzzles via the steam workshop.
Oh, and in addition to the histograms, there's a mini-leaderboard for your steam friends; so if you do end up picking it up, now or later, you're welcome to add me if you like.

So I decided not to continue fighting with the overly aggressive staff about this key I have. Every giveaway I open for it, they cite some undocumented guideline (believe me, I've looked for it), and they close my giveaway without suggesting a solution. That's just about as unhelpful as it gets, but that's not the real news...
I have games to give away! This is a leftover key for the BTA games from the Humble Indie Bundle #6!
The key includes:
If you want this key, and I know you do, here is a quick competition. Look at my Steam account and suggest the next game I should buy. Whichever suggestion I follow up on will win this HIB #6 BTA key as a thanks for the recommendation!
