But it's okay, who has not thought something like that one day? Myself, and I've only been six months hahahaha
I took for granted that you spoke ironically ... but saying some truth XD
Whitelist ;)

Leveling only becomes pointless when the number can't go any higher, need to 100% that meta-game. But cakes are happy in any case :)

We start demanding that it should go up to eleven like volume knobs.

Well, for me it did not at all. Continue to share the love and support this great evergrowing community.

Happy cake day! I^v^I
Hell, I was lucky cos I've never experienced problems like you but I'm not even close to the amount of games you've given away. And after a while I switched to invite only and whitelist giveaways for events and puzzle I've organized as well as giveaways for some nice groups I was into that I wanted to support. My income wasn't spectacular back in the day so I had to choose where to put my giveaway but I've tried to give interesting games :) And as it was an upgrade in income for you, it was a downgrade for me over a time and I still try to recover <toolazytopasteshrugemoticonhere>

Sorry to hear that it was a downgrade for you :-/ My thumbs are pressed that you will recover soon.

Man, that some pessimism you got :D Anyway, happy cakes and thanks for giveaway, may it got won by a grateful person, not some game-hogging leech =)

No pessimism, realism ;)
Or how is the saying? "A pessimist is an optimist with experience"? ;)
Nah, in all honesty, I am really not in a bad mood. Since I stopped doing public giveaways the site became fun again :)

Edit: I am not in a bad mood, I am really not :D I even bought Yakuza 0 as a giveaway to celebrate my half decade :)
So, today is my 5th cakeday. I registered on this site on August 15th, 2013. 5 years ago. Time flies.
At first, i was totally overwhelmed and it did take some time to figure out how this site works. I had way less money then, didn't know about bundles and it took really long to climb the ranks. Leveling up felt like an achievment.
Oh boy, how did that all change!
Now I am earning a decent wage, am an expert deal and bundle hunter, my library exploded and collecting games has become a habit. A kinda meta-game in itself.
Leveling up means nothing anymore because there are hardly any games left for me to enter.
My experience with SG in those years? Well.. Meh. The site changed. Shovelware or however you want to call it floods the site. It's logical, because in this SG is a mirror of the current state of PC gaming in general and Steam in particular.
Quality of SG users has also declined. There are still a lot of jewels around but it is harder to find them in the puddle of mudd. There, I said it. And this saddens me. Anyone still around who still remembers the OddLama and his giving sprees?
Well, here is an obligatory giveaway which is very likely to end up in the hands of a leecher with many not activated games who only does region locked giveaways, can't say Thank you and will insult me when I don't send the key within minutes after his win and who will resell the key and claim I never send it.
Public giveaways nowadays. Only for masochistic people.
Edit:
SG community never ceases to amaze me, not even on my cakeday ;) (Pictured comment was posted on my Steam profile mere minutes after this thread went live. Must be an alt account)
Edit:
I wanted to give feedback if the winner was of the category I cynically described, but I can't give this feedback without calling him out, sooo...
Edit:
Unfortunately I had to delete the giveaway :( I bought the key from Voidu and the store page didn't mention a region lock because I bought the key with a european IP-address. But if you visit the page from outside of the EU, you get a warning regarding region lock. Which I could not see. Duh. So my key is EU only and I only found out about this after the original and the re-rolled winner both could not activate the key :(
Edit:
Here is a new giveaway for all your troubles with the old one, this time it should really be a ROW version.
