Its as the title says. Why does no one giveaway a game worth 4$, with unlimited replayability, and is a ton of fun? I would take it over say even a GTA V giveaway, partly because I also do not own a PC and my spare laptop is a crappy one.

Oh, for those who missed out, here is an event I'm running until Friday.

Im well aware I can make one. My question was made in the view that there must be some reason why its never given away in publi, something known only to insiders. Truth be told, I never even knew about the Bad Rats meme until Steamgifters told me themselves.

The game is so bad, people gift it to a person they hate. Also thousands of positive joke reviews have flooded its store page, giving it the rating you see. Basically, its a really bad game thats just 1$, so people make jokes about it a lot.

Eg.

Bad Rats saved my coworker's life

I was walking to lunch one day, going to check out the new deli a few blocks away. All of a sudden, we heard shots coming from across the way. A police officer was across the block screaming "SNIPER GET DOWN!" So I did.

My coworker had already gotten a head start on me, so he was further down the block. I noticed he was now on the ground, holding his stomach, bleeding. The police officer tried to run over to get him, but he was quickly turned away with a BOOM from the sniper, which forced him to take cover.

I noticed the sniper was across down the street on top of the other building. Lucky for me I had planned to go bowling after lunch, so I had my ball with me. I ducked into the building near me, ran up the stairs and up to the top of the roof. I noticed the sniper, but luckily he didn't notice me.

Using the skills I acquired in this game, I dropped the bowling ball off the roof, it bounced off the railing to the fire escape, down a construction ramp, and a perfectly timed subway car came by, the heat from the grate raising the ball back up again. The man in the building across from mine, obviously another Bad Rats fan, saw what I was intending to do, and hit the bowling ball with his baseball bat, flinging it toward the sniper, knocking him unconscious.

The paramedics were able to save my coworker from dying. Thanks Bad Rats!

Thats ok, I dont really take offense to it. The only thing that will ever piss me off here is when a gifter will BL me without giving me a valid reason, only because he/she either loses an argument with me, or gets butt hurt about something.

Tbh, thats a good thing. You gotta earn it to get it. Also, my post doesnt ask for giveaways, it asks for why they arent done often. I really wanted to know, cuz it cant just be the lack of sales. Its just 4$ after all.

Should be noted: someone could assume you're making a begging-for-giveaways thread with this.

Heck, at first glance at title I thought that's highly obfuscated beg thread, but then I saw your profile.

Well here comes my first blacklist (at least that I am aware of). Is it because I didn't comment on one of your giveaway ? I remember one of yours saying "if you win and didn't comment, you'll be blacklisted", but I thought it was only if you won (and I always write a comment if I win). Or is it something else ?

I admit that my description was a bit confusing, so I decided to temporarily add everyone to my blacklist who didn't comment.
The requirement was to leave a comment and most of the users did that. The ban will be removed on the first of July.

Thanks for the explanation (and the future unblacklisting).
Most of the time I don't leave a comment when entering because I know that some users don't like to get thanks messages, and even if it doesn't bother them, there is always going to be a good number of comments so one more or less isn't going to make a difference on how they feel. But of course when I happen to win, I come back to the giveaway to thank the creator.

How is it different to this game?

Let me list it out.

  • 4$ vs 5$
  • Difficulty is toned down.
  • Levels are much more well designed and not monotonous.
  • There are way more gameplay elements, like multiple vehicles, conversion portals, vertical & horizontal level design etc.
  • 30 music tracks, with support for anything from Newsgrounds Portal.
  • User level editor and designer, which gives unlimited replayability.

This game started out on phones, and got a PC port after tons of requests. Definitely would pick this over Impossible Game.

There was a sale on it? How long till it ends? If it hasnt, you can still buy it.

one currently running you can see on his profile - you're not able to search it as you're not a member of the group. And others have already ended, so they don't show up on search either ;p

Yeah ok, but Im talking about public giveaways of the game. For some reason this is given away just as frequently as Culling of the Cows. (Tell me if you get the joke.) Something that I never understood.

well - you asked why is noone giving it away, not why is noone giving it away via public GAs :D:

I guess that as the game has never been discounted yet, ppl who buy it for GA purposes and paid 100% for it would rather give it away in restricted manner ;) Most of public GAs are for either bundled or discounted titles, and a few promoting groups etc - but if you want to promote group you'd rather do so with well recognizeable title that a lot of ppl want, not with obscure Geometry Dash most of ppl didn't heard of ;p

The game is hardly obscure (Google it a bit and you will see) but the rest of the points make sense. Its never been on sale, so giving it publicly would make lesser sense than in private.

Guess Ill have to break that trend. Just you wait.
