SteamGifts developer Hall of Generosity/Fame page?

Closed
Whispers

There have been plenty of generous developers who have given away a bunch of game keys to the SteamGifts community, but as soon as the giveaway ends the developer goes back into obscurity if they were a smaller developer.

Could there be something like a 'Hall of Generosity' link on the top page, containing a link to the store page of every developer who has given away at least 25-50 copies of their game to SteamGifts in a bundle? That might give additional developers incentive to toss a bunch of keys up on SteamGifts.

You could even sweeten the pot a bit more by making it so the game given away awards double contributor value, to make it more appealing for people to create additional giveaways for that game through SteamGifts. I dunno if that'd be a bit much, though.

I think something like this would be neat, just to give back to the developers. :)

Your suggestion has been noted but not attended to.
If you would like your suggestion to be attended to, please recreate this thread here as we, the people of the forum, have no power in decisions like that.
But, if you're lucky a support member might stroll by.

Huh. It's so rare to see an original and good suggestion. Submit a support ticket with the idea so the admin sees it.

This is the response I got:

"Crossbourne (Mod) (41 minutes ago)

Thanks for the suggestion."

I'm assuming that's not a good sign. :P Oh well.

It's been added to the suggestion list. The administrator will check it when he's able.

Oh, I thought you were the administrator, since you've got tens of thousands of dollars of giveaways. Damn, man, that's seriously impressive.

I'm going to second the confusion here. I regular both SG and GG, but I don't believe I've seen anything like this over on Gala? Throw me a bone if you have proof otherwise.

... Ah. I didn't notice that top contributors was split into two sections. I assumed it was the same as we had here and never bothered to actually look at it. ^^;

... that's for top contributors to the site. Which wasn't mentioned anywhere in my post. Just developers who visit SteamGifts to officially give away a bunch of their game keys.

The first part is great, it might happen, just too much work for cg. :P But forget the second part.

I'd thought about this previously, but abandoned the idea believing that it would promote begging and perhaps even scam attempts towards the top donors.

I know that MoneyHypeMike had trouble like that fairly often due to his generosity.

While I totally agree with "Hall of Fame" - giving additional CV? A big no-no. CV boosters are hated in this community enough already - now imagine if some of them had double CV ;p
