Do you hate hidden, invite only, elitist, WL giveaways?
I actually like invite only or hidden links (if they are not too hard to find)

If they're public why make a thread? ๐ค and why would we dislike invite only giveaways, that's what most of us were probably expecting when we clicked on your "๐งGiveaways๐ง" topic... ๐
Oh, and puzzles are great, gotta love those low entry gibs! ๐

This thread is my sign of disagreement for that kind of GAs. Why should we dislike? Because of steep requirements (like puzzles taking forever to solve, just to find out that there is nothing interesting inside).
And I'm not talking about ordinary "trains" that have to be "invite only" to make sense, but everyone can actually join them after reading the topic, with no additional (often meaningless) effort. So they are still public in some sense. Too long train equals no fun
But what's the point in creating GA that no one ever wins (or can't even enter) or that can be won only by a specific user? Why not give that game directly to someone?
Anyway, enjoy my giveaways :)

I'm kind of with you on the puzzles. I'm terrible at puzzles, and so I've stopped trying to do them because it's just not a worthwhile use of my time. I have very little free time, and the hours that it'll take me to solve a puzzle (if I can even solve the puzzle) just isn't worth the small chance at winning a giveaway, and that's assuming there's a giveaway for something I want. The hour (or more) that it'll take me to solve a jigidi is an hour that I could spend actually playing a game.

I enabled the option in ESGST to hide my blacklist stat. If you think about it, the blacklist stat serves no benefit, there's nothing you can do about it, and it just causes unnecessary anxiety. Unless you're acting like a dick and aren't aware of it, you're better off just hiding it and giving yourself one less thing to agonize over.

I don't follow your logic on this one. Puzzle GAs and other invite-only GAs generally make it harder for bots to enter and to some extent increase the chance of being won by someone who's going to play the game, or at least appreciate the game more. They also grant a higher chance of winning than regular public GAs, so to many people it's worth the effort. Basically what you're doing in this thread is making your public GAs (which anyone could already join) more hard to win than if you hadn't posted this thread. So why are we supposed to appreciate this more than if it were invite-only, increasing the chance to win?

The person who plays games spends time playing said games. He doesn't spend an hour on a forum puzzle.

How gamers choose to spend their time varies from person to person. Personally, I spend a lot of time playing games, but I still occasionally enjoy participating in a complicated puzzle if I think the GA makes it worthwhile or if I'm just looking for something casual to pass the time while listening to music. Puzzles aren't for everyone, though, but it seems like a lot of people enjoy them, so I don't understand what there is to complain about. Also, a big part of the invite-only GAs are not puzzles and require almost no time to go through, while weeding out some bots that are made to exploit the system.

I'll follow your steps. I'm going to post links not to public GA's but to games in Steam shop ^^
