SHAME ON YOU!

Hope all the credit is removed for that game, the developer tried to do something brilliant for market presence and really nice to us, naturally ppl have to abuse abuse abuse.

To the rest of you those of you who reported to wadjet eye that their giveaway was unintentionally giving away every single game. I love you and thank you.

Sincerely
The Wrinkle

Well, I made a giveaway of the single key I got. Just wanted to share. Sorry. ;(

There was really no reason to "share" since everyone could get it for free and a post was made on this forum about it.

I felt the same way about those too.

If you don't want the game then why get it instead of leaving that chance for someone who would appreciate it?

Oh yea, CV greed.

What "CV greed" if those games are marked as bundled? Most people giving those games away already had at leasy 30$CV anyway.

I sort of agree with this as well. I downloaded the DRM free, and look forward to playing it, but having a steam key would be cool. Either way, if I like it and want to support developer I'll buy it myself dangit.

I love this apologist no blame concept. Taking something from someone and giving it to someone to your benefit is wrong. I don't see a single thread from these "generous" folks helping the public with information on how to get their own copy. No people giving this game away are doing it for greed. The opinions on why it's ok don't hold any water, it's cognitive dissonance and self justification.

No one benefits here other than people who will get the game. He has a right to ONE key. It's his own decision what he'll do with it. Selling it would be indeed wrong but giving it away so someone else can play it is good.

It's being given away through a system that rewards the giver. I can see why is that regarded as wrong.

Its called sharing when you opet a forum thread informing people that they can get a free code for a game. When you get 5, 10, 15... codes by yourself and then give them away on public giveaways thats lame.

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't see OP talking about giving away multiple keys. He basically said that every person giving away at least 1 copy of Blackwell is an abuser. I agree that snatching more than 1 key is not fair. But claiming one key (because you can, 1 per person is fair even if you own the game) and giving it away is fine IMO.

Personally as was stated above, when we could all get the game for ourselves, taking the free gift from them to get credit for yourself is abuse in my book.

Did they buy the game? Is it within the realm that wadjeteye intended for their giveaway? These people are taking someone else's intellectual property, without paying for it, and distributing it, more often than not for their intended benefit. To try and justify that is weak and sad.

They're not selling it. They don't benefit. What's so hard to understand? You trying to be "holier than thou" is laughable. Mr Saint. Going around on forums yelling that peoeple giving away games are bad is actually weak and sad.

This was already a previously bundled game. You get no credit for it. And I heard they fixed people getting the entire Wadjet catalog. Anyways that was a good game. I'm sure the dev was doing it to promote the next Blackwell game coming soon.

NAIVE developers- or that was the plan

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah. And we all are naive in some field. Usually many.

But to mistake good will for naivety is truly cynical and base.

That's like you getting in a car with me, and me driving so hard that I make you vomit (which I most certainly could for most in short order) or become afraid, and then calling you naive for getting into the car with me in the first place.

Just because I can abuse someone else at any opportunity in a car, it doesn't mean that I should.

No, they were indeed very naive to think it wouldn't get abused. How is that cynical? It was proven to be true. Naivety and good will are not mutually exclusive.

Well blaming the victim is never really my policy, but as we've proven in this thread, most folks are just basic animals.

And no, naivety and good will are not mutually exclusive. But neither are opportunity and abuse.

The developer did it in a BAD way. Look at the new Humble Bundle way to redeem Steam codes, thats the way to stop LAME and GREEDY people. And sadly, that is a shit to the ones who just want to share the games that they dont want/need in some bundles, but hey, say a big THANK YOU to the ones "sharing" The blackwell deception, Civilization V, Mafia II, etc.

There is nothing wrong with doing Deception giveaways whatsoever, even if you "exploited" ( no info or rules on giveaway, as far as I'm concerned I should be able to take 1000 keys if I so choose)

You guys have some sort of jealously issues, because you somehow think people have something to gain with these extra giveaways.

Deception provides NO cv, since it was a bundled game in the past. everyone needs to get their panties out a a bunch

Comment has been collapsed.

And anyone entering a Deception giveaway doesn't know it is being offered for free. Otherwise they would never entered the giveaway in the first place.

So having giveaways actually HELPS everyone by getting the word out to people who would have otherwise NEVER have known they can receive a game for free.

So its a good thing

"the update limits giveaways that might have originated from a bundle to 20% of your total value"

The developer stopped giving away Steam keys thanks to those "wonderful" people who abused the freaking system redeeming more than one key, so a lot of people couldn't get their key because some other douche redeemed 5 of them.
