I guess it's fair, since the most people that have Starvoid, got it from a giveaway, so didn't paid nothing for it.

If bundle games (that people really paid something for it) don't count as full price, why Starvoid that 99% was for free should counts?

Well bundle games don't count because it would encourage people to buy dozens of copies of bundles. You can't do that with Starvoid. But it doesn't matter to me either way, I gave away my starvoid because I wanted to not for value =p

Actually it's like Dota2, everybody who had the game got a free copie.

Its quite different actually. People who have Starvoid got 1 copy. And that is it.

People with Dota got several copies. And a vast amount of people have it(its one of the most played games on steam)

Its a quite different situation really.

Then could I make a giveaway of one game that I got for free? Like Mad Riders, Babel Rising, Blood Bowl: Legendary edition and others.

hm?
It's not allowed to make multiple giveaways for those games as that means you have exploited the coupon by creating multiple fake accounts etc.

But rightfully using the coupon for a single game is allowed

I agree too, Dota 2 is free to play, not starvoid

PS: For those who always say "Dota 2 isn't free to play yet" here the confirmation from their official site http://www.dota2.com/spoilsofwar

There are not that many extra copies, there will be a big rush for a few days and then it will die back out.

Also, people only got 1 copy. It's not like a bundle where someone could get a bunch of games for $1 as many times as they want.

The point is that almost none of these guys that is creating giveaways bought game. Why they should receive the full price?

Exactly. I mean, I have over 1000$ contributor. I think I spent 100$ on all those, maybe less. Not counting that many of those I got as sweets in trades.
Also with all of the awesome deals that popup through the year, like amazon bundles.

But you PAID, you spent money. Your giveaways are legit, but I think that those ppl who didn't paid nothing for Starvoid, don't deserve to receive the full price. Why you had to paid to earn some points and they don't?

So if I trade my TF2 items that I got for free (drops) for a game and give this game away here, it should not count towards my contributor value, because I did not invest money?

btw: 4 games that I gave away here have been acquired by this method ;)

He still didn't pay for them. Just like those who have bought Starvoid got a free copy. They didn't pay for it but it still have value. We still had to buy/win the original game to get the extra copy.

You seems to be under the assumption that everyone that got the game didn't buy it. There have been some giveaways but I'm sure they've sold many copies too.

There was nothing additional on Reddit. The thread there had a link to Fileplay beta keys, which where gone within a single day.

Thats seems a lot less than the 50.000(!) Faerie Solitaire on Reddit and 25.000 here.

There is no way to exploit this game, and people like me only receive one copy, I don't think that this is comparable with Dota 2

Anyway, here is a private giveaway (:

fileplay was only possible for less(!) than a full day, and I highly doubt anybody expected to get an additional free copy months later and made alts only for this..

People will abuse any key that is easily obtainable. It's not unlikely that they could have still had the keys in a spreadsheet.

maybe, but was it anounced that every owner gets another free copy? I'm not aware of that and as such it was hardly abusable

Well, they could, but they would not be able to exploit it because if they activate them now they will not get the extra copy. They would have to have precognition abilities.

They would have to possess some precognition abilities to know that they would receive a extra copy some months later though.

I had thought all BETA keys converted to retail, if not then there is no point to add it to the list.

The concern wasn't that people received extras, it's that the initial key was exploitable and still able to be used.

nope + theres who bought the game you cant just judge everyone that they all got it for free + its not around the site like how that dota2 was... unless you are just getting annoyed from seeing it cuz you didnt get your own or such.. and like someone just said "the darksiders 1 10,000 giveaway" which is more than this starvoid .. even if you had to do it x3 it will still be more and its not exploited -.-

How exactly is it exploited? The devs gave everyone who bought the game one (1) extra copy to share...atleast my copy magically appeared in my inventory yesterday.

Yeah, the game should be added to the bundle list. Most people have got it for free (I got from a website Beta + Full game). If really many people bought it then the game wouldn't be dead. I try to give my extra copy to a friend and when nobody wants it I'll give it away here.

Edit: This is basically like The Ship but with much less copies.

I don't get the fuzz about it - should the people rather let the key rott forever where somebody else might like to play the game? I won this game as well and am in the progress of passing my extra key on - on the other hand I bought a few games before they ended up in a bundle and only got to pass them on after.

There will always be some situations people might see as unfair - do you really want to be anal about those things? If so you would have to proof what you have paid for every single game which is clearly impossible.

It's like The Ship pre-bundle... There is slight issue at one time, but later it probably won't happen in large numbers.

I don't think there's any reason for that. The devs gave these to everyone who already had the game with the express intention of them being given away, and they knew exactly how many they were giving away too.

If the swarm of giveaways bothers you then go here and you'll never have to worry about it again.
