Well, the games are free so I think they're doing us a favor at any price.

You are getting paid to visit their site every day, and using that pay to buy games.
Just because you are paying with something other than money does not mean they are free.

Exactly! People think only "real" money has value. But it's not true. Time and clicks has value as well.

It is a reward for checking their site, not a salary. There is a difference between being given an occasional freebie as a means of promoting a business and providing payment for a service.
Comment has been collapsed.
I disagree, it is not a freebie, you are being paid, or "rewarded" if you prefer, for visiting their site often, this payment is in the form of a currency that can only be used to buy things from them.
It reminds me of the old "company store" where employees were payed with "scrip" instead of money.
Company scrip
Of course that was the employees entire salary and was much more nefarious. Although I suppose if they start charging more exorbitant prices for the games, it may become more similar :)
As the old "Sixteen Tons" song goes... "I sold my soul to the company store..."

That is called store credit, not currency. Currency is meant to be easily exchanged among multiple parties for goods and services, were credit only has value among two. You are being given credit for visiting a site, not payment for fulfilling a service provided to Chrono. You do not work for Chrono, nor are you an employee of theirs in any way. They are merely rewarding potential customers for taking a minute a day to visit their site. That is all.
If you truly feel that Chrono coins is a form of currency and that you are getting paid by them, then don't forget to add it to your income tax return this year.

If a store gave me $20,000 in store credit as a prize or for doing something for them, you better believe that the IRS would expect their share.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a reward, sure. But it's also an incentive. You're deluding yourself a bit here if you think that they're not giving payment. Payment doesn't mean money. Payment means an item of value and currency is just a representation of credit to get those goods. This just takes out the middleman, which is the actual universal currency and it replaces it with its own that you can only use on their site. You go there, which completes the task and you're entitled to be get some of that currency and they even incentivise frequent visits by giving you extra rewards for visiting them a lot (chests).
Through our visits, they have the chance to organically show you what they have in stock, to entice you into a purchase. Same goes for their PR. People feel gratitude towards whoever gives them free things, which is why making gestures of giving things a total powermove. For example, buying lunch for someone you're meeting for business.
Chrono.gg is creating a relationship where they're in control. People will visit because they want free games. In that process, they'll show you their wares, telling you "Come on, look at this deal. Just this one game... Limited time only" to get you to buy something. While doing this, they also increase prices, which just increases the amount that you need to buy games from their Coin Shop. You're already stuck on their teet and it's likely you'll stay on it.
If they screw up, they'll even have a loyal army of people coming to their defense to say "Well, they're giving a bunch of games away for free" or "What they did is awful, but they also have done a lot of good: Like giving us free games all the time".
Look, I'm using their Coin Shop and I'll keep doing it. I doubt a lot of people will fall for the advertising part. But they don't need a lot. If even 5% of people buy the game, the advertising is already working better than necessary. Not to mention that under the surface, they're making a classic advertising and business powermoves, which most people won't realize because this is all just subconscious.
I'm happy with this deal still and I don't really care for the prices going up. But a transaction's a transaction. Doesn't mean that you didn't pay with your actual money.

They're not free. That's why when given away here, the games are not reduced to 0 CV.

No, that is because of the extremely limited number of the games.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, this is because they are not free. You have to earn e-currency by taking Your time and clicking on the site. This is like any other job, just a bit lighter and less time consuming. But the salary is pretty small too. So it's not like You get super duper so many money for nothing. You got nothing for nothing. That. It's better to buy the games by real money than coins, cause it's better deal. In every possible way.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, they are not. You pay for coins, that You earn about ~25 a day. I earn more real money daily. So that's not true at all.
Free it would be, if I didn't do nothing, didn't earn any currency. But I have to to buy them. Prefer to spend real money than coins, cause it's CHEAPER.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you put some imaginary value on couple mouse clicks, how much is using the Internet and playing games costing you every day? Writing that message required dozens of times more clicks on keyboard than it takes to click once for the coins so must have cost you a lot. The games are totally free except in silly theoretical scenario where you assign imaginary monetary value to everything you spend time to do like eating or brushing your teeth.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, this is not imaginary. This is normal job, just You don't do what are in usual jobs. You get payment and coins are normal currency - Your salary. It has value as it take Your time (small but still), also take the time to collect specific ammount and You earn currency, digital or not, it's still a money.
Sometimes real life job takes less than playing a Super Mario Bros. for NES. So Your argument about "what it takes" is invalid.
And no, they are not free. They are bought by currency, You earn by doing simple job. Simple, yes, but it's like a job. Some people earn 20k dollars doing nothing. So You mean, the 20k is worth nothing, cause they earn it by no efforts? No, it's not. Regardless of simplicity, You earn e-money and buy things from it.
Free games are when Humble Bundle or other site give You game for clicking "claim it", You don't exchange any currency for it.
Partially free are task-related games, when You are obliged to do something.
I know what is similar to it. Earning money through filling the polls. You take the time, You actually don't do anything hard and You earn money for it. It's not like they are giving You money for free, cause it's just a job. Simple, cause simple, but a job. So chrono.gg is the same. Just it's even lighter. But You earn currency.
Lootboxes are gambling even though You pay for them by in-game currencies, cause even if it's not "real" money, Yous till have to earn it. Deal with it.
Also there is no such thing as "real" money or "unreal" money. Just official currency of a physical world and unofficial currency of digital world. They are very alike. The same laws apply for them. Inflation, demand, supply. So it's exactly as the "real" money.
Comment has been collapsed.
Even Humble Bundle requires you to click several times to get the "free" games so by your definition they can't be free. Nothing in life can be free since getting it requires doing something. So even if someone gives you $20k, you say it's not free to get it since you need time and effort to put your hand out and grab the money.
Yeah I'm sure you would have a grand time in court arguing that you need compensation for lost points on SG for example. Or any other imaginary currency that doesn't have some monetary value attached to it by being allowed to purchase it with real money. If you spend $100 to buy diamonds that you can buy in-game lootboxes with, the $100 is the actual value of you purchase. If you spend 100 points to try to win games and can't buy those points with money, they are only worth the imaginary value you assign them, nothing more.
You're just arguing theoretical philosophy, not anything that would stand in a court of law.

Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe it's their job to scout the web for free games they can get profitz from, who knows. But at least they are entitled to get AAA games for free because it requires couple clicks, nobody can afford to click that much for a mere bundled game!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, not many things are truly free, that is true. Most everything requires effort, no matter how small.
If someone could otherwise be working and normally makes $60 per hour, but instead of working, spends 1 minute clicking on buttons to get a "free" game, does that still mean the game was free?
Not really, because he could have been working and making $1 instead. Of course this does not take in to consideration those that would do this while still on the clock (shame on you :-).
So that "free" game cost him $1.
Now, we can say that the person "enjoyed" clicking on all those buttons, and would have otherwise spent that 1 minute watching TV or doing some other activity that he enjoyed, in which case you could say that the game wasn't only free, but you also got to spend 1 minute doing things that you really enjoyed. But I doubt that most people would say they enjoy doing tedious tasks.
Why do some people look at the tasks required to get a "free" game (in some cases 20-30 tasks that will take several minutes to complete) and say, "no, it's not worth it"? It's a free game! Why would you not want it? Well, because time is money. If you are a poor college student with nothing better to do, your time may be worth very little, so you do it, but if you have a job or would rather be doing other things, then that "free" game costs too much.
It's all relative, and I can understand if a person has the opinion that if it only takes a few minutes to get a "free" game, then they consider it truly "free".
But you have to remember, as I've said above, "time is money", and how much your time is worth directly relates to how much that "free" game really costs. I suspect that the people who think these things are really "free" are younger people who have all the time in the world. When you get older, you may see that time really is the most valuable thing you have, and getting a crappy game is not worth wasting your most valuable resource.

In other words, you could literally say anything is "work" or a "job", which simply isn't true.
By the way, you're talking about what is commonly referred to as "opportunity cost", not "gain"
opportunity cost: the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's all just semantics. We are talking about what "free" is. This is a very misused word. Like "buy one, get one free".
If you have to buy something, it's not free. In this case, you are getting the item for half price (if they didn't inflate the price before the offer) and you are required to buy 2. You can look at it as getting something free, I suppose, but you really aren't.
Comment has been collapsed.
What else would you have been doing with your time if you weren't clicking on that little gold coin on their site?
That's opportunity cost.
Nothing at all is "free." I thought that was common knowledge. However, if you weren't doing anything else but typing out replies on an internet forum about some "virtual currency" and the cost of the games you can purchase with them, then they're as close to "free" as it gets.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, claiming free game isn't a job. Paying REAL currency for getting it is job-like activity.
And yes, chrono coins are real. They are here, You earn them, You use them to pay. So they are real. Unreal is something that doesn't exist, and as it exist, it's real. Deal with it.

Why is it you always insist anyone who disagrees with you is angry at you? Is this your "golden ticket" in any disagreement? I'm not even remotely emotional about this issue at all. As far as I'm concerned, we're all stating opinions here - mine just happens to differ from yours, and apparently you cannot handle that.
And I bet You already blacklisted me over this quarell
No, I blacklisted you on December 26th, for being a complete douche-nozzle to someone on the forums, if you must know. I never blacklist someone for things they've said to me or about me. This is just another one of your cop-outs to avoid the real issue -- your inability to cope with simple disagreement.

I was pretty right. You proved Your ignorance and arrogance. You are labeling me right now, what IS an insult actually. And no, calling someone ignorant isn't. This is stating what trait someone has. If I say, someone eat too much, do You say I insulted him? If I said he is a pig that is ugly fat, I did. But not as stating the trait of personality or behavior.

That's just how trolls like that work which is why the right emotional response is amusement.

Also You don't see (pretty clear, visible) difference between currency-related thing, when You get money for the effort and pay for that and when You directly get something after the effort.
I would know You would compare clicking "get free game" to clicking daily on Chrono.gg. Cause You completely have NO IDEA what You are talking about.

I didn't miss anything, I just disagree with the point. So where exactly is the denialism? Denying you your illusions with harsh reality?
You will learn some day how actual money works and what's the difference between that and Monopoly money. In that game you need to spend time and effort to earn the imaginary currency as well, so it must be worth a lot according to your silly theories.
Yeah right, obviously since I don't see a difference between clicking to get a free game and clicking to get a free game I'm the one who has no idea...

You're the one crying how couple clicks are a job and how you are entitled to get AAA games with those couple clicks since they cost you so much. I'm the one laughing at how silly that is.

I guess there price inflation because it is easier to earn coins now. You don't need to visit every day to maintain your "streak". And with fewer games in the shop people will be focused on buying the few scraps that remain.

lets also consider chrono has gone from "is this site legit?" to "hey did you see xxxxxxx game is on the chrono coin store - only xxxx coins!"
with a move from a small niche, ive no doubt theyve had to increase the price - especially as they have some large publishers on board now.

I dont' get why someone wouldn't go to chrono.gg every day. It's just ONE CLICK a day. Not that You have to do something more. Especially that people spend thousand of hours daily on SteamGifts and it doesn't seem to be a problem, right?
I rather buy nothing than buy bad game or expensive one. That's why I got 33k coins even though I spent money so desperately because I wanted to make some use of the coins... If the games were better and/or prices lower, I would probably had like 1-2k now. But I don't have the opportunity. Cause it's not worth buying anything from chrono coin shop. I would have even 100k if I wasn't so desperate to buy something.

Weird. I never missed a single day. You can always make an alarm in the phone or something. But still, I get the same amount of ponits then and now.

So I rather would prefer it to be lost when You forgot but the games are better and cost less than as it is now. Cause now it is in very bad shape.

I can't really say it's disappointing because I'm so bummed I spent all my cash on Forced and can't get Hover now. So two games off my wishlist in a week, that's pretty cool. Sure they've been bundled before but I'm not going to get a bundle for one game and it's free so...

I have 33k coins and If I weren't buying with desperation, I would have maybe 50-60k, if not more. But I really wanted to use those coins. Chrono.gg just doesn't give me any opportunity to spent those coins, as the games are either bad, not my kind or just plainly too expensive, so I prefer to buy them for a dollar, two or just get some bundle, that would make a better deal than the chrono coins, cause I will get a bundle anyway, never buy for one game, so bundle + chrono means I spent chrono coins and got additional key, that I give away for free. Just a bundle means I spent the same money, cause I would buy some theoretical bundle anyway, and I won't spend chrono coins unnecessarily.

But Kathy Rain worth in real money is pretty low, as everyone could have get it already in thousands of bundles.
And 7,5k You can get after months. So it's pretty high price for such a game. Good or bad, nevermind. If I was able to buy game for 1$ or 7,5k coins, I would chose dollars. Cause I earn them quicker than coins. No matter if they are "real" money or not. They are worth more as they are rarer.

Right... because it's just a highly rated and critically acclaimed pixel art P&C adventure. If it was an achievement clicker people would be all over that shit :D
Also given the fact that NOBODY has bought something from Chrono.gg EVER and people are running bot farms with hundreds and thousands of accounts to grab their free games from the Coin shop I'm suprised they were able to support their "Free cookie jar" approach for so long.
Expect prices to rise further or game quality to decrease because those botters won't stop unless Chrono.gg puts some basic security measures like IP checks in place and even then they will find a way around it.

I suspect people do occasionally buy from Chrono. I almost bought Hellblade because it looked like a good deal... until I realized the exchange rate made it not quite as good (though still not bad). But you do have a good point, a lot of their deals were in bundles, so few will be buying. It's amazing they've managed to survive. They really should put in anti-bot measures, for their own sake if not for ours.

You're right of course, I was just using exaggeration as a rhetorical device ;) Although I can't really see why because their prices are usually not very competetive. Anybody who is familiar with the Bundle scene can normally get those games cheaper if they want.

The last cheap coin games were sold out in a couple of hours, so they apparently raised the prices as a basic protection scheme against key farmers.

I'm aware that you are genuinely more picky with games than me. If chrono offers a good game that I might enjoy, I'm gonna grab it with my coins regardless if it was bundled before.
It's not like I'm buying things with real money, it always remains a free promo for me. Sure I have to invest some time in getting the coins, but I don't value coins like real money.
You really cannot expect them to offer games like "Dead Cells" on a regular basis.
Sadly all sites who offer good deals or freebies will eventually drop in quality, partly because of a bigger exposure and therefore a larger userbase and certainly thanks to all those damn abusers and key farmers.
Chrono is still a good enough source for free and decent Indie-Games, you only have to choose more wisely where you spend your coins. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have 1,7k games on Steam. At least half of them has value over 9000 times higher than what Chrono offer. I also get better games from bundles, even paying 3$ or sth. I get better games from Monthlies. I buy better games for low prices myself.
I'm not picky, but I require quality if cost of something is very high.
Also I think I said it before. I just said the prices are too high for games of such value. Never said anything about giving AAA games or top indies. But games that would cost 3k, are given for 8k or more, and this is so often. Game value is not only how good or bad it is, but the price You can buy that game for. And for Kathy Rain, You could have get this game in plenty of bundles for low price. Also it costed sth around 2-3 euros. So paying 7,5k coins, which are earned after months is relatably high price for such game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I get your point and even agree with you concerning Kathy Rain. There also was a giveaway for this game shortly prior to the Chrono offer. Though it's a very good game in its genre, and users who missed the bundles and giveaways can grab it now at Chrono.
I fear that's the way it goes, first they make really good deals and later on it will decline after they gathered a strong userbase. You really can't help it.

It's better to wait for another bundle or deal, instead of buying it now on Chrono. And I doubt people are in must to play the game now. So they can wait.

Well of course it would be quicker to work to buy a game with real money than with a freebie coins, that is the whole point. The whole purpose of this reward system is to encourage potential customers to visit their site, not to farm them for freebies.
Honestly, this is why you should never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Who gives what for free? Cause Chrono.gg never gave me anything for free. Like ever.
And there is no such thing in the world as freebie coin. Unless You are given coins for doing nothing. But chrono coins are normal currency, just You don't have physical variation of it. The same as e.g. bitcoin. They are real. They are earnable. You buy things using them. They are no freebie in any way. Cause You don't get them for nothing.
Also I'm telling it again. I didn't get any gift from Chrono. Neither I did from SteamGifts. Cause I paid chrono coins to get the game or paid points to get a chance of being gifted.

Some (many) people have stocked "big" amounts of coins (well Chrono owners may considered in that way) so they rise the prices, last game i pick was Hammerwatch Heroes (cant remember how many coins cost me), im still have more than 40k of coins, i never forget to make my click. I guess there're people with even more coins, and Chrone probably is trying to made us spent those coins. I remember when they put some (very few) keys for Dead Cells for 40k (if im not wrong) of coins..
The site is cool, made the click is part of my rutine when i turn on my pc every day.

But this won't work. I prefer not to buy, than overpay for something I could get for low price somewhere else. Someday every game will cost 40k if that politicy remains.

If you buy the daily deal, it gives you bonus coins, I don't know how much ( probably depends on price) but I remember there was a promo with 7.5k coins for the daily deal. So since you earn more real life money than Chrono coins and want more, that's an option for you. True it's not quite free but given how fast games still get sold out, it's not surprising they have been going towards quantity over quality. And Kathy Rain is a good game, if it's been in so many bundles, you should have just bought the bundles with real money?
More people will complain that they can't get a "free" game if it's out of stock than the price of it.

I already have Kathy Rain, so I don't understand You. Do You think I am mad cause I can't afford to buy a game from so puny coin shop? I have TOO MANY of coins, I have TOO MANY of games and the deals Chrono makes are laughtable cause theya re no deals at all.
Also I can buy AAA games for few bucks that are better than anything (or almost anything) Chrono ever offered. I meant, I bought such games many times. That's why I feel like the quality of the site is dropping drastically.

I never said that, and I never said Chrono's deals are good deals, in fact I don't think they give good daily deals at all (Fanatical has better star deals). I simply said there's an option to get more coins and why I think they choose more quantity over quality. Although I do not believe you should put such a heavy bias on the quality of the site based on what games they give out to promote their site.

It's not a bias. I just asked a simple question. But mad people over here was so angry I dared to do so. It was a simple question. Really.

Oh you're right, I was reading comments and even I forgot about the title question. They probably keep check of how many coins the average user has to balance the amount of games they need to stock for the coin shop.

You may be too polite to say it but as we all very well know he has never and will never buy a game from Chrono.gg (which on it's own is understandable given their prices are not very competetive) so the free games they offer is the only criteria that's relevant.

It wasn't even ment as a burn :D I was just stating facts the way I see them. They may be unflattering facts but it wasn't really ment as criticism.
I haven't bought something from Chrono.gg neither and given their prices for the daily Deals I wouldn't be surprised if I never will.
I jumped on the Chrono train pretty late. Got one free game from them so far (Heroes of Hammerwatch) and am back up at 8.5k now.
It's just when I look at their older games I see several stinkers like There's Poop in my Soup or games that have been given away for free or are Free2Play altogether (Minion Masters) so I just don't really see a noticable decline in quality.

Seems more like sunk cost fallacy, some people have clicked daily for ages and hoarded huge piles of coins imagining that one day they will buy some great game with them. When it becomes more and more clear that they have just been wasting their time they still cling to clicking daily instead of just giving up or just buying a decent game now and then.

Maybe. It just seems pretty obvious to me we won't be getting a game of the calibre of Dead Cells every 2 weeks. In general I find the game selection on the Coin shop pretty decent although they occasionally have genres I personally don't care for like Bullet Hell or HOGs.

I could have used more coins than I've had, so no complaints from me either. But since it's free, I'm happy to get just some games even if not all. If someone has huge surplus of coins and no games they want, they could check what site they are on now talking about it and just give some away.

Tremor Games should retur. It puts all of those scam sites to shame.

Then: Games for 3k points or 5k points were normal.
Now: Games for even 8k points and they are so random.
Also Kathy Rain for that price? This game was in thousands of bundles. I'm pretty disappointed by the price over quality in those games recently. And no, I don't want AAA games. I just want regular price for non-random, good game. But the price is higher and higher and the games are more random. They maybe aren't necessarily bad, but they are not best they could give for such amount of points. 8k is something You get after a months of collecting coins. And they give You such things for them.
