Question
referring to me deleting the thread?
I had to, i made the poll as a joke and then realized i couldn't edit it

But its from within SG, since giving away rocket league copies obviously affects the steam greenlight process, couldn't their developer privilege be revoked, this way that site wouldn't be such a great way for the developer to release a game every month

Ah, I see what you mean now. I don't really check their giveaways because I don't want that crap in my library, but yeah.. I think that's kinda in the grey area of this rule
You cannot ask users to perform any special action in order for their entry to be considered valid, such as liking a Facebook page, or following a Twitter account.
I don't think they'll get in trouble though.

Me neither that's why i opened this on off-topic.
yeah...should have pointed out this is happening on their GA´s here on SG, but wanted to avoid creating links
Comment has been collapsed.
Dont lie to us, you wanted that copy of Deadly Profits :P
EDIT: you could click on that small icon next to the GA to hide it, just remember to add their new game every once and awhile

I'm not that happy but... even if their games gets on steam...
who will pay ?
Except a few weirdo like me who hosts giveaways for bad rats & co, I don't think they'll do big moneyz, am I right ?

I'm pretty sure there'll be idiots who get the games for the cards. And I'm assuming that's where the real revenue is in this case.
Comment has been collapsed.
tbh if the cards' value > the game's costs I usually buy it :V
But I still don't think they gain a lot
Comment has been collapsed.
^ he is right you know, as long as it's on steam some idiot will buy it, in this case that idiot is me.
The problem here isn't the money, i just think SG is making things to easy for these fellows.
Going through GL and seeing all this fake comments also bothers hell out of me

Most supportive comment from the greenlight page will be selected when the game is greenlit and that person will receive a copy of Rocket League!
Frankly, I see no harm in this. This doesn't guarantee everyone who voted a free game, it's basically like a raffle of sorts.
Some other Greenlight devs downright say that everyone who votes will get a key, and that's an entirelly different thing...

The difference is that no one will win a shit in that case :V

Hmm, maybe they weren't trying to bribe anyone? Maybe it was meant just for those who voted for the game because they were genuinely interested.
I'm not entirely familiar with this developer's practises, but it might the possibility ;)

Oh, do they have a history of questionable shenanigans? :D

Deleting negative reviews? Check
Faking positive reviews? Check
Banning people on forums for negative comments? Check
Banning people on forums for thanking them for a free copy? Check
Copyright claiming a video review to get it muted? Check
Putting their own audio over that video to make fun of the person who reviewed it? Check
Changing their studio name on each game so only one game shows up when you search? Check
So bad at making games that allshamnowow made a video of not one, but TWO of their games? Check

Oh, if only this was the case.
But even if they were a brand new thing, what they do now, is the typical facebook likehunting shenanigan. It used to not be against any ToS, and it is not against any laws, but it is highly unethical, even for a marketing person.
(Okay, who am I kidding, marketing people don't even know what ethics are, but I think you get what I try to say. ^^)
Comment has been collapsed.
yup, thats why i wanted to know everyone's opinions
For me, this an absolutely horrendous practice, even in this case with small odds, not only are you destroying the idea of greenlight with fake positive comments, their also writing even more just to win the much better game, and the only one they are interested in.
And frankly, making theses guys work a little more on their games before releasing wouldn't be a bad idea either

Digital Homicide is a bunch of cunts.

On a side note, I was the 100th 'no' vote. When it went to the results, I thought it said 100% no. I was disappointed that it wasn't unanimous. Then I was found out who it was, and was disgusted when I found out that people were saying yes to digital homicide.

My policy is pretty simple:
Choose the option that implies the least effort.

Whilst Digital Homicide might be a reet bunch of nob jockeys there have been numerous devs who have given away a variety of other studios games to promote their green light titles. Does t matter how they go about it, the end result is the same and this is no different.
Comment has been collapsed.
Except it is different.
There is a difference between 'hey, have some giveaway of Rocket League. Meanwhile, be so kind to check out our greenlight page and vote yes' and 'whoever writes the nicest comment about our game on GL page, wins a copy of Rocket League'.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now with all seriousness ....
Most ppl see free stuff , and their dick goes , i need that ... its free.
It may be garbage like every game Digital Homicide EVER made , but they still will take it if its free , cus its free .,,, and cus it eventually has trading cards ...
I Got Temper Tantum w/e was it calld trash game for free ... cus ... i think i posted something on the Slaughtering ground forums ... and they gave me a key cus of that ... i litreally got added by some random person , thanked me for the feedback and gave me a key for the Kid running in pampers destroying the house simulator game ....
So yeah Fuck Konami , and Thank god for me ...

your missing the Deadly Premonition song, dont worry though i will whistle
anyway, it was a problem before since unlike most devs here, they are always pushing dirty tactics to get their games through greenlight
but now, alluring people to write comments and vote for the possibility of winning an actual good game, such is the case of rocket league that does not even belong to them. Well...nevermind creating games anymore, with this tactics the game would be greenlit even if it was a still picture
I guess ill just have to prepare myself for a new DH game every week
Comment has been collapsed.
its the same thing with DH, though, ok...they buy like 2 asset packs for each game

Digital Homicide 101:
. if the game is building a bad reputation be sure to take it down and upload it again, as many times as necessary.
So dont worry it will be back
EDIT: Not wanting to called them idiots but, did they really expect good comments for a game called Temper Tantrum 2?

If they do this again, please contact Support.
(I thought I saw the original post, but I can't find it, now. Perhaps someone else already took care of it?)

Are we all ok with Digital homicide giving other developers games in exchange for votes and positive reviews on their new greenlight game?
What? isn't temper tantrum good enough to bribe people anymore :P
EDIT: should have pointed out, because most of us dont check DH GA´s, but their doing this on SG
