Thanks for the giveaway and your efforts in tidying up the "game shaped objects" :) From 01.08.2022 to 02.08.2022 I counted at least 144 users who fell at least one level down :)

On the 1st of August I have started to count the change of user distribution by levels :) Looking forward to see what numbers we will have by the end of the month :)

I'm not sure how many other people will be thankful

Even that I lost 100+ CV by myself (doesn't sound like a lot but I'm only level 5) - I'm thankful and I'm fully OK with that as it was well deserved loss. In general, what you do, is beneficial to the community, so those who are for its prosperity will be happy in the end) Well, if someone built his entire "SG life" on penny assets flips and shovelware games... I hope they get upset indeed :)

I do the same since Pete started his crusade ^^. Which means i started with the 29th july and do a daily update.

I lost 0.13 from my level 7 but that so many of the add game tickets get solved is worth each bit that i loose because i know (and see) that the exploiters/abusers are getting hit much harder from it. Different ones of my "special friends" have now -$1100 after 4 days :-D

I wanted to create, yesterday, a discussion with different infos but too much, exhausting, reallife stuff.
I am hopeful that i can create it, and fill it with a good bunch of infos, in 2 days.

In our group and discord are a good bunch of the members happy about the changes and look at a bunch of abusers that burn on the stake (their cv melt like butter in the sun^^).

Thanks for the numbers! Now I can see that lvl10 decline is not just -2,48% but -4,21% already :)

Will wait for it. Take your time, since Pete is "barely halfway through" the stats might be more interesting with a time :)

One day I will probably join your group :)

Those people should be happy that they got to enjoy their artificially inflated levels for the time it lasted. Now they have dropped back down to their correct level.

Some people may be a little upset because they are probably paying a small amount of money to get these games and now they are getting 0 CV. I honestly don't care though because it seems like these are fake games and people are just using them to boost their CV, especially the ones giving away many copies of each game. It may have been better to manually set the games to $1 or $2 and then mark them as reduced value. That would be more fair since that is the price a lot of the games originally sold for and people can get their 15 or 30 cents CV, but I'm sure that is a more difficult process for support. I don't think many people will complain anyway.

Thanks for the giveaway :)

I noted a bit over 170, in my daily stats, for this day.
It's interesting and funny how slow it begun and how much the impact, with each day, grow.

I done the thread.

Much later as expected but it was a hard time lately with a lot of important reallife stuff.

Let's see how many Blacklists i will collect with it :-D

Sorry to bother you even if I'm not the first one in this GA, but did you delete 2 your 10lvl SG accounts before?

Hello Pete. As I'm now off the WL, I cant answer your question directly, so I'm doing it here.

Here is link to your original question.
You asked:

Hello RCSWE.
Sorry to be a pain but I just wanted to confirm that you definitely bought this before trying to activate the key?
The new winner is unable to activate the key due to being duplicated and I've had issues myself where Steam tells me I already own a key I try to redeem but it did actually use it and provide me with the game. I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, I just wanted to be 100% certain before we proceed with deleting this giveaway.
It's easy enough to return you as the winner if it was a mistake so don't worry at all if that did happen.
Thank you either way!

And my reply:
Hello Pete.
As far as I can tell, Yes. According Steam Activation page I activated this 9/10, same day as GA ended. GA creator waited 2 days to realease the key, so that would have been 11:th? I can't double check it now as I'm off the WL due this debacle - but perhaps you can see the dates/times?
If you think this looks incorrect and I did in fact receive it, then of course I will accept it as such.
Come to think of it, it is a bit odd that I now can't locate where I got the key from....

Perhaps I did screw up here...
Thinking about it I think it was moppelmurks that waited 2 days to release the key, not achilles - I might have mixed up GA's badly here, tried to redeem same key twice and therefore got the error?

I'll gladly take it back and mark as received - Looks like I did get it after all and messed up afterwards.
Please do explain to achilles. I don't mind being off the WL - its understandeable, but I don't want to leave him with a idea that I tried to scam him.

Thanks Pete, and sorry for the trouble.

Ah, Pete?
One more favour if I may?

Can you tell me who it was that won after the re-rool, the person who got cheated out of the win due my mistake?
I will contact him/her and arrange a key for the game for them.

A blunder like that demands an offering at least. Thanks Pete.
