Hey,
you deleted your comment in the community train, before i were finished with writing my answer.
I posted it and seen then "deleted message" and of course deleted my answer than too because people would look strange at me with a answer out of context :-D
But i still wanted that you see the answer:
The Postal one isn't 2x 50p as the 2 Hogwarts GAs from Lontaz, and not cart 2, where people are more "talkative" as later in the train so i understand it partly.
I am not sure where you posted the Postal GA -i assume the community train but don't know the cart number-.
I, as example, go through the train before i go sleeping, and are/be behind over 200 carts -_- , so it is more or less a annoying clicking like a idiot, a duty that must be made to see the GAs and maybe enter one or two (clicking through 80 carts till you see a unowned game isn't funny -if or if you not enter the GA-).
The general thoughts behind the community train is great, the result, from my point of view, not fully.
Maybe it is better with scripts that change the train to a list and a other script that mark unowned games and limit that way the GAs that need attention.
I'm sorry for deleting the message. I was hoping you hadn't seen it, and I probably shouldn't have posted it in the first place. I was frustrated and needed to vent to someone, then realized I sounded whiny, and I didn't like that, so I deleted the comment.
It was cart 9, so very early on in the community train. Shortly after my comment to you, I deleted the giveaway and replaced it with Morbid: The Seven Acolytes.
I don't give games to get love or thanks from people, but when I saw all the other big giveaways getting multiple comments saying thank you, when I had none, it made me feel very bad. I got angry. I'm still angry TBH.
2 of my other 4 carts were unbundled games too (Dishonored 2, and The Companion. I replaced those also), and I got no comments there either. 3 unbundled games in a row, one of them a new game and rare giveaway, and absolutely no one out of hundreds of people cared enough to type a few words. I came to a realization that if no one else cares, why should I?
Anyways, I appreciate your words and time. Have a good one. 😎
I say it very blunt.
People kiss the ass of users that do 50p (or maybe with luck 30p) GAs for AA/AAA games because that are unbundled, fresh released stuff, that is always (over)hyped and "must be perfect" -at least for all the (a)social media mobile phone zombies out there-.
In the end, a lot of the comments mean absolute nothing.
After a bit time on sg you see clearly the difference between real comments and the meaningless phrases.
But to be fair too, it is difficult to say "often" thanks in the comments because of all the thanks spam of the autojoiner users that are so stupid to activate the thanks script on top. Only a small amount use the thanks script on top of the autojoiner but one of my member and i still reported 240+ of them.
Oh and the community train time is always difficult because each multiaccounter and autojoiner activate all his accounts and activate all scripts that let them rush through the train without or with limited human interaction.
It give scripts to change a train to links (i think ESGST has a train extractor too) and other scripts to show which games are owned, to limit the work with entering the GAs. So the human users reduce, often, the invested time too.
I should re-check cart 9. Thanks for the tip :o)
I seen that The Companion were gone but don't known it got replaced and don't know the cart.
I would recommend/advice/suggest not to spend a lot of extra money for sg or only for places like your WL or groups that you like and know the members aren't black sheeps.
I bought in the past complete bundles to give them away on sg and only a ultra tiny amount of people appreciates such things and the most people farm only the cards for a few cents and never touch the game.
I seen people, reviewers as example too, that played 20% of me and i have very low amounts of time for playing games. And a good bunch that play lesser as i and not only small indie games, nope AA and AAA games too.
For me it isn't important that someone play all the win directly, or all his wins, but after 3 years it would be nice if more happened as only farming the cards when the game is good or was pricy.
Of course did i think milder when people are generous by themself as when someone leech since 8 years and on top never touched one of his wins for anything else as card farming.
As you see, i am frustrated too about some stuff on sg and you see that my GAs in the last, around, 2 years dropped with the quality. At least outside my own group, where i can't control that no black sheeps will be the winners.
And maybe you read it between the lines, i don't like the community train.
The meaning behind is great and i appreciate it a lot but the "community" in the train are a few gifters, let's say with much luck 100 (depending on the years, only 20) and thousands of leechers that never give something and only destroy the site sooner or later because when each one only take is it impossible for such a site to exist.
I still hope you can relax, have good weather and have a great weekend :o)
I appreciate all the helpful information and kind words towards me, Masafor. Apologies for not responding earlier. I've had a very busy day and a half.
I definitely hear you concerning the community train. I guess I thought it would be different than the public giveaways. Less autojoiners, and just people being more personable & friendly, but you're absolutely right. In the end it's just another place for the leeches to suck all the blood they can. Gotta get those free games; gotta get those +1's.
You definitely know this place a lot better than me. I think I'm starting to understand it now though. I will do my best to roll with it and relax. Now that I've lowered my expectations a little, I believe I can be more chill with everything.
I hope you have good weather and a good weekend too! 😎
THX a Lot !!!
