.heh i think this was my first GA ever :) thanks for choosing this one actually. good times :P

and yeah i agree with most of what you said, but that doesnt mean i agree with people who jumped on his back because i actually feel sorry for the guy. He bought a game for $12, got basically no cv for it, opened a topic and now people are yelling at him. Yeah it doesnt really make much sense imo, and it could be very demotivating too. So im not entirely sure what were their intentions tbh :P

Also, current system makes people avoid bundled games. Even if GA creator doesnt intend to make a giveaway with sole purpose of boosting cv, i cant really expect of him/her that they are going to buy a $5 game on sale, if its on bundled list, and they are much more likely to go for a non bundled game instead.

my problem isnt actually with games getting added to the list, even retroactively. It was more about that person who opened mordor topic or whatever game it was, and people telling him to suck it up and gtfo. And about CV system itself, which is far from perfect and while it worked just fine when there were 800 games on the list, now it turned into a huge list of games that people dont want to create giveaways for :/
