That's right... I already had a copy of it, so I'm giving away the copy I redeemed from there. Humble Store's giveaway is until they run out of keys, so people can use the giveaways of this site to grab their copy if they missed the Humble Store opportunity... Some people here even redeem their copy on the Humble Store, wait a few days until the Humble Store giveaway ends and then post their giveaway here, so people who missed entirely the giveaway on the Humble Store, can enter these giveaways for a chance to win.
I don't understand why one would make a giveaway for a free game, people could just as easily grab the game themselves.
And sure, it's limited in keys, so don't limit it further by grabbing a key when you don't need it!
I don't know if you are aware of it but you don't get any CV from free game giveaways.
To be honest, I didn't make a giveaway before, so I did it this time just to test how it works (it's surprisingly straightforward, huge kudos to the developers of this site)... But I'm not against people grabbing keys for free games and publishing them here if it's done "the right way", for example: publishing the giveaway several days after the Humble Store's giveaway ends, so people who didn't know about the Humble Store giveaway have an opportunity here, maybe people were traveling or maybe people don't (and doesn't want to) have a Humble Store account and they already have an account here, maybe people enjoy the "lottery" feeling of these giveaways, I don't know.
I wish I could create giveaways with my own money, but at least this time in my life that's impossible (living in a country where I can barely afford to eat). Hopefully in a few years I'll be in a much better position to do it.
P.S.: Sorry, I don't know what the "CV" abbreviation stands for, English is not my native language.
P.P.S.: Sorry if this conversation is annoying/boring for you, Is not my intention to "take advantage" of anything, I love this site and its intentions... heck, I'm greatly benefiting from it! Some free games is one of those few "free" things I can enjoy right now.
Giving away games with CV helps you to level up and that way you can enter more giveaways.
Giving back to the community is highly appreciated and won't cost you that much, there are sites where games are really cheap, like DIG and chronodeals.
You can also sell a few cards on the market and use that money for a small giveaway.
Not giving back can result in you getting blacklisted by other members as people often don't like so called "leechers"
I hope your life circumstances will change for the better.
I've already been blacklisted few times here... I didn't really know why, now I understand. I'm sorry for being a "leecher", but I really can't afford to contribute with money. I barely have Internet access these days. Anyway, enough of self pity.
I'm not that new on this site, I've been here since January, I just didn't take much time to comment and give/receive feedback.
Thank you for all the feedback and once again, sorry for not being the most giving member here. Hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to compensate what I've "taken" and give back some.
Like I said: i really hope your life circumstances improve!
Most important: show appreciation when you win something! Always thank the creator of the giveaway when you win something.
If you don't do that, that's a sure way to get blacklisted!
And is free on Humble store
