Skyrim and other games don't honestly interest me as much as Spore does. Spore, while a bit flawed and unfinished, is still a good game, according to many. Why isn't anyone making a Spore giveaway? The Steam Version of Spore doesn't have the DRM that plagued the DVD versions.

It wasn't honestly a complaint. It was a question about why no one was actually making a giveaway for this game in particular.

You're right, it sounds more like begging than a complaint.

I've been wondering the same thing, I never see Spore on here, used to play it a lot, until EA canned it.

You can still buy it from Steam, but yes I loved it when it first came out. And then they made spin offs of it that were... Less than great.

I've seen the DLC a few times. My guess is that it's not really a great game and it's not on big enough sales which are the two classes of games typically given away

Game quality clearly doesn't matter - look at Crazy Machines.

That why I said there are two classes of games that are typically given away.
1) Good/great games
2) Dirt cheap games

It's $20 http://www.steamgamesales.com/jhnlE/spore, at least according to this. It was 50% off on steam two months ago. You're implying that people actually buy games for giveaways at full retail price as well, I'm not going to comment on that.

  1. It's £30 here in the UK, but I should of checked the regional equivalents - sorry about that.
  2. I didn't know that either. Huh.
  3. I buy games for giveaways at full retail price.

I wanted this game ever since i heard about it... like a decade ago? I heard such bad things about it though... lack of replayability and such and how boring the game became... I would like to try it still but I've never seen it hit a sale I was worth paying for it, or did not have the funds available if it did z...z (the latter far more than former lol z.z kid > games!)

The hype and promises for this game was 100x what it actually was when it came out, people were promised one thing, they got a dumbed down version, they hated bigtime.

A total of 11 has been given out in Steamgifts history. I agree with you though, I've been wondering about it, and it IS a good game for what it is, just not what it was promised or how it was kept up. I still have hopes that they're secretly making a Spore 2, the game Spore was promised to be.

I think the lack of giveaways is reasoned with it rarely having a DECENT discount price on steam. Lowest on steam has been 50% off afaik.

It's a pretty legitimate question isn't it? Why is there only 11 giveaways of that game? I could think of a bunch of reasons, some already listed here in the thread, but yeah, he's not really a frequent user

You want the game so bad? Then go and buy it instead of wondering why people don't cater to your wishes and make a giveaway for a game you really want on a free raffle site.

People are assholes, just ignore it. Bottomline is it won't become a giveaway unless its 75%+ discounted, and even then it's still not a bundle game.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, cause when I do it turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want, you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Nobody will make a giveaway for it because it's an awful game and not worth the money. If you really want it that bad, just pirate it.
You will escape the DRM that way anyways

Lets compare Steam DRM to the DRM EA imposed on Spore back in the days. He has a point, even though it's true that Steam is a DRM as well.
