Humble Indie Bundle and other bundles on the list are PWYW and are essentially excluded because you can often receive $100 or so worth of games for $1. What's the difference then between these Gala Store bundles and extreme discount games at 80%, 85%, 90% off? Where do you draw the line? Should we then only allow people to give away games if they can prove that they paid full price for the item?

There will always be people who try to beat the system but blatant contributor farming doesn't go unnoticed either. If I were looking for people to join a private giveaway group, I'd look at the quality of their giveaways made, and not necessarily just the dollar amount. And to be honest, there really aren't that many 1k+ contributor giveaways, at least that I see (I have games I own filtered out automatically) It's not that big of a deal.

I bought both Crazy Machines and Shadow Harvest just so that I didn't have to look at them. You're welcome to do the same :p
