I blacklisted some free game gifters in the past, mostly lvl 0 leechers, but there are some level 5+ giving away Yury (free from cubic bundle), and these should know better... what's your take on this?

I'm saying no, even if I consider that kind of behavior really dishonnest. It's not as if actual money was at stake after all.

I don't bother, are people really using their time to actively search for those GAs? And as I don't make lvl0 GAs that just seems like a waste of effort.

I don't search for them per se, but I do enter public GAs, and voilà, there they are.

But you miss most offenders that way when not being online at the time.

I remember watching your profile the day a free gift came out, I just remember those 3 free games giveaway (dota 2, orbital gear and devil's share), it's not easy to find someone who did 3 free game GAs in a row! And not in a positive way.
It's not good memory, I just remember that day I was angry with free-game gifters and when it came your turn I screamed "REALLY?" and instantly blacklisted.

It's not that my memory is good, basically it's just because you're the worst.

That's funny, your comment reminds me of people who say things like: "I abuse of social benefits, and I don't give a damn whether it's immoral or not".

I can't blacklist you AFTER this post.
It seems like I blacklisted you when you just make a freebie GA. XD
BTW, just unblacklisted, I think I look like a leech much more than you XDD

What about "I don't care about free games gifters"?
I personally disapprove of free games gifting, but I won't blacklist for that reason.

That's why I started the thread, I had been blacklisting most of them, but the wave of yury keys being given away made me wonder if it's really worth the effort.

High level free game gifters, for whose CV the 0.3p would be negligible at best, is what I really find hard to understand.

Looks like a HTTP caching issue, I guess they'll fix it soon.

Feel free to BL me for giving it away but I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't even know Yury was given away for free and I have a GA open for it.

Your latest GA is 1 week old, I wouldn't blacklist you for that, obviously. I actually won Deponia minutes after gamesrocket started giving it for free , but from an old GA.

Edit -- I was on board already!

It is pretty difficult to keep up with all the games given away for free. There are some gifters who are not aware of these games being given out for free and who have legitimately bought a game for a GA only to be blacklisted.
I honestly think re-gifting is way more of an issue than someone giving away something and gaining nothing from it.
And awesome, hope you found something you're interested in! :)

isnt there a system in place that removes all CV of games given out massively for free? and so why do people think their opinion matters?

"OMG that SOB is giving away a FREE! game!!!!" omg omg omg omg, the inhumanity, the insanity, i think id better call 911 and call the president, OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

thats ridiculous

Is it? I prefer being selective when it comes to potential winners of my giveaways... I spend real money on gifts, it's not all card revenue, since I'm in South America and don't like to gift region-restricted keys only. I would really rather someone who plays by the rules get them.

because they gave away a game that will add 0 value to their account? i do understand that the majority of them did so in the attempt at gaining CV/etc etc but it is a failed attempt because it will be set to 0 by the site, to worry about such a thing seems like a waste of time, those type of people will never be lvl 2-3 or higher

and to stay away from nubs/leeches just raise the lvl, i wouldnt go under lvl 3, not because im lvl 3, but because 1 and 2 and easily attained

they should make an option to make GAs for games that were given away freely for 0 CV

What Junior said. I mean if you don't get any CV, i don't see any harm giving away a free game, since when is gifting punished?
I have more of an issue with re-gifting for CV gain. Too many tears imo.

They lose their CV and look bad anyway (like leeches), so I don't bother blacklisting them anymore.

In fact I sometimes give them a polite warning if they're new (so they don't start off on the wrong foot).

Hi, i started on SG a few weeks ago an the very first game i set up was a free game. I just copy/pasted the keys wrong my excel file and i didn't knew. Gave some other games away i don't see much on the site, but those were all group/whitelist giveaways.

Wasn't intentional :)
