The first parts of discussion and original title(about the slaguthering grounds)are now old. Read down for NEW info.
When i commented on this giveaway as bad game and proof to Jim Sterling's video,i got banned(blacklisted)by the dev itself. Also,this isn't the first time when the dev banned players for nothing or ciritsm(like i said). Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6s0Wpn1zmU
The giveaway itself: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/UuiHb/the-slaughtering-grounds If you aren't commented yet,you see my post here. For me,its rather you were blacklisted.
Another link: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Oshpo/the-slaughtering-grounds
If you read others players reviews on Steam page of this game,and Jim's as well,you see how players was also banned for NOTHING. Just for commenting on forums,reviewing it e.t.c. The dev even tried to remove em with copyright strikes. I still don't know what happend to users that just said thanks on giveaway itself. If they got banned,well,this massively proofs my point. Check Steam forums of this game as well: you see alot players was banned for worst reasons.
(already answered)In addition,i fear that if the dev continiues giveaway his game,he will get alot of CV levels just for producing more and more copies.
I didn't meant that the giveaway is bad: i meant that the dev itself shouldn't giveaway the game that is basically hell in a game and using it to promote even more bad games. Im fine if a user giveaways a bad game,but when a dev giveaways a game just to make fun of others(i.e censorning overwhelming critism,banning for nothing/worst reasons and scam games),this becomes serious.
Oh,if you are new developer yourself, check Jim's guides of this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tygMqQNNWUo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acgxPlB7Jrc
If winners ever get the game,i belive they will go upset as me after playing it. But not everyone is going to share/say how its bad...
PS,the Zombie Troll Steam trading card( http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/329950-Zombie%20Troll ) resembles pose of Jim's avatar on youtube and steam. Why devs making refrences to these...
Part 2: The Temper Trantum AND Deadly Profits.
First,the review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5svAoQ7D38k
So,both those games was developed by homicide again. Check this review: http://steamcommunity.com/id/imelman/recommended/373110/
Edit: I taken my review down(on Deadly Profits),as it has less proof than first one. Still,theres alot of negative reviews that say that this game is buggy,unfinished and such. Well,somewhat mine got very bad recivied... I think thats a bad move,as this game got already enough of them,but...
Well,ethier way,ill will keep an eye out for more suprises. Sorry for confusion i could possibly give,but thats because i overreact at some things.

Should the developer be ashamed?

Yes
No

This should be in off-topic please. And yes, the dev should be ashamed.
Off-topic because I feel the need to post off-topic gifs and being in General makes me feel dirty doing so.

edit* Also, thank God for Jim Sterling. :D

Because the game itself,developer,and reviews all about it. This game is not even candidates for game, its rather copyright breaking(read Jim's review)game. You see how the game after his review refrences him as much.
To add,i even commented on FaeVerse Alchemy developer giveaway(http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/4dfXK/faeverse-alchemy) with kind critism(the game price ofc),and he responded kindly as well. This is how devs should be:handle critism nicely,instead of being angry after,then start a discussion with that user why you think about it and other things the devs should do.

Yes, it looks like it is a massive pile of shit but that's not the point. I don't think it's appropriate to comment on a giveaway that you think the game being given away is bad

Are you part of the Heretical Giveaway Group? Yes, yes you are. This is what we do. Although, we do it ourselves and not just post other shit from other members. So I can see half of your point.

OK, I reformulate : it's not appropriate except on a shitty giveaway from this retarded group

Okay, that is better now. It makes me feel good and warm. Maybe the Dev should join the group and giveaway game like that. Since it is total shit game anyways. That would make sense. And would receive more thanks for giving it away like that.

I didn't realize either. I didn't say he cannot do it, but that it is not appropriate. There are tons of places that are meant for you to express your opinion about a game, but saying on a giveaway that the game given away is shit is lacking respect to the creator of the giveaway. If you think it's shit, you should just ignore the giveaway.

it's not like someone bought that game to give away. it's a developer giveaway. i don't see what's the biggy for commenting something negative about the game/devs on that giveaway. and yeah, i don't have any respect to those assholes.

There should be nothing big about commenting a personal opinion, although there should be nothing taken when Blacklisted over that personal opinion. As others take it as a personal attack. The games Dev is okay in my book, I don't care what they do. I can choose how to spend my money how I wish, I can comment how I wish, and they can Blacklist how they wish. We are all beautiful opinions, showcased as an original snowflake, encapsulated in an ugly human body as we had wished to be.

I know, but the main reason developers give away their game in limited number (~50) is to promote it (or the next game).

Oh, they blacklisted me for writing in the giveaway comments something along the lines of: thanks but no thanks i don't want to support a dev that removes comments and youtube videos.

I don't even mind, i'm kinda proud for it, come at me dev!

In addition,i fear that if the dev continiues giveaway his game,he will get alot of CV levels just for producing more and more copies.

They won't get a lot. Since the CV you get from a game start decreasing after the 5th copie give away, it's virtually worth nothing after a while.

From the Real CV calculator : The Slaughtering Grounds (20 Copies) (4.9320802465677E-12$ Total) (Group giveaway)

Guys,i got important news about those devs. Check title again.
And yet,when the devs written a comment that my review will be taken down soon,i responded by politely saying why people like myself started being angry. Of course,unlike other devs that kindly aknowledge those reviews by those users to find problems,these devs instead trying to remove all kinds of bad mark on their trap games. They need to learn,that looking for quick buck over people's pleasure is never a good thing: Its rather backlashing,as people WILL start offering refunds against your games,and report them to be taken down. But no,these devs want to continue their traps,and well,people already hate them. Even for free those games are nothing but cards to benefit the dev.
