Why is there no Frozen Synapse on the Create Giveaway list?

Closed

I'm trying to giveaway some spare copies of the game, but it doesn't appear in the list...

How come?

Probably because Frozen Synapse is pay-what-you-want from the Hunble Frozen Synapse Bundle. I'm guessing they'll allow it a short period after the Humble Bundle ends.

Here's the announcement in regards to disabling Frozen Synapse and the Frozenbyte Collection and Bundle.

We do not want the site to be flooded with 100s of giveaways with x3 Humbles each and we cannot condone members buying up many different Humble keys for cheap just to get their ratio up. This is only temporary.

Isn't it still pointless though? I mean if we let Frozen Synapse back, people will just put them up anyways? And we have no way of knowing if they paid a cent or a dollar for them.

Perhaps I'm just mean, but I wouldn't let Humble Bundles or Frozen Synapse back on Steamgifts.

Actually I think one of the main reasons is to support the bundle, but that is just my personal speculation on the situation. The temp removal, does discourage them being flooded for a time, but it also promotes people to actually buy the bundle as well, while it is still up.

And if we bring it back, we'll just be flooded with it anyways. People are probably just putting in 1-10 cent offers and we're allowing people to profit off of charity. It's ridiculous.

There actually is a way. After redemption, if it includes the Frozenbyte bundle, the person paid above the average price. If there's no Frozenbyte bundle then someones too cheap to support HiB and children.

But will this work for all HiB? Truly we'll have to wait until Frozenbyte is allowed back on Steamgifts. Which I am sure will be flooded, and if I was a betting man though, I'd bet that most of them would be minimum payment.

You realize that it costs them like 50ct in fees every time you do that through Paypal? Plus you're using bandwidth etc. Don't be pathetic and pay a reasonable amount of money for it.

Who the hell told you that? That's not how it works, the fee can not be more than the payment itself. Else i can just spam your paypal with 1 penny payments to spend all your cash.
