Devotee is linking to the comment above that one. All 17 giveaways recently made are from one person.

steveywonder75 already explained what I was trying to say in my comment.

When all giveaways are made by the same person it usually means there's not a public giveaway with many copies. The description of those giveaways also show that person is making the giveaways to promote his work.

I'm not sure where he's getting so many copies from but it's not from a site doing giveaways. I also don't see active (or cheap) bundles with the games given away. I guess grey market sites are an option but it would mean he's spending around 30 euros in promotion, when it would be better (cost-effective) to buy games from active bundles (Fanatical for example). With 30 euros you can buy 60 games on Fanatical (Build Your Own Very Positive Bundle).

Since he is a game developer working in an indie publisher (by the way, Papetura looks really nice -he also made many GAs for this game from his publisher-) he could be sourcing the games from other developers or publishers.

Sorry for the long comment, just some thoughts I gad when I saw these giveaways made by Vilehead.

1 mentioned its a bundle extra in description... the other person(with 2 GAs) didn't say anything but looking at other GAs its likely same story(game was bundled a bunch of times in the past)

many sources, from their twitch stream, steel series(ended), and the places other are mentioning.
game will be free on release, so its just alpha access(so bugs/more performance issues/etc...) will be expected.

Indeed it came from FOUR(!) sources:

  • Steelseries
  • MBomb (Ended)
  • AWA (Vault)
  • Twitch (Gleam)

Suddenly there's a couple giveaways, even for several copies.

I know it was in a bundle back in June ( Future Games Show Discovery )
And off steam on Prime for GOG , but other than that I can't say exactly from where( Its relatively cheapish on the grey market though)
Sorry if this doesn't actually answer your question :D

2 giveaways, 4 copies, same person. Steam keys start at $3-4 in the grey market, so I'd rather assume it's still leftovers from that bundle. Or maybe they thought (wrongfully) getting full CV for $3-4 was a good deal.

You did send me to a small rabbit hole with this one though, because that game is currently still full CV and upon checking I found out, that that whole bundle has basically been missed and another error. Had to file a couple of tickets. ^^

Comment has been collapsed.

the bundle wasn't missed for CV changing... it didn't breach the discount threshold.
tier 1 was around a 91% discount
tier 2 was really close to 90% as well

Comment has been collapsed.

Hm, I always thought the threshold was 90% for bundled and ~95% for unbundled games.

Oh well, at least The Entropy Center is gonna have to be moved back by one day.

92-94% bundled (unsure, depending on the abuse/exploit amount)
95% bundled (sure)
99-100% free (sure)

And region prices will be taken into consideration too if "too much" try to exploit/abuse them to get the maximum from the cv system (which than mostly happen in the turkiye and south american regions).

Comment has been collapsed.

i still think 90-94% is zero cv depending on the abuse and the price in argentina-turkey, 95% onward is for sure zero cv.

o_O

Öhm, nope.
My list is based on the mods rules and decissions and not "negotiable" :-D

The regional stores abuse, as you say correctly mostly in turkiye and argentina, kick in whenever the abuse is very visible and someone take the time to dig so deep and to report it. As far as i seen, it doesn't happen from the mods alone.
And it is hard, i would say impossible, to bring the regional store prices into a finished list (as the one above). So it is "more or less" gambling when people give away something that is on higher discount as 90% and expect full cv.

Both of those regions got nuked by Valve last year, their replacements are nowhere near as cheap.

It's only 11 GAs total so my guess is that all of them come from this month's Alienware Arena's Vault, it's only gonna be there for a few more hours tho.
