Welcome back :)

Not much, I guess.

  • Point system is different - max is 400 and point regeneration is fixed rather than indexed to GAs created

  • you can give away free games for no CV

  • you can support the site on patreon

  • when you blacklist someone you are no longer able to enter their GAs

  • other minor things - email notifications and such

You still need to activate your winnings.

  • You now get 6 points every 15 minutes and can store up to 400 (if points are returned for any reason, including removing entries yourself, you can go over 400 with no limit)
  • If a giveaway is deleted, everyone gets their points back (doesn't matter if before or after it ends)
  • When you win a game, all your other entries for the same game are removed and your points are returned
  • Can create giveaways for games that were free and reveive no CV
  • If you blacklist someone, you cannot enter their giveaways
  • Max points to enter a giveaway is limited to 50 (you still get the full CV if the game is valued over $50)
  • Real CV and other stats are shown when you mouse over number in profiles
  • There is an eye icon next to the winner that shows if they have viewed the key
  • Giveaways can not be switched to "not received" after I think a month. Will have to create a support ticket.
  • You can select individual countries in the region restrictions now
  • You can see if a game is currently listed as bundled or free when creating a giveaway by the red marks that show by its name
  • There are crazy new gifting rules on Steam and no storing game in the inventory which makes it very hard to gift directly from Steam
  • Lots of stats with more pages to choose from on the left side
  • You can get an email when you win a giveaway
  • There are donation options now
  • Account sync every 24 hours

There probably more changes, but that is all I can think of. You can check for other changes if you want in the Change Log

Where's that eye you're talking about (winner having seen the key or not)?

Got it, thanks! I expected it to be there even when the key hasn't been seen, so I couldn't find it in my still open GA. Which makes me wonder why the winner is online right now but hasn't seen the key yet. :|

Logged in 24/7, but AFK? Using mobile and doesn't know about the new Steam website for activating keys? The winner has 7 days to activate and mark it as received. Don't feel insecure about it, have patience.

I'm not worried. :) Plus he/she managed to win 400+ games in one year, he/she knows the drill.

that seems like that are just the changes from the last year, because I seem to have lived through all that

I think the quality of forum posts have gone down greatly. When I first joined in 2015, I found myself reloading every 5 mins to see what's new every night, but now I wouldn't bother. Only coming for weird music people listening to, and some puzzles :P

That's just my .02 tho :] Enjoy your time back here!
