Cancer ruining SG.

tl;dr he mad.

First of all, use this to filter them out if you don't like it: http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/ba6uc/sg-enhancement-addon

Second, when you activate the ship on your account, it spawns 2 more free copies in your inventory to give away. What else are you supposed to do with them?

Third, every ship giveaway on here seems to have hundreds of entries, so I assume people want them. Not everybody gets a free copy.

Fourth, nobody cares about you being a douche by removing a Skyrim giveaway except maybe the people you screwed by removing it. In my opinion, creating a Skyrim giveaway, letting it run for 2 days and letting hundreds or thousands of people thank you for it and get their hopes up, then removing it at the last minute because other people are giving away a game you don't want is worse than giving away extra gift copies of a game you won for free.

The cancer callers are usually the root of cancer in cases like this.
The entire system is flawed in the sense that such actions are encouraged and nothing can be done about it. I would imagine it could be a little 'better' without contributor stats, but that is impossible now.

Besides, why would you care? Do you desire to feel 'special' so much that you feel threatened by the onslaught of 'cheap' giveaways? Grow up, you're not unique or special, nobody is. Right now you're just being an attention whore.

Your not wrong by any means. I don't need to prove something right when it's not right at all. But the way you worded the entire article just seemed so negative and angry that you're bound to get angry remarks. You need to chill it out and write a more constructive article next time so people don't get this angry tone from your writing.

On the topic of dropping the giveaway, I agree that now isn't the time to be giving away games with this influx of the ship. Let it settle down and let everyone burn the hell outta their points and try again another day. You don't have to if you don't want to it's your game, but this is a community of giving and recieving and people don't want a game from a guy who is going to cuss them out for joining a free giveaway.

You could always suggest to the admins to pool The Ship along with those other pay-what-you-want-bundles games.

That way people can still make giveaways, people still win freebies, and the contributor system won't be so abused.

"If this were a "fair" place, where people would give away games they won"

Lmao what are you going off about..

Is nobody else going to call Mewster out on the fact that he tried to regift Guns of Icarus Online from that massive giveaway a little while ago?

Honestly, all these threads whining about The Ship giveaways are far more annoying than the giveaways themselves. I can hide the giveaways with one click, but these shitty threads keep popping up.

Besides, bundle keys and "abused" keys like The Ship already give greatly reduced rewards, so if you're buttmad about people getting more "credit" for their cheap games than you do for less cheap games (as if it's a contest, which is a lame notion anyway) you can calm down already.

LETS ALL TWEET ABOUT THIS BROTHERS! #StopTheShip2012

How is the game? I entered in many Ship giveaways and won nothing :d

If you want to give it to people that actually contributed, just set the contributor value higher. Those that are giving The Ship will cap at 20$ i think, becouse the ship is considered a Bundle game.

It'll cap at $30. So... make the cap higher than $30.

The world isn't fair. Get over it.

Why is everyone QQ ing about this?Cancer , Really? Spudity at its peak here.

Looks like you just don't have this Skyrim key lol

hypocrite, stfu

As long as they ain't breaking any rules - does it really matter where or how they got the games they are giving away? I don't really care what people put up for grabs as someone out there will surely want them anyways. I actually see it as a good thing since I've been wanting to play The Ship without actually buying it. Also, more points for everyone!

Besides, with the setup the site-admin made on how contributor points is calculated - they'd have to put up something that isn't part of bundles, giveaways, or exploited keys (and at least a total of 80$?) in order for them to get the full contributor value from their Ship giveaway.

@Thread-starter: If you really care that much about your contributor value, then go sell your Skyrim 40$ and go buy 4 sets of Amazon's Square Bundle. That'll give you at least 100 points and nobody will complain because those games are very good. (not really nobody, people who care much about contributor values will... like, say... thread starter?)

yeh right ... u WERE gonna give skyrim...

lol. so full of bs, and such a great contributor lol

He has point.

The cancer ruining SteamGifts are users like you. We already got a system that handles bundle games.

Give me the Skyrim key if you want to prove a point!!1

Why isn't the Ship on the bundle list already? It was in a bundle, websites gave it for free and people are abusing it.

While I can see your point, I just won a copy of the ship (I didn't have it and wanted it), and have created 2 new giveaways off the back of that fact. I wasn't thinking about how the giveaway copy was earned, I just wanted the game and was pleased it was being offered. If people have extra copies of a game that other people want, it might encourage the winner (as in my case) to give away more sought after games and thus be beneficial even for those people who loathe the fact that The Ship is being offered here at all.

You must play a lot of League of Legends. As a LoL player, I recognize this. :<

CANCER CANCER CANCER

OH NO. TOO MANY GAMES BEING GIVEN OUT. FOR FREE.
