Key is dupe, new key plz
5 years, that's quite a stretch. I agree a lot of good people have left, but I still enjoy hanging out here. Anyhow, happy cake day and thanks for the share =D

Happy Cake Day!
Well, I hope the key does not end with someone who does not appreciate such a great game ._. While I'm sure that I won't be the lucky one, I want to thank you and maybe your faith in the community will be restored. I know, it's unlikely, but whet else have we, besides our hopes? ^^
Enjoy your Cake Day, eat some real cake and just have a great day!
Hmm O.o Da hat bei den Beleidigungen aber jemand von den ganz Schlauen gelernt. Und diese Kreativität! Nicht mal mehr da geben sich die Leute Mühe.

Happy cakeday, Amano! :)
Yeah, a lot's changed in 5 years' time... changes to Steam's gift copy policy, an influx of asset flip games or those with thousands of meaningless achievements, and people have come and gone, but it's good to hear that you still think there are jewels here. There are even a couple of brand new members who immediately come to mind due to their warmth and friendliness, so don't give up hope! :D

First, congrats and thank you :)
After level 10 I lost some SG motivation, to be honest. If was a kind of "now what?" moment. Since the CV no longer exists for me, I'm not so concerned about giving away all of my games here. I'm (also) giving them away in other places and directly to people who might want them more. In the end what I enjoy is giving someone a gift, making them happy or excited, and that hasn't changed at all.

Nice milestone.
Why is someone a bad person if they only do region locked giveaways? I can't put money in paypal since they got in trouble with the IRS a while back and removed their Paypal Cash card and I've no way of buying third-party bundles, so instead of buying games on steam and gifting them to people in NA I should just stop gifting ? I don't care about level, I purposely don't join many giveaways that I would like because I feel I've won so much that guilt kicks in, I buy something at a much higher price than bundlers gift it, then watch it get bundled and lose all of the CV. I've gifted mulitple copies of games like H1Z1 then it goes free...threw away a couple hours of work there. I refuse to give free games....Chrono.gg has been helpful in gifting without locks. Meh whatever...just gets old being seen as less than because I can't constantly give bundles.

There are always exceptions to the rule. Always. So don't take it personal, please :)

Edit: I am not in a bad mood, I am really not :D I even bought Yakuza 0 as a giveaway to celebrate my half decade :)
So, today is my 5th cakeday. I registered on this site on August 15th, 2013. 5 years ago. Time flies.
At first, i was totally overwhelmed and it did take some time to figure out how this site works. I had way less money then, didn't know about bundles and it took really long to climb the ranks. Leveling up felt like an achievment.
Oh boy, how did that all change!
Now I am earning a decent wage, am an expert deal and bundle hunter, my library exploded and collecting games has become a habit. A kinda meta-game in itself.
Leveling up means nothing anymore because there are hardly any games left for me to enter.
My experience with SG in those years? Well.. Meh. The site changed. Shovelware or however you want to call it floods the site. It's logical, because in this SG is a mirror of the current state of PC gaming in general and Steam in particular.
Quality of SG users has also declined. There are still a lot of jewels around but it is harder to find them in the puddle of mudd. There, I said it. And this saddens me. Anyone still around who still remembers the OddLama and his giving sprees?
Well, here is an obligatory giveaway which is very likely to end up in the hands of a leecher with many not activated games who only does region locked giveaways, can't say Thank you and will insult me when I don't send the key within minutes after his win and who will resell the key and claim I never send it.
Public giveaways nowadays. Only for masochistic people.
Edit:
SG community never ceases to amaze me, not even on my cakeday ;) (Pictured comment was posted on my Steam profile mere minutes after this thread went live. Must be an alt account)
Edit:
I wanted to give feedback if the winner was of the category I cynically described, but I can't give this feedback without calling him out, sooo...
Edit:
Unfortunately I had to delete the giveaway :( I bought the key from Voidu and the store page didn't mention a region lock because I bought the key with a european IP-address. But if you visit the page from outside of the EU, you get a warning regarding region lock. Which I could not see. Duh. So my key is EU only and I only found out about this after the original and the re-rolled winner both could not activate the key :(
Edit:
Here is a new giveaway for all your troubles with the old one, this time it should really be a ROW version.
