Interesting proposal, but it should be an option not an imposition .

Edit: as reported by others, there is such possibility with sgtools. So there is already.

OK, lets just ignore the fact that with "entries limit" GA you would have to be just in time to be able to join it before orthers, so your probability of winning isn't really higer...

Popular GA that is open for week usually have 2-3k entries, but if its open for hour or two there will be around 300-600 entries.
Popular GA with time limit would be full in hour anyway, so whats the difference?

If you don't want to too many people join your GA then set time for an hour, set higher lvl, use SGT or make invite-only GA then delate link to it when too many people join.

Current system allows you to limit or even determine amount of entirs, and gives you far more options to decide how those giveaways look like. Many people use those options.

So basically you just want to limit ga-creators possibilieties .__.

I think it would be a good addition (as an opt-in option) for invite only giveaways - like with puzzles - , but definitely not for public ones.

No. Don't. That would make bots reign supreme.

The real issue is bot/leech accounts. Eliminate those and actual users will have a much greater chance.

Judging from your other thread begging for free AAA games it seems your reason for posting this is entirely motivated by the fact that you haven't won anything yet. Anyway have a nice vacation.

I still like my own idea from 7 months ago better:

I don't think it got much visibility then.
In short: make the number of points needed for entry customizable.

It's ok as it is.
Want less entries?
Make/enter giveaways for:

• whitelist
• high levels
• groups

And make them all 1 hour long.
It's all awesome as it is right now in my opinion, never had a problem.
I only join giveaways of three types:

• 2 or more copies
• level 6+
• whitelist/groups

Since I've got tons of games on my wishlist and I don't want to use my points here on giveaways with tons of participants. It's just my way of living this awesome website: my giveaways often have hundreds or thousands of entries, and of course they all have a winner :)

The only problems as everyone said are created by bots and autojoiners, nothing else. Doing something the OP suggested would signify basically open every possibility to bots and leeches, ten times as it is now. We don't really need these things.

I love how biased that poll is. Real mature; my guy. Real mature.

sure there has to be one winner but definitely not "you".

You have to keep in mind, EVERYONE has the same chance of winning.

I like-ish the idea. kinda. but it has some flaws.

worst thing i've ever heard.
