These tasks are like working on tremorgames.
Thanks and a nice use of charts. ^^

It's fun to make charts! :D Plus if it helps people that's a great thing and worth the time! ^^
..but yeah, a lot of those gleam.io giveaways seems like heavy tasks sometimes.

Do you actually get forewarned of these GAs? I'd like to include polls too, but already get sniped often when making just a quick short post.

Only the one from last time as far as I know. This time I asked him what games were in it since I don't see it being mentioned anywhere in the gleam.io link.
Normally I just check what games it says, make those into the poll + 1-2 funny options or relevant options (like damn instagram or whatever), and I post it. I do the charts, actions etc afterwards.
There have been several times where I was sleeping when they published the giveaways, so I was obviously too late to make a post. :P

so, just wrote the REX admin the following. Let's see what will be replied.
Why would tasks bother you at all?
real opinion time: I have 2 issues with the current state.
1) Tasks, even a few more, aren't a problem by itself. I do however have an issue with joining Steam groups that then massively and constantly spam not just with announcements but also most annoying 'event' notification popups for things that are no events.
Also with 0 interest in CSGO, having to join all these CSGO related groups with nonsense like "betting" (which I consider borderline illegal) is frankly stupid.
Combined with the spread of tons of groups from one and the same basic entity, just with slightly different names that serve no other purpose than bolstering the membership count (even if it's always the same users) just to impress devs with pretended higher numbers.
2) The new trend of "random" keys
Putting in 70-80% of massively given out games, that currently next to everyone interested already has, while putting in 'a few' aliby keys of new/more-wanted titles, is also just a shaby tactic to get significantly more people to do tasks than otherwise would for the massed-games (which wouldn't get much attention at all) or the small amount of keys for those new titles that'd be gone in minutes.
And this scheme works. That I don't have to tell you, you know that.

Now, I'm not ungrateful for getting free games. As said, doing some tasks is fine with me. But these points above make it increasingly annoying and also futile. I don't need a 5th Unknown Battle or 10th Journey To The Center Of The Earth key, thanks.
This then simply leads to adverse reactions like seen here and at the same time groups like WGN, IndieGala and GoldenGiveaways clearly show that it is possible to do different and better.
For what it's worth, at least you are slightly above OGG, but that isn't much to say.

+1 Not bad^^ I agree with everything! :) Let me know what he says!
The only thing I like about the random keys is the surprise of 'what will I get?' .. and more interesting polls. :P In my opinion at least.

more interesting polls.
yes to see how few there are of the good game ;-)
the surprise of 'what will I get?'
no surprise there, always what I already own xD

LOL xD well, I love statistics! So it's always interesting to see what people get^^
Me too! But when you click 'next' to install (before confirming to install) you see what game it is.
...I did however have a lucky day yesterday concerning freebies! A whole four new games for me :P (not from this giveaway though)
