I see that punch club which was given away at orlygift has been removed from SG.

I think that whoever is responsible for such decisions should really have a look at the orlygift site before making a unilateral decision. I think they gave away a rather limited number of copies of punch club (something like 4 keys / hour for a day), certainly it did not seem enough to warrant removing the game from SG - especially if you consider that even on giveaways with a couple of hundred copies on orlygift, the chance to win one is not very good.
For instance runestone keeper is now being given away and its not far from how many punch club copies were given. Why remove a game given away there when its like 24 copies - or even 100 copies, it makes no sense ?
The principle here should be, not to deprive SG of a game because of a limited giveaway on one site.... it does seem right.

I understand when orlygift gives many thousands of copies of a game, but when its a few (even a couple of hundred copies) it makes no sense....

I guess I could be wrong, just seems a bit extreme.

I don't know the reason why Puch Club was removed, but if it was indeed to some raffle of less than 100 copies then it's definitely ridiculous; however I trust the Support and Mods staff, I don't think that's the reason :]

Looks like I made my Punch Club giveaway just in time. Too bad you can't give it away anymore.

If it's less than 1,000 keys it can be ok, depending if there's a huge surge of giveaways for it or not. If there's a big surge they will remove it.

I'm guessing when Punch Club was removed whoever did it didn't realize it was only 24 keys. That's probably why it's been added back on and you can create giveaways with Punch Club again.

I agree with the majority. They only gave away 24 keys and that's like a drop in a bucket. We should still be able to list it here. Maybe set a fixed number that it has to go over to be removed.
