actually i think this thread, is a hair more accurate for this particular title. =)
edit: now steamground also has it in stock

Fishy GAs indeed. I can't find bundles with this title, other games affected are
Edge of Hearts.

hmmm, thanks for pointing that out,
I supose those games will count as bundled or directly removed from games that can be given away.

they should eventually be retro-added to the bundle list for the date they started having large amounts of giveaways for. but they won't be pulled from the list though unless they actually go free somewhere, since they are still a paid item. regardless how cheap they cost. =)

At leat retro-added to the bundle list as you have said is the way to go for the moment. I wonder if users that created those GA will get a ban, at least if they leveled up thanks to that GAs.

Retro add is the way they have always gone, no ban as there is no rule against making giveaways for cheap games.

It would be just wrong to ban people that haven't broken any rules. Sure, it feels like cheating, but technically it's not.

Why would users be suspended for making giveaways on a giveaway site?

The $0.07 this game costs for $15 worth of CV is ridiculous. One guy even got 50 copies so he could get $750 worth of CV for just $3.50. So it looks like we are just going to allow this kind of blatant CV farming here for this game and others like it. It has not been added to the bundle list and even if it were, at the reduced CV rate of a 'bundle' game it is still is the equivalent of buying a game at ~97% off discount, even after the CV modifier has already been applied. Anyway there's something seriously wrong with the picture when three copies of a 7 cent game give more CV than a copy of DooM (2016). Completely breaks the system here and you may as well just throw it all in the garbage because it's working about as well as Greenlight. Really dropping the ball here I'm sorry to say.
edit: time to dump the CV system altogether so this sort of thing is no longer incentivized

+ ∞I wonder what brings more traffic to the site... Actual quality games or trash like this ?

No different than the dollar bundles from Bundle stars. 25 games for $1 or 4c each. Or even the Humble Bundle $1 for several pieces of software that cost up to $100. Steam Ground actually has credit card charges etc once you check out so that 7c game may of actually cost 8c or 99.5% and not 99.6% off.
Anyhow, this is a gifting site. Be happy.

Why would / should we be happy if we have no interest whatsoever in trash games like this ?

we can't do something with this 😮
For example, brand new $6 game Bunker 58, released - June 10,
2 days ago keys for this trash are selling for 0,03$ on russian sites like this
And yeasterday this game was in new otakubundle
So bundle date will be probably yesterday, and all who made giveaway 2 days ago will get full cv 😮

When otaku, indiegala and bundlestars stop making trash $2-3 bundles with $0,03 games? 😊

Call me a hardliner but many Indie devs should not be allowed to generate keys for their own games since they simply can't handle the responsibility :(

Can't google it on SG forum, was it bundled somewhere?
