It actually looks pretty decent now! And they support Origin giveaways. Too bad they still have the same unbalanced point system. :/

they still have the crappy chat & the 'top contributors' is just a plain rip-off from SG (don't get me started on the rip-off part :p)

Rip-off for sure but you really can't complain about having places to possibly win free games. I do hate that crappy chat thing though. They just need a complete overhaul on their points system and to get rid of that awful chat window and the site would actually not be bad.

I know they are in the works of getting a new chat. Been emailing them about once a week to see when.

I have well over a million points and there is never a game on there that I don't already have. I used to just burn them off on the poker games and randomly on really expensive entries, but I don't even feel like doing it anymore.

I did get a kick out of their email, which said, "GalaGiveaways now supports ORIGIN games, which means you have the chance now to win FANTASTIC AAA titles!" They seem so happy that there is finally AAA games on their site. Of course they are bundled, so they still fit with the site.

That problem is likely because of the small community over there and the lack of proper filters.

It's a good place to throw away unneeded Desura and now Origin keys, but it's a very rare thing for me to find a game I don't already have on there. And when that happens, it's some overly expensive GA that eats up most of my points.

2,869,210 here. From rock bottom.

And as one would expect if one had any sense, the number of worthwhile GAs plummeted since there's no incentive to make attractive to earn points any more.

I was very annoyed by the fact that the entire site was moving all over the place as it was loading :/ at least this new design almost fixed that (not entirely).

But I still don't like the giveaway style... some GWs are 200 points some are 2mil... the points there are currency :/

SG is the elite of GA culture

I was using a Greasemonkey script that someone else wrote to do some basic filtering/hiding but the new design broke it. The script hasn't been updated since its initial release in February so I guess it's time for me to learn JavaScript.

Wait. Did they change it so you don't use a name and password to log on now? And now just use the steam thing?

The giveaway section looks a lot like SG now...

Also glad they updated the forum. (Old forum hurt my eyes.)
Now instead of making it look like the 90s, it looks like it's from the 2000s. :D

Also kinda sucky we can't filter games we own...

SG >>>>>> GG >>> Playblink (I know there's the miner sight thing, but I forgot the name and I Don't remember how it works.)
