Well, I made a giveaway of the single key I got. Just wanted to share. Sorry. ;(

What "CV greed" if those games are marked as bundled? Most people giving those games away already had at leasy 30$CV anyway.

Don't let others tell you what you should be sorry for. You did nothing wrong.

I love this apologist no blame concept. Taking something from someone and giving it to someone to your benefit is wrong. I don't see a single thread from these "generous" folks helping the public with information on how to get their own copy. No people giving this game away are doing it for greed. The opinions on why it's ok don't hold any water, it's cognitive dissonance and self justification.

Welcome to humanism 101, i cannot be wrong any concept wherein i am wrong clearly shows your failure.

No one benefits here other than people who will get the game. He has a right to ONE key. It's his own decision what he'll do with it. Selling it would be indeed wrong but giving it away so someone else can play it is good.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's being given away through a system that rewards the giver. I can see why is that regarded as wrong.

Can't think up better ways to encourage developers to stop giving us content as thanks for supporting them huh?

Socialism does not really work that way. Blinkdog was more on the point.

How are you so sure he was trying to reply to a comment? He could just agree with the topic.

Aha! Lol :P I obviously have the perception of a senile mole

Wut?
How exactly are people abusing it? Please, tell me.
As far as I can see it they want to share the game with others. Where's abuse in that?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see OP talking about giving away multiple keys. He basically said that every person giving away at least 1 copy of Blackwell is an abuser. I agree that snatching more than 1 key is not fair. But claiming one key (because you can, 1 per person is fair even if you own the game) and giving it away is fine IMO.

Personally as was stated above, when we could all get the game for ourselves, taking the free gift from them to get credit for yourself is abuse in my book.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did they buy the game? Is it within the realm that wadjeteye intended for their giveaway? These people are taking someone else's intellectual property, without paying for it, and distributing it, more often than not for their intended benefit. To try and justify that is weak and sad.
Comment has been collapsed.
They're not selling it. They don't benefit. What's so hard to understand? You trying to be "holier than thou" is laughable. Mr Saint. Going around on forums yelling that peoeple giving away games are bad is actually weak and sad.

On times like these it's much easier to blame Reddit.

This was already a previously bundled game. You get no credit for it. And I heard they fixed people getting the entire Wadjet catalog. Anyways that was a good game. I'm sure the dev was doing it to promote the next Blackwell game coming soon.

Ah. And we all are naive in some field. Usually many.
But to mistake good will for naivety is truly cynical and base.
That's like you getting in a car with me, and me driving so hard that I make you vomit (which I most certainly could for most in short order) or become afraid, and then calling you naive for getting into the car with me in the first place.
Just because I can abuse someone else at any opportunity in a car, it doesn't mean that I should.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, they were indeed very naive to think it wouldn't get abused. How is that cynical? It was proven to be true. Naivety and good will are not mutually exclusive.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well blaming the victim is never really my policy, but as we've proven in this thread, most folks are just basic animals.
And no, naivety and good will are not mutually exclusive. But neither are opportunity and abuse.

The developer did it in a BAD way. Look at the new Humble Bundle way to redeem Steam codes, thats the way to stop LAME and GREEDY people. And sadly, that is a shit to the ones who just want to share the games that they dont want/need in some bundles, but hey, say a big THANK YOU to the ones "sharing" The blackwell deception, Civilization V, Mafia II, etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
Now THAT is lame. Getting free keys and selling them or trading for something of value. That's not fair at all. But some people just have no morality.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is nothing wrong with doing Deception giveaways whatsoever, even if you "exploited" ( no info or rules on giveaway, as far as I'm concerned I should be able to take 1000 keys if I so choose)
You guys have some sort of jealously issues, because you somehow think people have something to gain with these extra giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
And anyone entering a Deception giveaway doesn't know it is being offered for free. Otherwise they would never entered the giveaway in the first place.
So having giveaways actually HELPS everyone by getting the word out to people who would have otherwise NEVER have known they can receive a game for free.
So its a good thing
Whoever made this thread, "SHAME ON YOU" for not thinking things threw and blinding starting a witchhunt.

"the update limits giveaways that might have originated from a bundle to 20% of your total value"
Thats something, as far as i know. And btw, the thing is people like you fuck the thing for others, getting a lot of keys for nothing, just for what? giving away now? x)

Wow.

We sure do. You have some education and morals issues on the other hand. And, if you so desire, we could talk about them.

It has already been marked as bundled for a year.

It is still on. Open this page - http://www.bmtmicro.com/steamkeys/getkey.jsp

Looks like CG and Bobo have deleted all the active giveaways :)

Same, especially with it being a bundle game already.

SHAME ON YOU!
Hope all the credit is removed for that game, the developer tried to do something brilliant for market presence and really nice to us, naturally ppl have to abuse abuse abuse.
To the rest of you those of you who reported to wadjet eye that their giveaway was unintentionally giving away every single game. I love you and thank you.
Sincerely
The Wrinkle
