Stop doing Evolve Alpha Key giveaways!

I honestly think the people who enter the giveaways when they clearly state that it is an alpha key (therefore HERESY) are far more pathetic.

it's fine, it's a win win scenario.
we can replenish our points, and as for them, right now on steam these appear as the full game with no mention of being an alpha key, but tomorrow...

That still doesn't make it right. Also, a nap could be any amount of time... lol

And this is the reason I approve of this giveaways!

When people see there are tons of giveaways of the same game they should always check on why is that first. If they're too dumb or lazy to do that they deserve to waste their points on a stupid alpha key lol.

And those of us who use their brain get free points, good stuff.

I have plenty of points to spend as well. I still shouldn't be asked to use 60 points on an alpha key that's worth $0. I think the bigger problem is that they are getting $60 of account credit for every free alpha key they give away.

i always have points as i only enter games i really want and not just any game i would like

so usually i always have 200 or more points

but yeah when i first saw it i thought is it a fake alpha GA then when i looked and see several others i was like damn they are giving the betas away

so i guess the lesson here is do not spend all your points and you would not need worthless GA to boost them back

Limited alpha keys? The alpha ends tomorrow, and it is against the rules. Not to mention, that it costs 60 points, but they got the code free.

BLAM this heretic too for daring to defend an alpha key giveaway, mon commissar!

Burn the heretics, kill the xenos, purge the unclean!

All of who? I'm not doing an actual giveaway in the home section, I'm giving three alpha keys to random people who comment on the post.

Most of them don't even read! XD

Maybe they should put this up each time they put up an Evolve Giveaway?

mods dont care about this, it was discussed dozens of times - free or alpha game and bam, we have flood
i also stoped caring, free points are free points

Wow... you won the second alpha key! Please don't accept if you already own the alpha.

Well, the Alpha Code for the game installs the full alpha version, and instead of having it's own thing, when friends see you play the alpha all it says is "Evolve". This is because of how they decided to make the Alpha. Basically, there is no way to know if it is a Beta or not, since the alpha doesn't have it's own Steam page. Because of this, the alpha is counted as the full game, fooling people on websites like this. I'm sure that wasn't there intention (2k's), but it is happening anyways.

No its not gonna stay and what would that solve anyway? There are always going to be people who don't read the rules even if they are plastered up everywhere for you to see.

All they need is a reminder every time you create a giveaway, that alpha/beta keys and stuff like that are not allowed.

It's alright, if they install it and it disappears tomorrow it will raise a whole bag of worms and the person who made the giveaway I believe will get permabanned? Don't quote me on that will have to revise rules sometime.

Haven't even thought of that... I would have been so sad :(

It is still HERESY!

Not received or not, it is still against the rules and should be enforced properly. I don't see what is so hard about reading the FAQ.

Also, you won the first Alpha Key :) If you already own the Alpha, please tell me.

I take exception to your libel. Not only are the SG Staff far from lazy, they are active and currently dealing with the glut of Evolve giveaways. Apparently, you managed to do your exhaustive investigation into the matter at a time when this was not noticeable.

Get a clue.

Nope. Multiple of them have ended already, with no sign of bans.

They should...... but rarely do if I recall.

I hope too.

I don't think anything has been done thus far, because (as unlikely as it might seem) some of those giveaways may actually be legit pre-order purchases. The only way they can find out is after the end of the trial period.

free point for us, blaming for the creator (after they get some addition CV), lesson learn for the winner.... everybody win.... Unless you are a mod that have to clean up the mess

And, like I said, the game sent out a key to most people who wanted a key. Plus, if you can't find a place to get a key, you really aren't looking hard enough.

It's HERESY!

sais the person who created a giveaway for a free ALPHA key pk

enjoy your report m8

Obviously I wasn't aware of that. Deleted the giveaway anyway. Just wanted to share the keys.

Sorry for any problems caused.

Of course you don't see the problem... you try to cheat the system too

there are people who use browser addon for entering giveaways automatically; in other words, those addon join giveaways, not the people themselves, of course addons don't know what "alpha" is.

Why not? It's against the rules, and some giveaways for the codes end after the alpha ends.

BECAUSE....then they will be able to enter contributor giveaways with high entrys
