Batten down the hatches, powder monkeys! We got a coin shop starboard!
Just wanna say thanks to Ernie and all Chrono's staff to be such generous and kind to me\us.
Sadly for someones bad behaviours this wonderful project, that helped many ppl that can't afford buy many games,will end soon.
But i will keep an eye on Chrono next step for sure.
Kodos to you all.

I'm up to 2200 coins.... but everything but a 5000 Minion Master DLC is sold out, so...
Comment has been collapsed.
You are at better situation than me and many others. You will lost just 2200 coins.
I have above 67k because the games were never good or when they were, they were overpriced.
I don't want Minion Master DLC. I want the right to spend my coins in the shop. And I don't have that right, because the games has been sold out so quickly.
They never properly announced the change. So shady tactics.

Good that they announced it just today. There is literally no way the announcement was on main page before. I logged it daily and I just see it today. It's past May 29th. And there is no single key left.
For me, that's big scam.
It's so ironic that at May 1st I said to my sister that I haven't bought any game for so long and just bough a game from Coin Shop that day. Because there is never a good game/not overpriced game in the shop. And now they are just removing all the coins we gathered and not giving option to use them? This is nothing but scam.
Not enough keys for prolly 3/4 or more people. I've seen people having so many and couldn't spend it. Instead of removing unused coins, they should give something in return. How is this even fair that they made decision out of the blue, wipe all the keys from Coin Shop and won't let most of the people use the coins they gathered fairly.
I'm so disappointed. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. That another company is too greedy. They won't see me on the site anymore, then. Because I don't have the reason now... If the announcement was made half a year prior and was being properly announced to everyone, this would be okay. But it wasn't. And the games just disappeared so suddenly by desperate people.

I gathered almost 60k+ of coin, never used for a single game [missed dead cells and redout] and luckily I used them on last 2 games - Seven enhanced and Iconoclast. Without these games mostly avaible titles were just 'meh' for me [except beholder and descendant but I own them ] .
Just wished that they added more 'big prices' games

Like already mentioned the announcement was made on May 15th and it was visible in fat letters on the main page above the coin you click on since then. It's you fault if you didn't see it just because you didn't pay any attention to the site at all, which was the whole reason why they even gave away those games for free.
The new games were sold out almost immediately both on May 15th and on May 29th (almost certainly due to people abusing the site with multiple accounts/bots, which is part of the reason why it was closed) so you had to be quick to get one of them, but there was plenty of time to buy a bunch of other, less desirable games that were left in the two weeks inbetween.
Also, how is it a greedy company? You do realize that these games were given away for absolutely free? And yeah, I guess they won't see most people anymore because most people never bought anything and were only on that site to grab a free game every once in a while. Which is perfectly fine, but don't pretend you would have actually bought games to give them something back for providing free games (some of which were actually decent bundle games).
I can understand how it's disappointing that you missed the announcement, but the entitlement in your post is unbelievable.

Bots can grab new games very fast, faster than a human can do it which means they can easily get all the good games before us normal people even got a chance at it.
Connecting Steam won't prevent that much since it's easy to have multiple Steam accounts and ID card photo is easily faked as well since you can simply grab a random photo from the internet and use that.
Against multi accounts, the best thing is IP checker, sure some use VPN but a lot of them don't, besides that I am not sure what you can do.

They use bots to enter good (more expensive) giveaways all day using up maximum of their points.
You already connect your Steam account when you first log in. That's how it syncs your profile, owned games and WL games. They just make multiple Steam accounts to use on SG as well. How else would they be bots?
ID card verification is something not a lot of people would be willing to give (including me, that can be used to steal identity) and only shady sites ask for such things.
Captcha verification each time you log in would be better or what many sites are using mobile phone verification, or Google Authenticator app (similar to Steam Authenticator)
Maybe too as above guy mentioned IP address check to see if multiple accounts are using same IP address.
Comment has been collapsed.
He is talking about bots and multi-accounts on Chrono, not on Steamgifts ^^
But yes ID card check I would never be ok with, I never once used a website that needed that and I never will!
Captcha would be way better, it can be annoying but it would prevent many bots from entering giveaways for sure!
If this site would force me to give them my phone number, I would stop using it to be honest, they already have my mail and my Steam account, I personally am not willing to give more to a random website and I know many others that think the same way.
I know stuff are needed to prevent bots and they will always be a problem, but simple stuff (like the IP check) and whatever can already help a lot, won't be perfect for sure but it would help
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I stayed awake all day so didn't realise Lol XD.
They already have Captcha though that even pops images sometimes, how are bots bypassing that?
Something similar to Steam Guard Authenticator. Steam has option for email too (albeit limited one)
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, the login captcha, but as soon as you are logged in, you could just stay logged in forever, it doesn't log you out so captcha would be useful for buying games in the case of Chrono, same as that it would work here to be able to join a giveaway so bots can't join easily.
Just a captcha for logging in isn't that interesting unless the website keeps logging you out which would be a pain if it did that every time :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Captcha used only when we log in Steamgifts is meh, better solution is when a giveaway button is hidden and user have to complete some 'captcha task' to unveil and take part.
Have multiple Steam is one thing, but on other hand have account without steam-limits is something else, because owner have to buy 5 'steam' euros/ wallet cash

Their fault. The announcement was on the site June 1st and not earlier. So it was already after the fact. They could write it earlier, but it wasn't on the Chrono.gg site. And if it were somehow, it wasn't looking like announcement, because I haven't seen that. If You do something like that, You are suppose to do big announcement, visible at first glance 6 months prior the fact at least. They failed to do so.
Comment has been collapsed.
The announcement was made around the 15th of May and was as big as it is now, nothing changed but the fact that for whatever reason, you only saw it until now, you can't blame them for that since we all saw it just fine and like I said, the problem is/was on your side.

You didn't even post the most fun one:

Any news on when will Space Beast Terror Fright be restocked? Or are they restocking any other game?
Can someone link (back up) where the restock news came from and was mentioned by Chrono?

+1. thanks. i get this wl game. i hope other games i can get
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the heads-up! Was waiting to see if they would lower the cost for a final batch, but it's the original 13K. Great for anyone who still has lots of coins, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's something that's been happening for specific games since this last batch went up, once they reached 99% claimed [in my case, it happened for two games at 99%, but I was still able to claim two other ones just fine]. Seems to just be a site bug based on all copies of a game being claimed but the listing not properly being closed.

Soliciting trades on the forums can lead to a suspension, [presumably] either for Inappropriate Behavior (2 Days) or Spam (3 days).
Soliciting decidedly imbalanced trades could be considered equivalent to Begging/Soliciting Gifts (4 day suspension).
If staff feels inclined towards it, they can stack the suspensions, for a 6 to 7 day suspension (more, if this isn't your first infraction).
As such, you'd probably be better off using SteamTrades or Barter.vg for your trading attempts. Though, regardless of medium, I'd encourage going for a more fair trade offer- while I can't speak to the relative grey market value, the trade value of Iconoclasts is notably higher than that of SBTF.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, as Sooth said, and I agree that it isn't a fair trade even if it was allowed.
I'd delete your comment fast if I were you! It's against the rules. You'll likely get suspended if a mod sees it.

finally we can enjoy clicking on a coin without any expressible value, now it's like walking in a forest.
