Same here. I am also trying to enter the ones that will end sooner than others. Well, with my luck I shall lose and wait to
get more Points.

sorry i don't get the point of this thread is to say your entering giveaways?

Good times indeed, there used to be endless streams of GOOD giveaways, before IGN ruined Humble, before profitors ruined bundles in general, and most importantly, before Valve ruined Steam.
And it was even better earlier, as points generation used to be proportional to the cost of new giveaways being created, rather than a fixed rate (it was changed literally the day you registered), so we also used to get more points than we'd ever be able to spend.
With a bundle the size of this, we'd probably get a full 400 points refill every few hours.

Yeah nothing ever improves, does it?
(it was changed literally the day you registered)
LOL I remember that well. Everyone was bemoaning the change.

I thought of it more as of an avalanche, but yup, same experience
Keeping an eye out for best odds, unentering giveaways that are ending days from now, and so on :p
I was disappointed yesterday with not winning anything despite spending so much points and 72% win chance, but then I won 2 games today.
I suppose this feels like unintentional community train in regards to almost everyone winning something. ^^

I had a 80.88% win chance on Mar, 19 mainly from entering a lot of GAs that had 5-30 entries. A user named aaaveritt posted a bunch of NA region-locked GAs around 5am EST when most people in the region were asleep. I only won 1 game (Metro Exodus) from that lot. Several people had 2 wins. 1 user got very luck with 4 wins!

Dear Esther is really good too, it's actually considered to be the very first walking sim.
I've played it and it hold up really well for it's age, and if you finish it and start it again, you get completely new dialog up to 3 playthroughs excluding the directors commentary. The graphics are gorgeous and a lot of objects are randomly generated giving each player a new and different experience to make up the holes in the story with the objects.
Talking about it makes me want to play it again, actually...

Wait, really? The very first? :o
Not surprised I don't know this, I haven't paid much attention to walking sims back when it came out.
And fortunately, you don't need to encourage me to play - I've been entering giveaways only for games I want to play for a long time. Still, a recommendation brings such a game closer to the top of backlog :p

Not everybody has that amount of money and I can perfectly understand it. It's a lot of money in some countries that pays for their food or bills. Some of us, who don't have to struggle that much financially can get to make such sacrifices.
It's sad to see that the most willing people to help others are the ones that barely have nothing.

Wish I could, but my hours got cut, my car lease is up in a couple of months and there's really only one or two games on it I want. Rather burn my limited funds on Elden Ring or something.

Same here.
I generally enter all the giveaways for games on my wishlist, and then use up most of my extra points on random interesting giveaways ending in an hour, that have less than a thousand entries.
Within 16 hours of this bundles release, i'm now consistently out of my points while entering only giveaways ending in the next hour, and less than 50 entries!
Soo many great games in this bundle. Really horrible event that inspired it, but always awesome to see the beauty of humanity in response. Even if minimally from the comfort of their home.

first time in months ive had 0 points. i would buy the bundle myself but ive already donated a few times to charity's. if i donate any more ill become the object of charity.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just you wait, Fanatical will have a charity bundle soon too.
Yes, I did notice the increase in games. Although I bought the charity bundle, there were other bundles floating around at the same time that I did not buy, so for the first time in a while I'm not sitting on 300+ points.
I've also noticed that people are "broke" right now. I did a few giveaways from the bundle, and imagine public giveaways having entries in the single digits!

For awhile my points would just sit at 400, but with the Heroines bundle and the new Ukraine Bundle my points quickly have been depleting. I'm not used to seeing so many wishlist GAs lol. I've spent as many points as I could on Celeste, Scarlet Nexus, Back 4 Blood, Sunset Overdrive, Vagante, Satifactory, Starbound, Severed Steel, Cloudpunk and Gears 5. Then I try to squeeze in ones for Pikuniku, Inmost, Pathway, ToeJam & Earl, Shing and a few others when I can. NeEd moAR pOInTs!! lol

I don't have this problem, because I gladly purchased this bundle. Mostly to give support to Ukraine. :)
Vault boy stand with Ukraine :D
💙💙

Because of the Ukraine HB, there are very many GAs from my wishlist right now, and so many ending today that I'm rationing points, spending them on the GAs with the best odds for me, dropping any GA more than a day out, and calculating the 24 points/hour as I look at each wave of GA endings.
Is anyone else having the same experience?
Everyone's generosity is keeping me on my toes! Thanks, folks!
