Tales of Berseria is a good choice for a giveaway ;-)

Why is "Maybe" not a correct answer? Racism toward half-cyborgs?
Edit: Level 5 :(

Sorry about that... :( But I had to pick something... Guess any number would be wrong for someone... :(

Steam direct, so far, doesn't seem to be reducing the trash that gets put on the store at all.
I just finished setting my hidden SG games to "not interested" on the Steam store, all 8000 of them, which took roughly weeks. Ugh, so much junk.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I buy a lot of garbage bundles so most of that stuff's already in my library... :( Which is the other way to hide those giveaways... :)
Try the new puzzle! :)

Tried like 20 different answers for the new puzzle, no dice. Thanks anyways though :)

It wasn't intended to be a real puzzle... :) I meant to set the hint timer for 60 minutes but screwed up and it's 60 hours... Sorry! :) So check the topic again, I added a hint. :)

Yeah, I goofed, sorry... :) Check the topic again, there's a hint in there... :)

Thank you again, Fiftykyu for your nice giveaways and have a bump! :-)
Greenlight was a failure because Valve thought it would be ok if they wouldn't control it and Direct hasn't got to a good start because Valve didn't want or dare to make the fee at least 500$ a game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, $100 just wasn't enough... But I don't know the solution... :( Guess if it were easy, even Valve would have stumbled over it by now... :)
I thinik if you've decided you're not going to curate the store, your options are kinda limited... Like good businessmen Valve went with the "invisible hand" choice, and of course it immediately flipped them the bird...
Try your luck in the new puzzle! :)

Thank you for your new puzzle and giveaways! :-)
Your puzzle has cracked me instead of the other way around. ^^

insufficient level, okay :|
have fun peeking on Velvet's skirt :)

Sorry about that... :(
Oh, I can't do that, made a giveaway for Tales of Berseria in the new puzzle... :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, i think letting everyone to post their programming school exercises for $100 is a bad way of developing the marketplace..

Somehow these subtleties were lost on the giant brains at Valve... :) Oh well... :)
Try the new puzzle! :)

Have a bump.
Steam Direct didn't really change anything about the massive amount of trash games, but I like that they are trying to fix it (like with the new trading card system).
Sorry for making baby Jesus cry.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sure they are trying to fix it... Or, I'm not sure they are trying to fix the things we'd like them to fix... :)
I might think the problem is the store's full of crap, but they probably think the problem is they have to do too much non-hat-related work. :)
Try the new puzzle! :)

It will not accept the truth. I have no certainty that I'm not a construct made to resemble humans, yet without knowledge about my true identity.

Sorry about that, I was going to go back and edit the puzzle but I'm too lazy... :) Instead I made a new puzzle... :)

I don't see a big difference between before and now.

Oh crap, I think I'm a cylon, that explains why I always fail captchas !

If you got stuck in the new puzzle, it's probably because I set the hint timer wrong... :) So check for a hint in the topic again, sorry! :)

I've never really looked into Steam direct, and it confuses me to read that they actually verify your game before accepting it onto the Steam store. How and why in the world do (seemingly) every game gets accepted? For example, how did the most recent crap "meme game" Hentai got accepted, if only to be removed after a few days?
What is the point of accepting games onto Steam if whoever is in charge can't tell a "real" game from an asset-flipping, meme moneygrab, shit show of a "game"?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they are going to check the game doesn't crash, and doesn't have any virus. Probably via automation, since they are otherwise too busy polishing their money or whatever it is Valve do nowadays... :)
I assume there's no decision about the quality of the "game" since they are running as fast as they can in the opposite direction... Oh well...
Try the new puzzle! :)

Eh, I don't do puzzles much. I just wanted to share my two cents. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, these aren't real puzzles, it's just to keep the bots away. :) But if you saw the 60 hour giveaway timer (oops!) and bailed, check the topic again. :) Sorry about that! :)

No opinion on steam direct (yet) so here is just a simple bump before I leave
Comment has been collapsed.
Bruh, you sure like to write type, took me a while to read everything. No bump for you.
Wait, this is a bump... Crap, my plan failed! Retreat!

It's funny, each time I make some giveaways I end up stuck replying all weekend, and say hmm, why did I ask these questions... Oh well... :)
Try the new puzzle! :)

Or umm, ok I don't care if it gets bumped. And bumps just reduce your chances, and we don't want that, do we?
Thanks for the tip :) I'll make sure not to bump this thread ;)

Good work! :) Now come back and check out the new puzzle... :)

Scripts should not be used to automatically enter into giveaways. This includes scripts that enter multiple giveaways at once, or scripts that enter giveaways while you are away.
That's not even a question, ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Belated yeah, the hint timer was slightly broken... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, I figured it out eventually :) But I already owned them or wasn't interested in them and unlike bots I choose not to enter any of them, but thanks anyway ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh, well, don't tell anyone but it's not only bots who enter giveaways for games that don't interest them... Especially forum giveaways with better odds... :) But good luck in some other giveaway, somewhere or other... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Wut? Monsters! But yeah card farmers and +1-ers are kind of lamentable. Though I don't mind as much if the games are terrible anyway, but not the better games that actually are fun to play (at least for some). Still like your original GA's ^^ Also commendable that you respond to every reply :O
Comment has been collapsed.
There's a lot of games in my library where I feel bad for getting the trading cards... :) Not the crappy bundle games I was never intending to play, but the "real games" I bought to play, but somehow didn't (yet) ... :( But since I always sell any foil cards, it's better to idle everything quickly before the prices go down... :) Oh well...
Well, I stop replying eventually... :) And the way the multiple pages thing works I'm always overlooking a comment here or there... :( Hope it's not too many this time... :)

No problem blurp blump! :) And good luck with the new puzzle! :)

Steam direct won't solve anything. Valve would need to implement proper control over what they allow into their shop.
And then remove ~15k junk pieces of crap that's call itself "game" and is put there for 1$ just to earn money from cards or achievements. Shop is pretty much unusable right now, so in near future it will be completely unusable.
Comment has been collapsed.
If Valve though the problem was "not enough garbage in the store, not enough money in our pockets" then Steam Direct is the ideal solution... :)
Try the new puzzle... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I actually put it in the correct category this time, i.e. FREE STUFF INSIDE, CLICK HERE. You're welcome. :)
There's another puzzle added, so look around for it. It's in here somewhere... Umm, try reading or something. That link you didn't click on yet? Yeah, it's probably that one.
Hey, the weekend's coming. And I have no plans, but after reading the amazing topic I couldn't resist throwing some money away on random Level 5 humans to celebrate. Yay! :) You can imagine I pasted a bunch of celebration-related gifs in here, because I'm too lazy to hunt them up. Hooray for imagination! :)
Sorry, it's just a few cheap ones, because I'm cheap too. Oh well. And lately, Level 5 costs like $1 at Bundle Stars, so if that's too high, just spend a buck and go create a hundred crappy bundle junk giveaways, there's bound to be a few people who didn't buy all that stuff yet... :)
Obligatory Skyrim Rap: Gods be praised
Obligatory difficult anti-bot puzzle
OBLIGATORY MORE FREE STUFF protected by an even more difficult puzzle
Super-obligatory hint because some idiot set the hint timer wrong: COPY AND PASTE, PEOPLE! Sorry! :)
Good luck, humans! :)
Be sure to bump this when you solve the puzzle. Or umm, ok I don't care if it gets bumped. And bumps just reduce your chances, and we don't want that, do we? Let's just hope it dies in a couple hours.
Good luck, human! :)
So, as you're a human, you can read this dumb question which is probably just an excuse for me to bump the topic after people forget about it:
What do you think about the replacement for greenlight, Steam Direct? All I can think of is reductio ad absurdum, i.e. Valve's anti-curation taken to its logical conclusion. Soon the Steam store will contain 1000 real games, buried under a million pieces of game-shaped garbage. Good luck finding anything you'd ever want to play. No shortage of +1s for the game-collecting lunatics, though... :)
p.s. I was going to make a Skyrim giveaway, but the store's been saying Processing Payment for the last 15 minutes so never mind. Hopefully I will remember to check that tab next week or something... Sorry gang... :)
