Game reduced to no value only after giveaway ended

#1

If you're going to reduce the value to zero only after the giveaway ended, that's scummy, even steamgifts has marked it with value.

I'll consider seriously about making future giveaways in this site if that's how you're going to proceed.

I got this response:

Hello,

Games that have 0.1-4% value of original price are considered shovelware and are automatically detected and disabled by the site crontab and retroactively recounted for everyone who used them if abuse level is considered medium/high.

#3

You can check if your game price is like 96% off to see

That's kinda bullshit because the giveaway lasted for a week, it was only until the giveaway was over that it got reduced.
The game was not ai/dailyindiegame shovelware.

And if this is the case why not just don't allow it in the first place? that would help a lot or it's more important to the staff to keep real shitty shovelware games on the giftaway list to inflate numbers?

MEANWHILE; REAL AND ACTUAL SHOVELWARE HAVE MORE VALUE


Crap gaveaway for free? Yeah let's give it value

The gift I gave away is worth $1.35 and i won't accept being valued less while actual dailyindiegame shovelware massproduced by ai sold DAILY for pennies is valued more here.

We can't auto-detect them until someone makes a giveaway. There are over 200.000 game id's in our database and running extensive checks to each would eat up API/resources in an instant.

Creating a ticket with store pages for games which are not properly devalued would be of a great help to fix inflated prices.

all of those professor watts should be zeroed. they're freely given away in the past and presently by a former twitch streamer now offerwall redemption website

steamgifts regularly diminishes or even zeroes out value, nothing different than what SD is trying to do here.

Games from mass giveaway have zero value. No matter, what key shop prices say. Same like steamgifts works.

Games from mass giveaway have zero value.

Is the game from mass giveaway in the room with us here?

#10

alfi

Games from mass giveaway have zero value.

https://barter.vg/i/196052/
Again, where is the mass giveaway you're talking about?

alfi

Same like steamgifts works.

Ironic because the game HAS value in steamgifts, unlike here which is zero

Игры, полученные в результате массовой раздачи, не имеют никакой ценности.

https://barter.vg/i/196052/

И снова, где же та массовая раздача, о которой вы говорите?

alfi

Работает так же, как и Steam Gifts.

Ирония в том, что игра имеет ценность в Steam Gifts, в отличие от этой, где она равна нулю.

It doesn't make sense.
