They ar overpriced trash game made purposely to deceitfully increase bundle worth and scam site lite IndiGala or SteamGifts and get level with while giving away the same as polluted air.

ON SteamGift those game are treathed the right way, as scrap, here there is no enought control to do it but we all hope that somethign will be done so the more this get reported the better.

As far as i know steam is full of games and DLCs with low effort of coding not to mention all the low usage, overpriced soundtracks.
Do Indiegala follow any rules for the giveaways?
I couldnt find any - or can we just report anything we dont like, overpriced item DLCs - useless Soundtracks and low effort so called shovel ware?
Im pretty sure noone produce this sort of sofware to give giveaway holders on IndieGala or SteamGift the chance to give this away for free and get more rewardpoints then for better products. That sound absurd. This products are made to produce cash and as long as they are sold they will exist on Steam. with a higher level on giveaway sites noone can make money. The only problem here is the way indiegala calculates the giveaway price but thats not a reason to report products that are given away for free - its more a reason to change some lines of code for the calculation.

What is with the people who put their galasilver already in these giveaways - will they be refunded or do we steal the silver from them if we report a low effort and overpriced contet in free giveaways?

I find this practice highly questionable!

Furthermore there should be a way to giveaway gog products as well with all the prime/luna gog codes out there which alot of people get for free each week. It wouldnt be so hard to code to add in these products for the giveaways but instead they are blocked. Seems to me this giveaway function is mostly intended to give away indiegalas own products and indiegala dont sell gog keys. So we wont see a change here to a more consumer friendly way.

Yeah, you can go to the forum and give your GOG keys away there, a lot of people want them (and i'm not asking for them myself, i have Prime). So easy to give stuff away !

Yes, ive seen this. Thank you, thats an opportunity of course.
But if i see it correctly one main concern here is that members get too much leveling points in the giveaway section by offering "bad" games and on the other hand mostly "good" games you get for free all the time wont get you any reputation at all. That sounds twisted to me and would be easy to solve if someone of the devs of this site would listen. At least it would make up a bit for all the worse offers and flood the site with way more good ones. Might be useless to talk about as it seems to me nothing will change and i can see or read here some kind of frustration.

@azazelanime

Intentionally mislabeled a giveaway of a removed from Steam game, which is against the rules. (Giveaways require valid steam links, which is impossible for games removed from Steam)


@yellowdreadreference (AKA AlaskanMenace)

Free on Steam (with no card drops)

no chance to win, no galasilver will refund and ga mostly will remove by mod. don't waste galasilver and stop joining this kind of ga.

Unless the giveaway is a guaranteed giveaway (which that one wasn't) you are required to provide a valid steam store page link when creating the giveaway.

If you give the link of a game that has been removed from Steam, then the system throws an error and prevents you from going further with the giveaway creation process, as seen in this video:

Basically here's the jist of the rules:

1. Don't start giveaways for games/DLCs you don't own (using bogus keys to start giveaways)
2. Don't start giveaways for games/DLCs that obviously don't have any valid keys in circulation (this game and this DLC are examples)
3. Don't start giveaways for games that are currently free anywhere else, unless that key gives access to Steam trading card drops
4. Don't use Alpha/Beta/Demo/Playtesting/Trial keys for giveaways.
5. Don't use any keys other than Steam keys for giveaways. (This one is largely ignored if the game has an equivalent Steam store listing)
