[Edit] Ah, now I get it, so additional malus reductions for store purchase and bought bundle must have just run out after the previous wins so they're no longer listed in the calculation?
And here I am.. Unable to even get a second key from lag xD

But something is odd.. For example I can pick even 50+ branches in 60 seconds but on 53 seconds it barely goes 38/39.. It feels totally different. Same "time logic" problem and on other challenges..

The clock runs faster the more keys you win. So you are punished twice (malus + faster clock). Has been this way since the holidays. It seems intentional at this point which is baffling. It's a very underhanded and unprofessional way to decrease wins.

About 2-3 days ago they made the clock run even faster after 1 win so the 2nd win became even harder to get.

It's not 10 copies of that game, it is 10 other games, examples in my post above.
I see. But the games from the random list doesn't seem overly enticing though

I agree. Most of the games are not that great for me. The last game I thought was good at Hitsquadgodfather was Encodya. And that game has been on the list for a few weeks now. 🐧
Makes me wonder though there are like over 1k viewers at any given time on that stream but the claims are at the lowest that games are sitting on the list for days or even weeks. Makes me wonder if the claims are low why the viewership is still at this over 1k count? :unsure:

This is sg showing a shit face.. Nothing more
Steamgifts is starting to be a rich boi's playground where only those who spent good money will be rewarded for. Those games gotten with efforts are only to be burned on the stake. Sad for us but nothing much we can do :cry:

I noticed that too.. I start out with chopping and after that it is sickling which was doable days back at 5 malus. About 2-3 days back I wasn't even able to win at 5 malus on that. But fortunately hoeing is still winnable at 15 malus (for now) 😅

Probably mostly botters gathering coins for the few games that are worth something. (Those start at 20k or higher nowadays.) It's a self-reinforcing cycle. Because of the multiaccounters ad revenue is low, prices are jacked up, which makes it even less worth to idle/watch the stream for normal people.

But what I don't understand is multies should be raking up those points but not claiming games? Then what are they trying to do? :ROFLMAO:

I didn't calculate it but if they are going for a say 55k coin game it takes quite a lot of time to get there. Week+ maybe? And I have seen some games disappear from the list. Though I barely visit nowadays, it's absolutely not worth it for me. I just check back from time to time to see whether there's something I could spend my remaining 10k coins on.

I agree that it's really not worth the time spent there much anymore. But I also farm drops from twitch (for reasons I am not sure of, greed maybe? :ROFLMAO:) so I tend to open another tab for hitsquad but I don't have much of anything to redeem as the games nowadays are not really good. 🙃

They are just waiting for a "good" game. For example it had dishonored full at some point for 60.000... (tbh I do the same on my acc.. I'm close to 120k points but it has nothing worth spending over.. And the one I liked (5k) ended in the flash of an eye xD )

As for sg.. It's not the rich boy mentality that's annoying.. It's the "lottery trading masked as giveaways/groups".. And the unfairness.. (of staff/people)

Stick to groups and invite-only giveaways, but not to leveling. Level 2-3 is enough. Leveling up is long and boring (and sometimes painful due retroactive punishments for nothing), but the chances increase very little (ok, you can get some respect as an extra) but get access to an invite-only giveaways with 10-20 participants just for playing some of your previous wins or games with a settled theme... isn't that good enough?

I calculated it once: you get 10 points every 5 minutes, plus 50 points every 20 minutes if you actively click the gifts that appear. If you click gifts half the time (sometimes you are sleeping etc.), that's 195 points per hour. Even if you keep the stream open 24h every day, it takes 11.75 days to get 55000 points.

I also missed out on DARK MINUTE: Kira's Adventure which is a game I really would like to have. Those new release games are pretty much free for all to grab at 5k points be it the normal user, the subscribers or even a mod it seems. And the new game addition seem to come at a time where I am pretty much off for the day 🙃

120k points is a big load. I have been pretty much thinking that I might just be grabbing the games from the grey market since that is what streamer probably does as well and to rake up the points to claim a game my electricity cost might be more than the base cost of the game itself. Like now Elderborn is at 55k points and on the grey market it goes for about 70 cents USD. Even one farm 24/7 (and grab every 50 point bonus) it would take 172 hours (320 points per hour), 1 full week.

Electricity probably cost so much more than 70 cents for the week. I would probably be paying like $10 extra for those 55k points. That is given that I idle my com for like 8-10 hours or so per day for a week (to make a 24/7).. $10 saved means I can probably grab a higher tier game (like the Tales series or even Visage) from the grey market. Or even a good bundle off humblebundle or even fanatical.

And to be brutally honest stream is getting boring.. I mean this streamer also does 24/7s but at least there are contents to watch and drops to grab (although not his own content but still.. And yes most of the time there is only a chair for the streamer's view) 🤣

I really like the idea of playing your wins and/or even just play games from your existing library (never like to just be collecting my games, I find it pointless) but I am not able to do so for now. I mean even trying to play valorant crashes my pc after 10-15 minutes of play (that proves how potato it truly is). The best I can do is probably games like Deadly 30? 🤪

Even for trades I have gotten some really nice games but they are just dust collectors. I will definitely be playing my games and trying to join groups like playing appreciated once an upgrade comes (hoping for the best) 🙏:LOL:

To me, with average use (just keeping it open 24/7 and clicking whenever I remember it (not even 1/3 of the possible times.. max 10 clicks a day), has taken about.. 1 month or so for those 120k points

So your math (while I'm bored to calculate atm) sound just right

I don't value the same costs as the pc stays on 24/7 regardless (I'm a lazy cat xD )
But unless I see something worth grabbing.. Elderborn for 55k is a joke xD
