I came here to report about what happening on the website.
first the new look doesn't show you the silver coins you have
second the giveaway system has a lot of glitches including post posts about games where blocked in the game as I tried
I will wait to accept one of them and see if the website will gave me the points of the game
third also about the glitches
before that you were not able to make giveaways about the same game more than three times but now I can make even 100 of the same game
and that will make the websit

A tonne of Super Inefficient Golf keys, currently free on Alienwarearena. -.-


Beta keys should not be given away, only full licenses.

1. Which rule break the key from gifts on other sites? I just don't understand and I haven't seen any rule of this kind. I was too late to grab a key from Alienwarearena and here I had another chance to win one (not SIG key but one of prior). What's the problem?

2. I'm not interested in any beta key, but again: "Which rules are they breaking?" I think that beta keys giveaways should inform that they are keys for beta and in my opinion it should inform about time when beta is active and whether it give some profits (and what exactly) for full release or not.
I understand any objections if we are talking about a closed beta when developer sends the keys to a closed group of users but if it is send to random or who has asked I don't see any problem.

I agree with your first point. I also missed out on the Alienware Arena giveaway but would like a second chance to get a key. It seems like a win-win situation making it a giveaway.

Your second point, I believe BETA keys are temporary (don't quote me on that) and a good amount of the time (in my experience), the games become free-to-play in the end.

1. It's not a real problem for me, when people want to giveaway keys from other sites (for example, Alienware). But many of them using multiaccounts, and this is not good. They can take all the keys before you can do it, and then use it for create many giveaways, leve up and more. Is it fair?
2. Many became "beta-testers" and the developers gave them these keys. I don't think you should give someone these keys if you become a tester or, please, don't sign up on for beta-testing.
I think in both situations, for example, we could create GA with such keys, but there will be no poits for account.

First of all, don't forget that people often don't read description. They look on the title and pictures of GA. Secondly, if we've the rules - this is for everyone. One GA don't break it? OK, everyone can create the same.

Honestly, I don't mind BETA key giveaways, but I wish there would be a way to clearly include or exclude BETA giveaways.
Perhaps a flag in the giveaway offering page to indicate clearly it's a BETA.

I personally don't mind if BETA keys are given, but I've received a few in the past where they are NOT labeled as a BETA and I made sure to thumbs down on those giveaways cause it's just a cheat of the system.

Are these keys for a free game? Or maybe something else? For example, prime or packs?
