The backlash would've been the same either way. You don't trade away gifted games because you only enter if you were interested in the first place.
Cargo Commander is fantastic.

PMed you.
Also, Tales from Space is getting Cards soon.
So buy it now for 2 bucks, and it will probably pay for itself.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Some people have no dignity.I thought that Rogue Legacy thing (winning it and then trading it for Rage) was a joke, but now I read some pages back, and it actually happened.
wow..
It's a gift.
Yup. Waves, Nation Red and Geometry Wars for your twin stick shooter needs on Steam.

What if it had been Dragon's Lair, though?
If you're hosting in USD i'll join. Will paypal as soon as you let me know.
Which, incidentally, will also be on Steam in the (hopefully) near future.
Postal.

I know right...the one game I've been trying to get this whole time and he gives it up for that. I guess it's the gift that keeps on giving though, cuz we're all feeling the RAGE now...
I can recommend Cargo Commander, very fun. I've also played the Journey Down but only for as long as it took me to realize "Oh, right, I really don't like point and click adventure games"

oh you
I didn't know that. Awesome!
Well... It's not bad per se, but it's something not bad rats for the 50 kazillionth time
I will be. If we can get a third I'll eat the cost on the extra copy and either try to fill it later or give it to a friend.
Going to be buying it from work, not really sure what the gifting interface is on the web client, so there's a chance I can't send until about 6 central time.
LAST MINUTE CHIVALRY 4 PACK
1 Archaix
2 kaleii
3 ???
4 YOU! REPLY NOW!
But he speaks the truth.
It popped up in the registry earlier in the year and the listing was quickly renamed to a ValveTestApp. I assume the PSN exclusivity period will be six months.
Honestly, it probably happens all the time.
The bigger issue is the javadots level of "bragging". Even if it was for something decent, keep that to yourself.
Perhaps he was crushed by the lack of Mickey Rourke
I've seen several people interested. And I'm in no rush, can't play it until later this week anyway

i don't deny that =)
But why such GAFfer would grab a game if he is not interested at all for it? I don't get it. It seems DukeBobby was being kind all over the place again like a great GAFfer he is and then instead of going for kindness he tries to profit from someone being generous? That's not right sir, I'm sorry but I don't believe that it's fair. It could have gone to a better Home, to someone who have been tempted to get the game or waiting for a deal. I saw many fellow GAFfers wanting that game, it could have gone to one of those people.
Some people...
Mannnn it won't take my card for some reason. Any idea why?

Drinkbox is awesome.
I'll probably triple dip on that. Such a great game.

the motherfucker just made the_monk type a sad face. GET HIM
Yes, I resisted. Didnt buy Tomb Raider!
I wanted it a lot, and I was pretty sure I would give up and buy it by today. lol But thinking about it, I am sure it will be even cheaper on the next sale so I guess I will wait, as painful as it is.
At the most it'll be like 3 bucks cheaper, why wait if you want to play it now?

I feel like I know about all the indie games I want and there's nothing left to buy. Sad feel...
I already have bad rats and it's self-inflicted lol (indiegala)

You could pick it up from Amazon with an extra 15% off (Gooncave) if you wanted.
Yes it would. Entering a giveaway for something you don't want, only to trade that for another thing, therefore preventing a GAFfer who actually wanted the game from getting it, and also posting about it here is despicable.
I think this warning should be added to every giveaway: If you don't want a game, don't enter the giveaway. If you enter anyway and win, then redeem the game on your Steam account and at least give it a fair try. And if you're an asshole after all and decide to give it away or trade it, DON'T FUCKING SAY SO HERE. You fool.

It's quite likely that the base price will have dropped by the time the Autumn/Winter Sale rolls around. Couple that with Squeenix's penchant for generous discounts and you have your wish.

Honestly I love square enix just because they keep giving me amazing games for dirt cheap. Actually, mediocre to amazing games for dirt cheap.

Maybe he wanted Bad Rats though
Bacause I still have some games on my backlog and even if I bought it now, it would have to wait... Probably not long enough to reach the date of the next sale, but still... I dont know. @_@ Stop making me think about my decision. ;-;
Yep, thats sort of what I thought. I feel better now.

maybe he really traded it for bad rats
Mengy
wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
It's not even the game he traded it for that bothers me, it's the fact that he entered a giveaway for a game that a lot of people really want, and he didn't even know what the game was about. He wasn't interested in it, it was just a free game to him. And when he did get it and then decided he didn't want it, he just traded it off instead of putting it back up for the rest of GAF to have a chance to get said free game.
IMHO, that goes against the entire idea of what Modbot and giveaways here are about. It's not fucking about getting as many free games as possible, it's about giving games to fellow NeoGAF members who will enjoy and appreciate said game. I haven't even tried to win most of the games people post up here with Modbot because A) I own it already, or B) I have no interest in it. I thought most of us were doing the same, I wonder how many other members like BHK3 are here just getting as many freebies as they can to either trade or sell away....

I completely lost my password (long story) and had to go through their support/submit various info like the last credit card used on the account and a CD key associated with it, as their reset system obviously asks you for your previous password first. I can understand it taking a while for an actual person to look into the matter, but I didn't think it would take more than two business days.
I didn't like the demo of Sugar Cube. It wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it.

He specifically mentioned that it didn't look interesting to him AFTER he entered & won. The prick didn't even know what the damn game was and entered, just to grab free stuff.
