Why is #4 so damn popular?

On multi giveaways like that, I never get the first or the last, with the reasoning that those will be the most popular ones. I, then, grab one randomly from the middle.

This time, it was the most popular one. Also, I won! Yay! Thanks for pigeons!

FUCK YES. Finally Unepic has a great deal, and what a deal it is!!! Picked up FTL, Volgarr, and AVGN as well.
 
I didn't expect 4 people to be ineligible for the giveaway when I entered after the raffle ended.

I don't think that's what happened (I don't think ineligible entries are counted?). I've also entered giveaways after the time has ended and won (happens often actually) even when other people have entered. I think ModBot's random draw system might be buggy. Also whenever I enter for 2 unclaimed after a giveaway has ended I always win the second one, as if Modbot processes entries in a Last-In-First-Out manner, instead of First In First Out.

I noticed that's always the case with these mulitcopy giveaways... it's people trying to be smart and guessing which one is likely to have the least amount of entries and going for it, but ironically it ends up being the most popular.

Yeah, it's interesting to see it afterwards.

This one was also funny, from a giveaway by DocSeuss.
(I keep a link to giveaways I won - not that I win a lot - so that's why I could find it fast.)

Nearly triple the amount in the first shown Sniper Elite 3 entry.
But it's actually the second entry for ModBot since it shows "(2)". And it doesn't have the special icon so I assume most people thought others would pick the one with the special icon.

I feel really dumb trying to copy a modbot code from a picture lol.

People think the first one is never it, and that others will pick the last one, so they pick the ones before.
And yet the second and third entries are low too. Somehow everyone pummeled the fourth.

I can't wait for the reactions once people put some time into it.
Hehe :D

Probably some lurkers that thought they got lucky.

Very weird to see a PC gaming site choose that game for that title. They messed up the PC version from controls to UI. It's all designed for a gamepad with almost no attention at all paid to KB+mouse users. And don't even get me started on the combat and "tactical view".

I'm very into Dragon Age lore, bought all the novels etc. and the story/world are the things that keep me going in DA:I, the actual gameplay/combat is even worse than in DA2. Unless, of course, you are playing with a damn gamepad but even then, it's an action game.

Bleh, I give up on Lords of Shadow 2. The present day parts don't interest me at all, and I don't want to push through them to get to the castle bits.
 
After finally getting around to some of the more lauded games of the year, it's looking more possible that Kentucky Route Zero Act III will be my GOTY.

Unless DA:Inquistion takes some wild turn towards dada, that is.

Nice :p.

Now I got Winter In Fairbrook and Boson X for a great price :D. Too bad I missed the Monday bundle with Summer In Fairbrook :/.
