I am kind of new to the Neogaf family, but I believe what javadots is doing is deserving of a ban.

This thread is supposed to be for people excited about sales, and sharing all these great gifts and games with people.

Having a person get so many significant games, it's simply wrong.

To those that say I don't redeem. I redeemed the games that I kept, I gave half of my winnings away. I can't redeem Bad Rats because no network traffic can pass through at the moment. Alan Wake is part of a 'Humble Bundle' and I'd have to download it thought my torrent client, seeing how there are no Steam keys provided. The Infinite key I cannot redeem.

God no, please.

Far Cry 3 is not a good game. The world is filled with nothing! Random dogtags, random artifacts. Exploration is barely rewarded. I guess it might be a passable "open-area" shooter, but it utterly fails at creating an open world where you can actually do interesting stuff.

Dishonored is not a good game. The world is filled with easily defeated enemies that never present a challenge to your over-powered ninja. The stealth isn't encouraged at all, so eventually (unless you're really disciplined) you just end up slaughtering everyone you come across which starts out okay but then turns boring quickly. The problem is that there is almost zero penalty for being caught in the act of stealth because you are so overpowered. It takes all the tension out of the game.

Okay folks that's pretty much enough of the javadots thing. It's starting to drag on a little bit. Thanks. Use the blocklist if you want to if you're giving away. Put him on ignore as a poster as well if you want to. And javadots please stop gloating or fighting with people. Do whatever you want to do, but please don't escalate the argument over your presence.

I think it's funny he's winning the giveaways, I do think it's shitty he's not redeeming the games though. Oh well, blacklist from now on.

It is shitty but its not like the Modbot can't be configured to block him.

Part of modbot's existence was to eliminate key poaching like this, like what happened with a particular member named Sulc84 last month who had been stealing keys from dozens of communities including ours. He was called out for it and banned. I don't understand how or why this is particularly any different. I'm a little disturbed frankly that the official response thus far has just been to sweep him under the rug.

I get what you are saying but the thing is that this problem would have not been a problem if people would just configure the modbot to block him or block people that won for a week. He isnt being sneaky about it. He is clearly showing he is snatching up the keys. If the mods thing it is necessary, then just ban him and move on.

FC3 is an action oriented game. Dishonored is a stealth oriented game

Only 40% off Don't Starve? Maybe I'll just wait for the PS4 version. I'll probably pick up Dishonored instead if that ends up as the community winner.

PS: Great thread! You all should be proud of the community here.

Borderlands 2 fucking won? The thing has been massively discounted like 475 times in the past month.

I lost all faith in the steam community.

Both games are really excellent. haters gonna hate.

I certainly don't want to imply Far Cry 3 is bad, because I haven't played it. Was just trying to respond to the OP without going and digging for his post~

I will probably pick up FC3 (or just Blood Dragon) when they go on sale.
