[This is a sticky post, it will be visible in every single page of this thread. It has been published in October 2020.]

Our moderation team decided not to take a side in the discussion since this giveaway thread was created by the community and, as long as there are no forum rules violated, is up to you, dear Gogers, to decide its fate. We will not set giveaway rules, edit the OP's post, nor lock the whole thread.

However, to make it easier for newcomers to understand the situation (about the OP being inactive and other), I will stick my own post right above the first one.

You are, of course, free to create new threads to start anew and make your own, clear rules. At the same time, please stay reasonable when crating them, as multiple new duplicates might make it even more confusing for many Gogers.

That being said, here you can find a post with dxenija's community poll to have better understanding of the situation: CLICK.

At the time of writing, open giveaway threads are:
- Massive Giveaways Blog
- Free (temporary) keys giveaway central topic. (this one)
- Updated Itch.io giveaways

Be nice to each other *flies away*

Having a lot of problems trying to login to square-enix.com. Maybe too many people trying to get the game at the same time

muntdefems: Well, seeing that their own words aren't enough to convince you I don't expect to do it myself, but just two points:

1) Allocating part of your profit to charity (and getting some not incosiderable tax deductions as a result, by the way) is not the same as being a non-profit organization.

2) Charity aspect notwithstanding, many other online stores offer deals at least as good as those you mention, so I'm not sure what's your point there... Is e.g. Fanatical a non-profit organization too in your opinion?

finkleroy: It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't understand this business model. I have no idea who Fanatical is, and the only reason I heard about Humble Bundle is because I backed a Kickstarter project, and the developer/publisher (Red Thread Games) gave me access to the game and its extras (Dreamfall Chapters) on Humble Bundle, and the only reason I heard of GOG is because they also gave me a GOG key for the game. Yes, I'd been living under a rock for the previous six years. I don't understand how there could not be a massive loss, let alone any profit at all, on selling $200 worth of games for $12, even if every game is extremely heavily discounted. Assuming that the publishers and Humble Bundle make enough off of the sale to keep the lights on, how is there any money at all left? The Monthly Bundle surely heavily eats into the would-be profits that would have been made on sales of the individual games if they hadn't been in the bundle.
Wikipedia has all the answers about the idea and the origiin of humble:

BlueMooner: My understanding of how Fanatical offers low prices is a legal loophole: they buy deeply discounted keys meant for very poor countries, and then turn around and sell them to rich countries.
If you look through their store you will see that most of their games are not really that cheap. Those that are simply are also in most cases already pretty old. Then there are several games that are on sale only for a pretty limited time (which is the same thing GOG does to offer an incentive to buy). There is no need to break regional barrier (like illegal key shops such as G2A are doing) ti make some money with digital keys. It all depends on the publisher and the contracts. Since those keys are all steam keys they even could not sell those keys from poor countries to cheap countries since they are mostly region locked by steam. You might have confused illegal key resellers like G2A, Kinguin ect. with legal ones.

Plus, the charity aspect boosted their image and business, and is still a very appealing factor in people's decision to shop there.

One of the best games EVAR! It's a bloody shame those dickheads from Squeenix probably will never release it here (despite it being DRM-free on Steam already).

evilnancyreagan: When Humble (and other folks as well) do giveaways, tons of the claimed keys go un-redeemed, they just float in limbo for eternity. My guess is that they hope to 'recycle' some of those keys or at the very least light a fire under peoples's asses to get those keys redeemed.
avatar
finkleroy: Well, the keys never expire, so I don't think they can be "recycled", so I assume they made some deal with the publishers to remove the keys from everyone's account after a certain amount of time. If this results in publishers giving away more keys, I'm all for it. All we have to do is inform everyone to copy and paste the keys into a text file or redeem or donate them right away.
'Recycle' as in re-distribute un-redeemed keys, say in a future give-away or such.

Possibly. As I said, it's my understanding that's how F works, but I readily admit I could be wrong.
