myconv: If the point of giveawaysis to bring the joys of gaming, this argument makes no sense. Generally gamers don't care about the rarity of digital copies of games but of how fun the game would be for them, which again is presumably the point of a game Giveaway.
Like I said, and you apparently cannot fathom, both the pleasure in adding to a collection AND the pleasure of playing can be had simultaneously. You seem to think we don't enjoy playing the games we collect. And if the only way we can afford to complete our
GOG game collection is thanks to the kindness of others, then we appreciate it all the more to have it. To play,
and to enjoy looking at the neat little soldiers in a row on the shelf. Double the pleasure is obtained from the generous donation (and the efforts of the host).
Steam doesn't come into it for a lot of us because a game library for some of us is narrowly defined to
one single platform. And our preference in playing games is narrowly defined to the
GOG platform. Which is why we are here. Some of us don't want an account or collection on the
Steaming pile of DRM. Or a collection across multiple platforms. Thusly, we often consider that a delisting here is the game gone from our lives, because we choose not to own it on other platforms. We desire it
here. And we enjoy playing it
here. Hence, it's bringing the joy of gaming
on this platform, whilst potentially also bringing us the joy of completing a set
on this platform.
And I must say your habit of criticizing the hosts of giveaways on this forum is legendary, mate.
