The list contains four keys that I offered 7-10 days ago and that didn't generate any interest. Should I remove them to make the list shorter? I wouldn't mind leaving them here, but since apparantly noone wants them and people are complaining about the list getting too long, feel free to throw them out ... (In case it matters, I didn't take anything for them in return.)

The games in question are: Dark Scavenger, Redshirt, Soulcaster 1&2, Will Fight for Food.

i think it will run eventually into more of this, that there will be a list of games that people not so much want.
Maybe people can agree if that happens that there will be a giveaway done with those leftover keys.

For your case it's different as you didn't take anything.

Up to you :] If it's after five days, then no worries, do as you like.

I agree.
And what is to prevent someone to re-offer their game over and over if it is unwated or everyone all ready owns it, sort of deal?


I say if someone doesn't want to bother holding onto a game they offer at a later date, to pm it to a trusted regular of this thread to give out on their behalf.

I'll put up Aveyond: Lord of Twilight (Steam) for Redshirt (Steam). That is if you want love for one of your games.

PM sent.

Seriously, gbaz, give it a rest - so keys should be PM'd or put in a GA? How complicated should this get? And who should hold onto these "extra, un-wanted gifts"? You? Cmdr_flasheart? And don't even look at me ....

Can we just deal with any theoretical scammers if and when they show up and start gifting the same unwanted code over and over again?

Here's my thought KISS - keep it simple ;-p

I really like the idea of this thread, but I feel like it has kind of become a steam code trading post. I was excited for this because it can be hard to find trades for GOG codes, and that is my preferred service. I put forward a GOG game and I am looking for a GOG game. I think if no GOG games show up in the next couple of days I will pretty much abandon this thread.

Just my two cents and experience here. For what it is worth.

Aveyond: Lord of Twilight (Steam) is up for trade. Thank you Leroux!

I keep telling myself not to worry.. and that I like this thread all ready how it is.
Thanks for the "kiss" tip, should help me more in the future and make life more pleasant.

Wrong, even without any theoretical scammers you still end up with a list of keys noone wants.
I put in games that i thought someone would have wanted, not something someone didn't want, but noone claimed them so far. Also alot of keys put on offer are "cheaper" games often from bundles, with that makes it alot of people already have them. Some might do it on purpose, but some might as well have the best intentions, also define something unwanted upfront.
It's just not that simple, putting them in a giveaway and least you gave the keys away, and it complies with taking some and giving some.

I think everything is working nice, but I'm going to ask just one thing though, to the people updating the list:

Please wait until the person have received what they "took" before updating/adding to the list what they offered in return.

I'm saying this because my last offered/replacing game was already added to the list twice, even when I haven't received an answer yet from the person I was "taking" the game from.

Thanks.

Well, there's a reason why GOG codes are harder to come by than Steam codes. And you probably shouldn't have offered something here with the hope of getting something of equal worth in return, as this was conceived as a giveaway with a twist and not as a trading thread (for which Classifieds is better suited). Granted, the lines are somewhat blurry, but still. The idea is not to expect something for what you give away, but to pay it forward and give away something for what you generously receive. Since you didn't take anything yet, I think it would be perfectly fair for you to withdraw your GOG game again, in case you regret offering it.

To be fair, Celton88 is also talking about Witcher codes. I couldn't give a code away in February and have failed to give one away in my current giveaway. I doubt anyone will give a GoG game in return for that. Not only has that game been given out for free, it has also been heavily discounted many times in the past. It's value really is about equivalent to a cheap bundle gift.
