Makotolia: Thanks for the info. But, if it’s from a recent donation, then why the dagger...? Since the keys in the non-gog GA are divided into daggered and non-daggered ones even if some are actually keys for the same games, IIRC.
bler144: The dagger isn't just about the source (free keys!), but about lessened demand due to a flooded market.
If 90% of forum-goers already got a freebie or already owned it, and 9% don't want it for whatever reason, there's just likely to be fewer asks for it vs a comparable game, esp if it "costs" a month's participation to claim it.
Dagger keeps it from languishing.
That makes sense. It’s probably just this post below that makes me wonder if there’s some new policy recently:
ciemnogrodzianin: Okay. So I'd like to ask for Carmageddon: Max Damage, How to Survive 2, and Punch Club - Deluxe Edition.
However I'd also like to get Layers of Fear, and I see one is daggered. So I'm a bit confused there as I also see it's on the regular part of the list.
If it's daggered, great. If not, than replace Carmageddon with Layers of Fear.
zeogold: Some keys have ended up in both categories. Just be sure to indicate precisely what you'd like. I don't forsee a problem requesting the daggered Layers of Fear key.
This is from the new non-GOG GA (I hope it’s not offensive to quote this, and indeed, it’s the fact it refers to that matters here, rather than any opinion behind it), and the fact that
some keys have ended in both categories made me reconsider my understanding of the daggering policy.
