finkleroy: The keys that are currently available in this giveaway were donated to be given out to active members of the GOG community, so I will be keeping this thread open and granting keys until all of the non-daggered keys are granted, and the two freebie keys for Thea 2: The Shattering are either granted or expire. Once they're all gone, I'll have a moderator lock this thread. In the meantime, if anyone donates GOG keys, they'll be put into the giveaway on the Discord server, and I'll inform them of that when I receive them. The remaining daggered keys will be added to the giveaway on Discord. If you donated any of those daggered keys and would like them back, please let me know and I'll transfer them back to you.
Are you going to have similar monthly limits in the Discord giveaway as you had here, and will you count requests here onto those limits or start over?

If you will start fresh, so that requests here are not counted, then I would like to ask for Whispering Willows from the remaining keys here.

BrianSim: Well Twitter isn't new either yet many of us don't have a twitter account (nor want one). I mean if there's 300 million registered ( but 150 million active) Discord users yet also around 2.5bn-3bn gamers worldwide, then +90-95% of gamers don't use Discord. It primarily seems "everyone uses it" because people who use it are more visible (streamers, online gamers, etc) get all the media / social media attention whilst those who don't generally don't randomly post "Today I'm announcing that I'm a non Discord user. That is all" in forums. In the gaming world, there's often a lot of selection bias involved with "every gamer uses x". Eg, just picking one game, if there's 300m Fortnite users but only 150m active Discord users then half of all gamers of the single most popular online multi-player game on the planet don't use it, it just the half that do that get the attention for being where all the streamers, gaming press, etc, is focused on.
The fact that so far, 0% of the people who have a problem with the giveaways have posted about it in the Non-GOG thread indicates that a very small percentage of gamers refuse to use it, and they all seem to only want GOG games.

Well I was initially going to post there but all the debate was happening here and I didn't want to double / cross post. Makes no sense posting everything twice.

This giveaway will continue as normal until all the non-daggered keys are gone and I have a mod lock the thread. The Discord server will only have one giveaway, which will be the Non-GOG giveaway, only I'll also accept new GOG keys for it. The limits will remain the same.

That's a fair point. Still, it seems that everyone I see who's refusing to join us on Discord only takes part in the GOG giveaway.

Will you have similar request limits in Discord as here, and will you count requests here towards those limits?

If you will start fresh so that requests here are not counted, then I would like to ask for Whispering Willows from the remaining keys.

finkleroy: I get that. That said, this giveaway will be no more, and the other giveaway will have GOG keys in it, so it won't be strictly a GOG giveaway. And it won't be a GOG community giveaway, either. Everyone who's a part of it will be from the GOG community originally, but it won't be for active members of the GOG community. I've already invited quite a few people, and we've been having a great time chatting for hours. The atmosphere is quite pleasant. I'll be sad to see this giveaway end, but this was definitely the right call.

finkleroy: Every person who's a member of the Discord server is someone who was already eligible for and participating in one or both of the giveaways on the GOG forum. I have no plans to allow anyone new to join, though we'll talk about it after the dust settles.
So I understand it correctly it's suppose to be closed circle of people which are "eligible" by today standards, gifting games to each other (or small percentage gifting to the rest) with no way to join in future?

+1.
Will the requests for this month on GOG carry over to the Discord limit?

That's the current plan, but we'll all have a chat about allowing new people to join and what the criteria should be once we've settled in.

Yes.

finkleroy: FOR VARIOUS REASONS, I'M MOVING BOTH GIVEAWAYS TO DISCORD. I'M BEGINNING THE PROCESS NOW. PLEASE MESSAGE ME TO GET AN INVITE CODE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO REQUEST GAMES ON THE GOG FORUM UNTIL I ANNOUNCE THAT THE TRANSITION PROCESS IS COMPLETE. I WOULD MUCH RATHER EXPLAIN WHY I'VE MADE THIS CHOICE ON DISCORD THAN GOG. PLEASE DO NOT ASK HERE. PLEASE SET YOUR DISCORD NAME TO YOUR CURRENT GOG NAME FOR THE DISCORD SERVER. YOU CAN SET IT TO WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR WHATEVER SERVER YOU WANT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE ACCOMPLISHING THIS.
I can't but thank you (along with zeogold, moonshineshadow and IAmSinistar) for all the great work you've done over all this time.

However, I don't use discord so I won't be joining on this new stage.
May i have Whispering Willows and / or My Brother Rabbit ?

finkleroy:
Thanks for keeping this incarnation of the giveaway alive for so long.
Could I ask for My Brother Rabbit?
May i please request Wanderlust: Transsiberian?

Cancel that request for Wanderlust: Transiberian. Turns out it is somehow in my library . haha
It was from a GOG promo giveaway and I forgot all about it.
Sorry for the spam.
