lugum: Guilty until proven otherwise? If you start to accuse someone you should come with the evidence on how many games he received according to you and if he indeed gave away games from others that he not mentioned, now you are just reversing things.
Secondly again like other stuff you are meddling with, its not yours to decide what anyone does with a game or when, even if he plays one next year, so what?
It's really suspicious how you targeting and picking on specific people here on the forum, and how it all falls down in sync with the downrep business going on here.
Get your proof or stop going offtopic with wild accusations on threads.
The evidence is in all the giveaway threads and gifting threads and pretty much anywhere you guys comment and ask for games, doesn't specifically have to be in a gifting thread. I'm not gonna go back thru 3 months or a year of forum posts to link you to these things. Thats for you guys who seem to have all kinds of time to do. But anyone, like myself, who browses here even once a day or a couple times a week, can easily see the rampant greed that has permeated these forums in the last year. When new people come in and see the old-timers behaving that way, it just keeps manifesting more and more. Again, as i've said over and over, rep has nothing to do with the greed. Some high rep people are as greedy, if not worse than new people with low rep. I'm sorry you feel I'm picking on you. Stop being so greedy and maybe you won't feel that way anymore.
My accusations are not invalid or wild - as evidenced by your downrepping theory. I'm flattered you think I'm capable of targeting people on my own but I assure you there are others who see what I see and they act accordingly when the same people show the same greedy behavior over and over again. Believe me, I don't have the time or inclination to babysit this forum and uprep/downrep posts 24 hours a day. Heck, if I had that kind of time, I'd do what you and others like you do and join the club that grifts for free games all the time. People are tired with this behavior and while I may be the most vocal one, others do make a post or two every now and then. The shady, tacky and greedy behavior is what brings about the downrepping, not me picking on you so please don't play the victim here.
And obviously its not upto me to decide what anyone does with a game, whether it be giving it or taking it. I would never do that. But I'm allowed to bring to light the crappy behavior some of you engage in to get your free games from generous folks who provide you this luxury. Are you telling me its perfectly fine to join in on a giveaway with the sole intention of regifting that game or trading it for something else and taking that chance away from someone who actually wants it? Or its right to open a thread to ask for people to throw games at you because its your birthday or some other reason, especially after you've already been gifted a bunch of high quality games in the recent past? These things don't go by unnoticed you know.
Do you remember when GOG was having those contests with their 5 year anniversary and you were pm'ing myself and others to get the answers when we would post that we solved a particular contest. You definitely pm'd me and I am most confident you pm'd others - just don't know how many others. That right there is when I started to notice you and your incredible greed. How desperate you must be for free games, as if that and this website is the only thing you have going on in your life. Low blow I admit but dude, the way you carry yourself on these forums to get more and more free games is really unbelievable.
I've seen people enter giveaways who are rarely seen on these forums and try to win a game that they really want. But their entries are washed out by those people who enter for each other and enter for everything no matter what the game is as long as its a game they don't have so they can add +1 to their collection. It'd be great if people like you were capable of sharing with the rest of the community instead of the same people taking home the majority of free games that are offered in the ninja thread or in the giveaway threads. But no, thats still not enough - they still have to go into the gifting threads and beg for more games because its one you "really wanted", or "my bank is being stupid", etc etc. These things are definitely noticed when it happens as frequently as it does.
Sorry for the wall of text to those this doesn't affect. +1 to those who have gifted recently and also to those who haven't become jaded yet witnessing some of this stuff.
