scriptbr: I never said anything like that, and I wasn't referring to anyone in particular in my post.
If I thought you was evil or something, I wouldn't have gifted you a game now, would I? I have no problems with the principle of trading, I just don't like people trading gifts I give. I would rather it go to someone who actually wants it. If there was nothing interesting in this sale to you, you could have just waited for a sale for a game you actually wanted, like I said you could do.
gameon: Its the way you went about it. You offered me a game (because you won a game from me in a competition). You said pick any game from this promo, or one future promo game. I then said, thanks i'll have nox. I also thought i'd show gratitude and reward you for your generosity with the humble bundle android bundle 1 and 2. (which you later said was "bought for less than $1 each").
So anyway, i had the code for nox, and bought a few other items to trade. I managed to find darknath who was very nice and agreed to trade my items for one game that i requested.
Unfortunately scriptbr reckoned i "betrayed him" for trading a code, and redeemed nox himself......meaning i looked like a fool for not keeping my end of the bargain with darknath. Scriptbr also acted like he was some sort of close friend or something, I dont know scriptbr, so what is he doing this for?
And so scriptbr got even more free stuff from me for nothing, and caused me grief also. Thanks for that......!
Oh man, here we go again. First of all, here's my
exact reply, to people that reading this (I had no idea he had traded the game already):
"gameon, I saw that you didn't redeem the game and was trying to trade it away. I thought you actually wanted to play it! It wasn't supposed so you could just use it in as a trading offer. I feel like you took advantage of me. Because of that, I decided to redeem the gift for myself. Maybe in the future I'll gift you something else - something you actually want to play." And then you said:
[i]"i thought you wanted to give me something back for giving you something.
I always let people have things to trade, and YOU could have traded your code.
The only person betrayed here is me, because you had those codes from the humble bundle from me.
You have seriously annoyed me over this. Thanks for nothing." [/i]
And then I said:
[i] "The humble bundles you payed less than $1 for? If you wish I can give you this one and the next, but I won't pay more than one dollar for them.
I was annoyed too, because I thought people gifted here because they actually wanted to play games, and not just trade them. Yes, I wanted to give you something back for giving something, but in a "I want to give you a game you'll enjoy" and not in a "I want to give you three dollars so you can use it for whatever".
I guess I should have communicated better with you. Maybe redeeming it wasn't the best thing I could do, but waking up and seeing that really didn't make me happy." [/i]
gameon:
[i] "I got those bundle as part of a trade with someone else anyway. I have traded things of different value with people.
Plus read this:
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/win_a_prize_world_cup/page1 See i said people can do what they like with them?
If you'd have let me know "i have to redeem it" i would have done. But you just said "would you like a promo game". Sure i picked one because i wanted to use it towards a game.
I'm sorry if i upset you because of this misunderstanding. But you have made me look like a fool to the person i dealt with. That didnt make me happy.
Perhaps its a language barrier or something. Again if you'd have said i had to claim it, i would have done. But its too late now. Lets just agree to disagree, and move on. Theres nothing more to say." [/i]
Then me:
"Okay, thinking back maybe I shouldn't have redeemed it. It goes against my idea of gifting, though, since gifting, donating and trading are all different things to me. I'm sorry that I made you look like a fool, I send the message right away after redeeming it, and you wasn't the only upset. But I agree that we should not stir things up more and just move on." So, why am I quoting our conversation? First, because you brought this for public eyes for whatever reason and now people need to know exactly what happened so they don't interpret things differently. Second, because I already said my answer to many of your inquires.
I wasn't expecting you to give me the humble bundles, but I appreciated it, sure. But the truth is, you payed less than 1 dollar for them. I won't make assumptions, but it's possible you could have payed as low as 1 cent for each. So I don't know exactly what you are complaining. Like I already said, I can give you the next 2 humble bundles if you wish, but I won't pay more than you payed for them.
I was upset when I saw you posting on the classifieds thread, yes, because of everything I already said. I had
problems when gifting games before, and no, I don't appreciate these kind of things.
I didn't act like a close friend and I don't know why you are saying that. Should I not act friendly, then? Maybe it's true what they say, people in Britain are more cold. Nevertheless, I just wanted to gift you something for having gifting me.
To end this, I already said I was sorry that I made you "look like a fool". It's was bad timing, unfortunately. And I'm not 100% sure I should have redeemed it. Still, I'm fed up of people disregarding the gifts they receive. Maybe I simply should stop gifting.
