Momo1991: the pantheon will be entered for Novotnus's booby prize (that is not a picture of any body part belonging to me - in your dreams, sukas!)
Is it a picture of a body part belonging to Nov? That'll do nicely. : )

Here's a link for one of my GA:

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/blues_1st_giveaway_8_games_2013_4_28

And I'm entering for SS2 or Wiz 8. If I don't win anything, can I get a hug from you Momo? That way I'll still win. : )

So, apparently competition among giveaways have become so fierce that they're starting to personally invite people to enter. Most markets thrive when demand is slightly higher than supply, as the prices for the services and goods offered can rise slightly while the customers still feel they're getting their money's and time's worth.

Have the giveaway market become so saturated that too few people even bother to enter to see what's being offered, much less pay the price (take the time to type "I'm in") to get in on the offer?

I certainly hope not, as that would not offer much room at all for competition or game-like giveaways (the cost of entering being much higher), but perhaps the market needs to implode under its own weight before it can rise up again like a Phoenix.

It was quite surreal getting the message "I'd be honored if you'd enter my GA", and that's what promted me to type this. Sadly, I don't have much to offer in the way of increased demand, I'm quite sure I already have all GOGs offered, I'd rather not add games I'm not very certain I'll play to my Steam account (preferably I'd add none at all and delete the thing, but some games I want to play have no other option), and I have yet to create an account at Desura.

Nice analysis of this monstrous giveaway from an economics view point. +1 to you for a very educational post!

~laughs~ Um, a simple thank you for your kindness would suffice along with a "Not in" ;-p

But all in all, an interesting bit of commentary - thanks for sharing!

Maighstir: ...
Hehe!

"Oh look. A GA for a game I really want. And nobody's entered! And it ends in five minutes!!

OPEN REPLY

Lesse. Just type "I", "'", "m", then "<space>". Now all that's left is... phew, that was more exhausting than I thought. Seven whole characters is more than I can handle at one time! I think I need a nap.

CLOSE REPLY

Meanwhile, in gifter's head:

"Damn, I can't believe not a single person entered my GA. Maybe if I start paying people to accept my free games..."

Okay, I won't tell you. : P

Nor will I tell you that they're dark chocolate. With chocolate chips.

What a shame, there's nobody here. Guess I'll have to eat them, hot from the oven, all by myself. : (

Oh look, a full gallon of milk in the fridge, too.

Can I enter for wizardry 8?

Rescinding my entry -

I'm not in for the giveaway this time around, due to a kind soul allowing me access to a game I'd like. :D
