Kakihara: Oh, I thought paypal you money or something. Because I keep getting the same 5 crap games.
Ah, don't worry about. Have it as a gift. Check your PMs and enjoy!
fronzelneekburm: Huh, that's odd. I was lucky enough to get both of those (without the added benefit of knowing how to know your random selection beforehand). Then again, I DID get that one rather nasty surprise of all four "Shooter"-games in one big, shitty $10 package. I guess the server leprechauns do take karma into consideration.
It would appear the system is more subtle and cunning, not to mention capricious, than it seems at first blush.
Starmaker: You can try asking someone who keeps rolling those two to make it a gift pack at checkout (possibly topped off with games you already have), then give the code to you to be partially redeemed. If they want Deponia and Memoria for themselves, they can hold the cart or the code and roll another pack and together you could figure out the optimal arrangement of extra games in both packs depending on what is wanted and owned.
S'okay, I'm not overly worried about those anyway. I was mostly trying to get Memoria "just because", rather than as something I am keen to play. And the Deponia series doesn't really interest me. It was more the gamer in me, trying to triumph over the automaton.
