The rules state that it must be a decent review, which I would interpret as not being a one-liner.

The rules also state that it must not be a copy of another review from elsewhere. Not sure how they check up on this though. Suppose it depends on how much time they are willing to go searching for existing reviews.

I still don't receive e-mail with code.Checking my mailbox and spam folder every day. No response for my emails from GOG too...

Does anyone who won review contest last saturday received email with code for game? I don't have mine yet, no answer from GOG to my emails and don't know what to think about that. They have free good reviews and not giving anything for win, just empty promises...

Trust me, you'll get the code. It might have been delayed due to the fact the staff don't work on weekends. I've been here for a while and I have seen all the winners of the review contest receive their winnings.

@Astrozombie, Vagabond
See my take on the review question in post #68 here... Indeed, it's a bit disappointing they choose randomly, but I guess they don't have the capacity to read through every review (especially since it's on the weekend...)
@drmlessgames
If everyone took your advice, and entered this way only for a chance for a freebie, that would lower everyone's chance to <1%.
Anyway, writing reviews is good, even if you don't win with them. What I miss is a notification on the main site of the latest reviews, which can get overlooked easily.

OMG!!!!
I WON
I WON
FIRST TIME ROUND!!!
I WON!!!!
Surprisingly, I won despite the fact that my review was the only one with no users who had agreed with it!
However, I did write a long review

Congrats!
(BTW, it doesn't seem to matter how many people agree with your review or how long it is... As it seems, it's a random draw.)
Oh, and I like your review; it's pretty good. It probably didn't get any approvals 'cause people usually only look at the first three reviews. This way, newer reviews are easily overlooked. That's something I hope the staff will eventually improve.

Thanks

Just the same here, sometimes lucks makes your day for non-interested efforts. :)

Does it take a while to send out the codes?
I Don't mind at all, i'm just wondering

Yes, the codes are sometimes a little delayed. I'm quite sure you'll get yours before next Saturday.

Thanks

Easiest fix would be to display newest reviews first. I'm surprised it isn't that way, actually.

Firek just want to bring your attention to this thread

Don't think it would be fair if that guy was put into the random draw and won.

Parts of the winning Ground Control review were also lifted from...

...Check that third paragraph!
Ah, well. Maybe next time!
