3 hours! Let those

who won't win wallow in their misery for the least amount of time.

 

[Turfster]

3 hour raffle or 24 hour raffle?

15 minutes for the real pulse pounding excitement!
(3 is fine)

 

[Rhaknar]

3 hour raffle or 24 hour raffle?

15min, but I hate long raffles

 

[HalfwayOrb]

3 hour raffle or 24 hour raffle?

3!

 

[BinaryPork2737]

3 hour raffle or 24 hour raffle?

The 24 hour raffle lets more people register for the giveaway. It's the nicer option.

Just think of how many people missed out on the rest of today's giveaways.

 

[The_Monk]

Not sure if posted but for those that Pre-order GRID Autosport will receive DiRT Showdown.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

3 hour raffle or 24 hour raffle?

3 for sure

 

[Cloudius12]

Here's a few keys, thankfully Rhaknar has not worn out Modbot xxx

thanks

IMO, it depends on what you're giving away. Something new/expensive/really good (in other words, games that will be really sought after), go 24. But for cool little indie games or bundle leftovers, 3 seems better.

 

[Garcia]

Rhaknar, even though I didn't win any of your Raffles I just wanted to say: wow dude, one of the most generous giveaways I've seen recently!. Amazing, and congrats to all the winners.

bundle leftovers = 15 min if you're gonna do a raffle at all


I think 24 hour raffles are annoying cause you gotta keep bringin them up since the thread moves. 3 is fine.

even 15min is too long for most of the bundle fodder imo

 

[Trejik]

I find it amazing I entered for like 7 games and got none. I really wanted Civ V after missing it on Steam. I'll just pray for it in the summer sale.

 

[Darkroronoa]

And so ends my little pre-summer sale extravaganza. Hopefully 40 of you peeps got something you can enjoy from this. And with that, I leave you with the Final Giveaway



hot tag ruining jpgs makes me sad Passing the torch to Gaben now, merry Summer Sale in a few days.

Thanks for xcom Rhaknar! Thats a game i really really wanted to play

Have a nice summer ^^

24 hours gives all timezones a chance to win. It's 2 ± 1 AM in EU.
3 is fine is well but it depends on what the giver wants

well sure, not ruling them out just saying you gotta commit knowing that it's gonna be out of view after a while

I agree: 15 is best for those. But the poster was asking about 24 vs. 3.

Depends on what it is. There's always someone who wants one of those games. I was able to give away Alien Zombie Megadeath (really underrated and cool, BTW) and Galcon Fusion (no idea) today. I did a 15 minute giveaway for those. Company of Heroes II Multiplayer Access is still available. (But I honestly have no idea how that works, if it still works, or if you need the base game. I'm giving it away anyway, in the hopes that someone will know more and can use it.)

I wish someone would give away 8-Bit Commando. I still want to try it, even though the general consensus is that it's not very good.

 

[Rhaknar]

what did Zero end up deciding on anyway? if its Witcher I might as well go to bed

I don't know, for 24 hour raffles, you could always do what someone like X05 does and respond to a bunch of posts at once, and then at the very end just have a little blurb about the giveaway.

Generally I prefer:

15mins= a few leftover bundled games that very few people are interested in since a lot of people are buying it.
3 hours= use for a bigger giveaway, even if it's mainly bundled games.
24 hours= most games $15 or higher, or something you want to give to the community in particular so you leave more of a window for entry than usual. Or even a huge giveaway, like 100+ games, if most are at least decent.

Send a PM to ModBot titled "My Loot".

 

[Sajjaja]

Thanks for this awesome giveaway, and congratulations in advance to whomever wins.

Great giveaway.
I won't win, but great giveaway.

I want to see a full list of stuff I've won / I want to see a full list of stuff I've given away that has not been claimed
Send a PM to ModBot with the subject my loot--anything else you put in the subject line doesn't matter, anything you put in the body doesn't matter. Wait a few minutes (this is a low priority operation) and you'll receive a PM with a full inventory of everything you've won from ModBot as well as everything you've given away that is not claimed. If you haven't won anything and you have no unclaimed games, you won't receive a PM.

I would buy you a season pass if I won RE6 from your giveaway, but I didn't

But I guess anyone who has been here for more than a couple of months should be a mega giver by now.
