People post Twitch Prime rewards and GoG discount codes. Yes they're not available to everyone but they're basically free.

Plus I clicked the Square Enix link and there was a queue. Since the giveaway is only for a few days it seems reasonable to give away a code if someone misses it.

Twitch prime codes are a bit different. Not everyone has prime, many people share prime, and some people may want multiple codes (me and my wife play Dauntless and a way to get a second code is nice).

I understand where you're coming from, but those giveaways in particular were done in a pretty suspicious/bad-faith way.

Why make four separate posts? (Imagine it had actually been a named user. Wouldn't that be a little strange?)
Why keep posting the giveaways in quick succession, without explanation, even when other users in the thread are saying "hey these are available free rn, this is kinda scummy"
Why not leave a note saying "jsyk, this is free on Steam/from S-E -- turns out I didn't need my keys so I'm giving them out"?

...What's funny is, I don't think anyone would have batted an eye if they'd waited until the promotion was over to give the keys away.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ o well

Welcome back, laoni! I hope you're doing well considering the circumstances. :)
And thank you for the chance - perhaps I can get a getaway ticket.

I am doing well! I've been busy back at studies, had a lot of medical appointments (Still clear on the cancer front a year out \o/) and now I'm self-isolating and studying from home. Been doing lots of mini painting and 3D printing, though slowed down now I don't hold in-person DnD sessions anymore

I'm glad to hear you've been doing well lately, and that you're still staying strong. :)
And yeah, unfortunately things are putting a bit of a damper on social activities, but that's what vidya is for! If I do win, you'll always be welcome on my island. And even if I don't win and I end up getting it, the offer stands!

On the one hand, sure would be nice to enter for those rare PS4 & Switch giveaways, especially when it's something I have interest in.

But for some reason, I can't help but feel it's a bit unfair to enter for a region that's not my own, even if I can easily make an account.

TBH I'm not a fan of those giveaways either. It's not as scummy as creating multiple SE accounts to grab keys to a game that's already free to literally everyone though...

Welcome back from me too, I'm glad your condition is good! I can sort of relate to how you must feel, I haven't seen my local friends in person for three weeks now, it's a weird feeling but what can you do. Sooner or later all this will be over with. And thanks for the generosity with the giveaway, I bought the game so I'm not entering but yeah if a game came at the perfect time of crisis it was Animal Crossing really :P

Thank you! Yeah, I'm pretty used to being in some sort of isolation or another so, while it doesn't wear too much on me now, I still miss going out and doing stuff in person. Feel really bad for our in person DnD sessions especially, those were a lot of fun and good social time every week.

I would have loved to do a doublepack of AC/Doom but, funds didn't allow for it alas. The AUD is having a bad time of it.

I can imagine but hey see it like this, once all this is through going out and having fun will feel all the more sweet again! :D And yeah, the German economy also moves to shambles status quick these days but it's no surprise with what happens. I tried Doom 2016 again via a friend's Family Share again after seeing all the hype for Eternal and as much as I want to like these games because the gameplay feels fun and good, the atmosphere is a tad too creepy for me :P

That's great to hear! I hear you it sucks with the limited socialization but the important thing is trying to keep healthy.
Amazing generosity as always.

It isn't harsh when someone has obviously signed up just to abuse this feature and essentially the kindness of others, which a review of their wins, posts and overall behaviour suggested.

Probably fair then. I didn't mean to suggest it was unwarranted and it no longer seems like it is harsh based on your explanation of the account activity.
