Again, why make several threads for gifting games from different sites(Or even possibly not gift games from other sites at all?)? It makes no sense, what with people complaining about too many threads in general and all......plus it's easier to just put them in one thread.

To me it's pretty obvious, to you it isn't - we simply disagree on what constitutes as on or off topic, I guess.

I'm not going to argue with you or anyone else, though - I'll just keep my distance from "messes" like this thread has become (I'm not a neat freak, but I do like order, and to me personally, this thread is mixing things that are totally unrelated).

Not to pick on Cavalieroscuro in particular, but I can't help feeling a bit down when reading that someone asks for a GOG game on Steam in the "GOG community gifting thread". I know I'm fairly alone about it, but to me that's kind of a "fuck you GOG" in my ears.

Anyway, I don't particulary feel like part of the (old) "GOG community" anymore so I guess I better move aside to make room for the members of the new "GOG community" - you know, the one made up by gamers who doesn't really care as long as they get the games the want for as little money as possible..

We really should stick to only GOG games, you know. If you want steam games gifted to you, ask in steam forums?

Someone offering steam games here is another matter and perfectly acceptable, but asking for them here, I don't really approve. Not that my opinion matters that much in the end.

One other thing that really irks me, and I'm sure you'll hate me for this, but I don't understand people putting wishlists here that are 20+ games long. To me it sounds so much like begging and all.. Wishlists that are few games long are perfectly okay and helps the gifters, but...

I shall now back out to my corner, sit down and sway around humming twinkle twinkle little star..

If it makes you feel any better, I was offered Postal 2 twice on Desura, DRM-free, and turned it down both times because I really wanted the GOG version :P

I agree with each and every point of yours - perhaps we may share a corner?

As for 20+ lists; to me such lists also convey the feeling that they don't really care about the games that much. I mean, it's perfectly understandable to have a top three and no clue about which one of those is the most wanted (because of different genres or whatever), but not knowing what games out of 20 belongs in the upper and lower half?

It's off-topic(I guess) to ask for non-GOG games in here as it wasn't the original purpose of the thread. We could make a new thread with the purpose of allowing all kinds of gifting, but why not just re-purpose this one? I'm sure NMillar wouldn't mind, at any rate.
---------------------------
I wasn't trying to argue, btw.....i'm just trying to discuss the issue(s) at hand with you. I hope I didn't come across as overly argumentative?

BTW, please clarify: How is gifting a game on a different site unrelated to gifting a game from this site? Both actions involve gifting games, just from different sites.
--------------------------
I think you're overreacting here, honestly.....just my honest opinion. As for Cavalieroscuro.........maybe he wants his game on Steam and not the GOG version for some reason. It doesn't mean he hates GOG or is telling GOG/us to f*** off just because he wants a game on a different site that GOG also sells.
--------------------------
Doesn't everyone want to save money? And who doesn't like getting something for nothing or close to it? Just because one holds such values doesn't make them a bad person, imo.

I agree with sticking to GOG only wishlists. Steam allows you to publicize your wishlist. GOG does not. If GOG gave us the ability to do so, I don't think this thread would even exist.

You two sound like old men telling the young kids to get off your lawn/like you just complain for the sake of having something to complain about or be offended by....:\

Sorry but I ask for a Steam key of Syberia 2 only because the game is out cheapest with bab2,and maybe someone take it but don't want use it.

Thanks for wanting me to feel better - I appreciate it =) Not that I'd feel bad if you'd accepted the Desura offer(s), though - it's not other DDs that I have a gripe with (is that the correct expression?), it's how people sometimes behave here on the GOG forums.

I'm sorry for making such sweeping remarks - I know very well that a lot of people here are here because, well, GOG is GOG and not just another DD company.

Build a bundle 2 is still going? Just clarifying.

They extended it for another week, and added more games.

If it really bothers you so much, just gift people who ask for GOG games. That way, people who ask for games from Steam or other DDs will see they get nothing and stop. Basic supply and demand:P

I expected as much, and I really didn't want to pick on you in particular; it just "looked so bad" right after my old-fart-rant, if you get what I mean =/

Not that you or anyone else have to "please" me, but personally I'd reacted a lot better if you'd posted that you wanted to play Syberia 2 and that you'd also accept it on Steam.
Well, I don't. I want value for my money, not necessarily save money. Similar yet very different.

Yes, I'm probably overreacting and all. Doesn't really matter, though. I'll get my old arse off your lawn.
Yes, it apparently bothers me "that much", but no, I'm not going to do that. I don't have to gift anyone.

Didn't say you have to. Just making a suggestion :)
