Maighstir: So, apparently competition among giveaways have become so fierce that they're starting to personally invite people to enter. Most markets thrive when demand is slightly higher than supply, as the prices for the services and goods offered can rise slightly while the customers still feel they're getting their money's and time's worth.

Have the giveaway market become so saturated that too few people even bother to enter to see what's being offered, much less pay the price (take the time to type "I'm in") to get in on the offer?

I certainly hope not, as that would not offer much room at all for competition or game-like giveaways (the cost of entering being much higher), but perhaps the market needs to implode under its own weight before it can rise up again like a Phoenix.

It was quite surreal getting the message "I'd be honored if you'd enter my GA", and that's what promted me to type this. Sadly, I don't have much to offer in the way of increased demand, I'm quite sure I already have all GOGs offered, I'd rather not add games I'm not very certain I'll play to my Steam account (preferably I'd add none at all and delete the thing, but some games I want to play have no other option), and I have yet to create an account at Desura.
It did feel a little strange to me too, but I've dealt with Momo1991 on giveaways before, and from the OP I could see that there actually is a sincerity there in terms of them wanting people to participate, and wanting to give something back to the community. I can also relate to a desire to see people taking part in a giveaway thread. I remember when I held my first System Shock 2 CD giveaway and practically no one replied; I wondered if I'd done anything to inadvertently offend people. Heh.

Having gotten an invitation, I enter ;p

I enter for either of these games:
1. Wizardry 8
2. System Shock 2

Btw, this is the most epic giveaway I've ever seen. Damn

Thanks momo and NameGoo. Also a shout out to all the other contributors of this giveaway ;]

edit:
I also enter for Journey to the Center of the Earth on behalf of Homer.

Oh yes, I wanted to also add that at this rate, should we expect to see people paying us to take part in giveaways?

"Please take part in my System Shock 2 giveaway! I'll give you a free copy of Daikatana for entering!"

Momo1991: I am also compiling a list of posters that refused to enter - any games left over will be randomly distributed according to the random.org gods of randomness - mwhahaha, ninja's get ready!
If you had told that earlier I'd have arranged for a donation of a dozen DOTA keys. You could count on 100% participation then.

Or a clear-cut case of "No good deed goes unpunished" ;-p

Srsly, I have tried to invite as many forum members as possible - especially long-time Goglodytes such as the magisterial warghhagable one running a game that I'd been participating in. An invitation is not required and if I've missed you, it is no reflection on your generosity whatsoever. My fault entirely...

Momo1991: And EDITS at the END of the THREAD will be GREATLY appreciated - please, please, please do not make me proofread EVERY single entry. I am BEGGING you ;-P

Errors will happen so updated posts at the end will definitely be appreciated!

At the very least, please link your edited post - I have literally spent hours compiling this and I'd hate to have errors ;-p
I've edited several times, so here is the latest:

I would like to be considered for Wizardry 8 on GOG.
If we can enter for more than one, I would also pencil my name in for:
Journey to the Center of the Earth on GOG
Pid on Steam
Telltale HumbleBundle link including Walking Dead on Steam

Thank you again.
