Thanks so much to Cheaplikeafox for doing this!

PM me if you're interested in a group spot.

You can look at their front page and see some guy bought over 200 "gifts" so they know that people can't be just that generous. Anyway, I emailed them about it because one of the 5 bundles I set aside for my own mini group of family was missing a key and I told them that other bundles from my gifts had been reported missing keys. They asked me for a list of what bundles were missing what. I told them I was just telling the gift receivers to email them if any bundles were missing anything, but they have still insisted I get them a list of missing games/bundles. So I finally got that back to them (a royal pain) and I will let you guys know what they say. If anyone else gets trouble/the runaround from IG support PM me and I will try to work with them directly as the gift buyer and get you sorted out.

That's probably what it is. I wasn't going to totally lie to them, so I replied saying something along the lines of "I got them from a friend; I wasn't going to assume he'd give them to me for free, that's rude." and they replied saying:

"It's not a big deal, for this time no problem but we don't want it to become a general behavior."

Obviously they're getting wise to what people are doing and they don't really like it. Either way, I don't think they can do much about it. It may not even be legal for them to say otherwise...

Yeah, they are trying to discourage it by limiting happy hour. In the future, it might be wiser to have ton of different people host as opposed to one person hosting multiple bundles. It's really not that much of a hassle, CAGs here are great and pay quick, etc, but it seems some people are hesitant to host. After having to go through and list all the bundles with issues this time to get my ONE bundle fixed, I'm probably going to limit how many I host to 2 probably at the most from now on.

Look at it this way, Cheap sent you a gift. Later you sent him a monetary gift. Ummm, sounds like Christmas lol Sorry if none of my posts make sense, I don't sleep much.

Yeah, they couldn't say much when I said that my friend sent it to me and I wanted to reimburse him. That's not their right to regulate. Obviously they are realizing what people are doing in group buys though. Not like they could really do anything about it anyways.

They can't prevent people from giving gifts, but they could eliminate the quadrupling if they feel it's discouraging more people from buying not-gifts.

Updated. One more spot left, help yourself and these folks if interested ALSO: BTA now $5. Slot price back to $2!

Only an hour or so left. Need one more.

indiegala X incoming. someone please reserve me a happy hour slot. XD

I'm down for 2x Happy Hour Packs for Indie Gala X.
If anyone is hosting then please add me to their group buy and PM me.

Also please note this from the Indie Gala site:

Only BTA people will be qualified 'early buyer' for the Happy Hour ( if an HappyHour will be )

I'm down for one slot for IndieGala X.

I'm in for a Happy Hour slot. As long as the price is at least $2 less than the BTA.

In for 1 Happy Hour slot.

(Hope there is one.)
