Weekly Giveaways are back on the Web
3/3/2024
Short explanation: Starting today I recover the weekly giveaways on the web. There may be errors since I do not have the budget to test all browsers/systems, so if you find any, send an email to admin@pepeizqdeals.com.
Long explanation: Since I threw away Wordpress and started developing the website from scratch, I always had in mind programming a subsystem to giveaway games, copying the idea of SteamGifts (with a registered account on the website and a user of Steam associated with that account). And finally, starting today, I can start testing it by giveaway games with everyone who visits the website. My plan is to do weekly giveaways divided into two Steam groups based on your contribution:
- A free entry Steam group where anyone can participate in the giveaways as long as they comply with minimum rules, such as not having the game or that there are at least 50 games on the user's Steam account (to avoid clone accounts). In this group I do not intend to be strict and for this reason do not expect the best games there.
- Another Steam group with restricted access, here will be the best games that I can afford to giveaway with you and access will be restricted to everyone who has helped me in some way with the website. I plan to start drawing games in this group next week if this week's free group giveaways go well. And yes, all of you who are in this group right now will remain in this group if you register an account on the website.
This week I only draw 3 games because it is the minimum that I consider necessary to see that everything works correctly "inside", if everything goes ahead I will increase the number of giveaways in the coming weeks.
As a personal opinion, I could have done like GGdeals and started inflating social media follower numbers with giveaways, but forgive me for being foul mouthed, that seems like shit to me. I prefer that the excess money from the website ends up in the people who visit me in the fairest way possible, and you can even see the source code that distributes the games.
I am aware that i am extremely slow developing functionalities for the website and for this reason i prefer not to tell you openly what I am working on, so that you can get an idea, at first the giveaways i had planned to finish programming it in January but we are already in March. Everything i do on the website is in my free time and within the annual budget of $300, which is what it costs me to pay for everything related to the maintenance of the website, so be pious, do not expect the work of a billionaire multinational in the web.
