The new features are great and thanks Focus for the prizes! The ones who end up winning them are going be incredibly lucky :)

As an unrelated question (to anyone who knows): the Square Enix Key for FFXIV ARR that's part of a raffle - is that PC only? Or can I use a PS4 to play?

Yay I can finally turn off notifications for the 100+ giveaways I haven't won. No more getting messages telling me I'm a loser! (At least from Gift Bot)

Square Enix Key would usually refer to PC


SUBTLE~~
At this stage I'm assuming you just work at Nintendo. 😉

Haha, I wish! No, I'm just a plain old uni student :D

It's neat so many official entities are lending games.

Also is the raffle up yet or was it just the announcement?

I agree lol. People who don't know better and have wanted play Sims but never got around to it much might think they are standalone games, win them only to not have base game and get locked out of other raffles.

Which is exactly what happened to me lol.

I think the bare minimum people can do is at least research the games if they're intent on entering a raffle for 'em.

Hmmm, seems to be updating fine for me.

Point is they're all the same number for me, rather than the individual values for each game (as you can only choose one). Though I wouldn't be again hiding the value for each game until the raffle is over to stop people waiting until the end to pick the game with the least entries or something like that.

Ah, I see! Sorry, I misunderstood.
Yeah, it's showing up like that for me as well.

Edit: Oh wait, now it isn't, lol
I don't know what's going on here XD

Hmm strange... Clear cache and cookies? It's working fine for me when I refresh, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug.

The entry count looks correct for me on Chrome, Win 10. I see 3 different numbers for that Focus giveaway. The "not a bot" entry was just "tick the box", is that correct?

It seems to me that showing the current total for each entry can lead to people gaming it, waiting until near the end to pick the best odds. Which is fine, if that's the intended behavior rather than just showing a "total entered" stat at the bottom of the giveaway.

Great update on the Giftbot btw, and thanks Focus for that giveaway.
