This way you're not stuck holding the (overhead) bag and the CCs have more options and know a fixed system is in place. The only downside I see to it is some may not want to reveal personal information about themselves to receive gift cards.Isn't that effectively the same as cashing out via paypal, which is already an option?

LeonidasNerevar Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ol' Dark0ne is making the hard calls again. I'm glad we have you as our fearless leader. You're doing a good job; so much better than any other host for ANY other site or game. EA and Bethesda should take notes from you on how to treat their people. You maintain a happy and growing community by doing what's right and good for the gamers, not just what fills your pocket. Please don't ever change. Thank you.

EnaiSiaion Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks. :) I feel like a prick just withdrawing all the money but it goes towards costs of living while studying. Once I have a real job, I'll start donating my points. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
