free games do not have collector value
but some are in vgcollect and some arn't
when do they count
becuase some games such as
team foretress 2
super crate box
and realm of the mad god all are in the site
but games like
narbacular drop
spelunky (PC)
and mighty jill off arn't
i think non should be in the site becuase of so much of them and that everyone can have them
TF2 wasn't a free to play game when it was released.
I personally do not like adding free games. I -could- add all the legal free games I have, but I don't want to add 500 or more entries since I don't think there's a point to it. Many of these were distributed in the early days of the internet. Oh, and shareware games? Nope. It would just bloat the database.
I add the free Steam games because technically you "own" them (as far as Steam lets you own them) when you add them to your account.
Also, some of us
don't care about collector value. We just want to catalog our games.
My guess is the only free games that arent on here are the ones that havent been added. I know myself I dont add anything I dont own. I cant see anyone complaining about a game being added to the database as thats what this is all about anyhow : The most complete tracking system.
I draw the line at people adding "abandonware" games, Dreamcast multi-game or custom soundtrack discs that were created by some random rom kiddie, and some types of unofficial games. I've deleted entries made by people who claimed some popular PC games were released digitally, when they never were - legally, at least.
