I'm not your Santa either Masamune, but I'm sorry that you were dissapponted with your gift. I think the mistake with the Steamworld Dig game is very easy one to make. I doubt I would have been able to tell the difference.

However, if you don't count the Game Gear game and treat Steamworld Dig as loose, the approximate value is still $70 not including shipping. I like many others, tend to overspend during this event, and it's not fair to those who do follow our budget to be expected to do the same and then be criticized for doing the "bare minimum".

I think the real conversation here is whether our budget should be increased for next year. And I think we should be stricter about following that budget so that it is more fair for all involved.

The value and budget aren't the real issues. The real issue was not going off the list that was given.

masamune I'm not your gifter, but it looks like you've got both a Sell List populated like a Wish List and regular Wish List - and that has Steamworld Dig on it.  Seems like an easy mistake to make - and I definitely wouldn't be able to identify a KO of that game (something I'm always concerned about when buying carts for other people).

Yes, I do have SteamWorld Dig 2 on my regular wishlist, but the gifter was given the link to my sell list which I use as my Secret Santa list each year. My Secret Santa list has the words "(Secret Santa)" placed in the notes to minimize any confusion.

I would like know my gifters thought process on all this and if he knew the insert for SteamWorld Dig 2 was counterfeit.

Guys,

I typically open my Secret Santa gift early because I participate in multiple Secret Santas across the internet and want to avoid getting duplicate items. This is what I received:



There was only 1 item that I asked for here (Asura's Wrath). I specifically asked for only items off my given wishlist:



I thought my specified wishlist was varied and included several moderately priced items.

Additionally, I was given a Game Gear game. I don't have a Game Gear and am not sure why my gifter thought I collect Game Gear games.

To top it all off, the insert for the SteamWorld Dig 2 game is a counterfeit. This game's insert is supposed to have a reversible cover. You can check Youtube videos to verify this. Also the feel of the insert is unlike an official Switch insert. This is how I knew for sure it was not authentic.



I always go above and beyond when I do Secret Santas, so it hurts me when someone does less than the bare minimum to fill their quota.

This indeed has been the most disappointing Secret Santa I have ever participated in. There was almost no thought put in the gifts procured. It reeks of laziness.

I would just like to know who my Secret Santa this year is, and what was the thought process behind the gifts he chose?

Is there going to be a Secret Santa this year?

I would be down for it if there were.

Sorry about that. I was pulling in the descriptor text too and it was throwing it off. Please let me know if this resolves things.

Yes, the problem is fixed. Thank you so much.

Thank you. This relieves the frustration of entering in data at least. It didn't always behave this way. This started a couple months ago.

Hopefully this flaw is fixed in the future.

When I want to add a date purchased to a game in my collection, the price that was inputted previously disappears. When I go back in to add the cost back in, the year of purchase I just entered disappears. When I go in once again to enter the year back in, the cost disappears again.

I’m using Mozilla Firefox.

Will there be a fix to this?

Edit: So I wrote this a week+ ago and never hit post...Oops

I'm still in disbelief about what I got this year from Secret Santa.
-bookmark(my guess) of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
- Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Soundtrack
- Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (Xbox)
- Legacy of Kain Defiance (Xbox)
- Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico
- Wonderful 101 (switch)
- Deadly Premonition Origins (Switch)


And then there was one more Item.
Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse on the NES...BOXED



Seriously I'm absolutely floored by this. Thank you so much

I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I also liked watching the reveal video.

Take care.
