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?
I'm sorry you are disappointed in your gifts. I thought your VG collect wishlist and sell list were fair game- so I used both.
Only purchase items from my wish list.
Additional comments:
Despite being listed on my Sell List, the items on there were selected specifically as options for Secret Santa.I read this as the sell list as additional options for purchasing.
You were not easy to buy for- you wanted a lot of stuff in mint condition/100% complete/new- and a lot of stuff well over the gift limit. I tried my best. My local stores had basically none of what you wanted on your smaller sell list- or if they did-not in the condition you were wanting.
Asura's Wrath was from my personal collection.
I saw Steamworld Dig 2 on your larger wishlist so I thought it was fair game. I didn't realize the art was repro- the local game store that I bought it from usually will identify repro cover art but I didn't check closely. It was priced at the rate of a complete copy so I was none the wiser. It probably fooled them as well. It didn't occur to me that repro cover art would even be an issue with Switch titles. If I would have known, I would have bought another game. I am sorry about that.
The other stuff I just threw in as extras as I thought with those two games I was well over the gift limit. You seemed to like sealed stuff so I thought a sealed game gear game would be a fun novelty for you. If it offends you so much, throw it away.
Anyways- that's my position on this. Hope everyone else is happy with their gifts.
