Cubetractor indiegala12/27/2023 Comments can be left at any time, not just on the day of the giveaway. Maybe it is something the GGAOTD team can change. There has to be a good reason why more people don't comment about these games. People post comments all the time all over the internet. Regardless, maybe the GGAOTD community can make suggestions as to how to improve the comment structure or even just describe why they don't comment. Or maybe I'm the only one who can't get around to playing these games on the same day. I think even the voting is closed when the day is done, adding to that "done" feeling. I agree with you, White Rabbit, but given the current comment structure and the relative difficulty in finding a particular game on the site (especially for unfamiliar visitors), I think it's hard to get around the feeling that, once the day is over, the comments are pointless. So if my comment would be helpful to someone, it's lost on the forums. I could go to the forums, but even that seems like a waste of time for similar reasons the giveaway is over and if someone should happen to stumble upon the original giveaway page and decide to read through the comments, there is no link to additional comments posted on the forums. Who will know that I commented or even care at that point? It seems to me that after the giveaway day, the comment thread is dead. In the past I've made an effort to comment even if I'm just a day or so late, but it seems pointless by then - not all of the comments are initially visible, there is no way to subscribe to a comment thread to be notified of new comments, and no way to sort the comments (that I recall). Most of the time, I don't get to a game until at least the next day, if not the weekend or later. As far as commenting, I think part of the problem may simply be that players don't always get to the giveaway game until after the day is over.
