At the risk of sounding petty this is below the minimum to ride the train both in USD and €. Please fix this. (edit: Soashyant has a varied enough wishlist for you to find something cheap to add ;) )

Steam regional pricing can be an issue indeed sometimes when the difference is about 10%, one needs to try them one after the other or look the price difference on steamdb and the like sometimes, also sites like https://gg.deals/wishlist/ and https://isthereanydeal.com/ may help tremendously to find other places to get steam keys. But I just want to make sure noone feels shafted by the experience.

Amazing train with lovely people as always. Some great newcomers as well which is nice to see.

The high average seems to suggest we could raise the minimum to 15$ without issue if all aggree.

Either way, thanks a ton to Nettle for hosting us as usual and thanks to all of you for the amazing event. (and making me forget what reasonable means)

I'm not sure I should chime in as most has already been said but I guess as one of those who actually called out a few people the last few train and try to keep an eye on things (far from the most efficient one), it's fair . I'm not looking for anyone to be in trouble but I agree that this community event that is quite the highlight of the year is better when everybody tries their best to join in the spirit.

The main issue for me is not an occasional low gifting by a newcomer but when newcomers or very generous gifters are preyed upon by people who can afford several rides yet never really gift much higher than minimum. Not only it can make newcomers run away but worse it spoils the mood for those who actually have been insanely generous.

As an old timer, I believe that it's not fair to gift low to someone who has just gifted big and if I can't afford it I just won't. Although it's not always possible to gift back in kind, it's important to remember that the train is all about generosity and most of us know when we have been spoiled and try to keep track of who have been so good to us, keeping some names for when we can finally pay it back. I believe I have been insanely lucky and met tremendously generous people, some I'm still trying to pay back (but they struggle the monsters), some maybe I never will be able to because they don't ride anymore but the point is "reciprocity" is important and I'm glad to see when people who could not afford to ride higher in the past, now come back in force and pay in kind. A big element of the pleasure we have riding come from the surprise, and I believe it's best if it can be a "good" surprise :)

Although it may seem fair that if it's "on the wishlist then it's fine" as someone with an extra long wishlist I can say that not everything has the same value to my eyes (which is why I order it and point a limit) because some is there for steamgifts, because I didn't have time to look up a video, because of memory, want to gift it to someone else or even wouldn't mind trying if it ever gets free but whatever the reason is (and how silly one may think it is) the point Cuntpunch made is quite fair, gifting old, already bundled games does not have the same flavor as gifting something recent.

I don't think game keys are the issue, we are many at trying to avoid pricing issues by going to other sites like isthereanydeal or gg.deals and that's fine if it allows you to gift someone you'd have trouble gifting otherwise but at this point I'd not be against banning games that have already been free or already bundled several times from the gift train (unless someone says it's ok ) , it's easy to look up on sites like https://barter.vg/browse/ to see if a game has already been bundled or not. EGS (as some prefer to have everything on steam )and humblebundle (higher tier bundle) could be an exception of course but the idea would be to avoid games that often go on sale at 1$ to be gifted under a current value of 10$. Also raising the minimum really helped make the train smoother the last couple time imho and stats seem to indicate we can raise it some more.

Overall, I hope people understand (and I believe most do) that the important is the spirit and we only hope for such talk to not occur again and again. The point is for all to have fun and feel the spirit (esp for next one, it's going to be Christmas :P)
